KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Consistent temperature-controlled packaging is a crucial component of shipping perishable products such as food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals. Chilled food, generally stored between 0-5°C, includes perishable items that need refrigeration to slow down bacterial growth and maintain freshness. Such packaging ensures that items are kept within a specific temperature range to help preserve the quality and safety of a product leading to the longer shelf life of food products, driving the growth of this market.



  • For instance, food wastage is one of the biggest challenges for the globe and a major portion of waste during transportation is due to the lack of temperature-controlled packaging and improper processing of food. According to the Food & Drug Association, in the U.S., food waste is projected at between 30 to 40% of the food supply. Thus, the increasing food waste has led to a higher demand for chilled food packaging and contributed to the growth of this market.


Rigid chilled food packaging is used as the substitute for temperature-controlled logistics, minimizing the cost. The sturdiness, durability, and barrier to the outer environment offered by the boxes and cartons are enhancing the growth of this packaging. Additionally, the increasing innovation in the products led to the development of microwavable trays that can be used to reheat the products and can be further used for other purposes, contributing to the rigid chilled food packaging market. Furthermore, the easy customizability, printability, and high recycling rates of metal cans are further fueling the market growth.

The high cost associated with the rigid chilled food packaging solution surges the end cost. The complex technology and lack of technical knowledge in smaller manufacturers are restrcitng the growth of this market. The high initial cost, lack of infrastructure, and poor maintenance are also impeding the growth of the rigid chilled food packaging market.

The COVID-19 pandemic had affected the entire food and packaging supply chain, such as production plants, warehouses, retailing shops, and others, due to the lockdowns and ban on social gatherings. The demand for chilled food during that phase spiked as the food can retain the taste and have a longer shelf life. However, the market has seen negative demand due to the rising concerns about the transmission of the virus through the packaging. Thus, the rigid chilled food packaging market was negatively impacted by the pandemic.
