Insulated Packaging Market By Material Type (Corrugated Cardboard, Metal, Glass, Plastic), By Type, By Application, And Segment, Global Forecasts, 2019 - 2027

Insulated Packaging Market Definition

Insulated packaging protects consumers from internal disruption as well as temperature and pressure variations. Cosmetics, foods & drinks, pharmaceuticals, and electronics are among the industries that use packaging. Industrial chemicals are inherently dangerous and prone to spontaneous combustion. This bulk chemical must be treated with care since they come in solid, liquid, and gaseous forms. Over the projected period, the IP market is expected to be driven by the growing packaged food and beverage industry, rising urbanization, and a rapidly growing population.

During the forecast period, the insulated packaging market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.7 % in terms of volume. In 2020, the industry is expected to be worth USD 11.4 billion, rising to USD 15.8 billion by 2027.

 Insulated Packaging Market Overview

Insulation film is a material (or a mixture of materials) that has a low thermal conductivity and resists the flow of heat. The most common problem encountered when transporting temperature-sensitive goods is thermal violence, which can be avoided by using sealed packing materials. Increased use of these packaging materials in industries such as pharmaceuticals and electronics, as well as the demand, especially from the healthcare sector, for temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals and medical devices, as these products are temperature sensitive, are driving the Insulated Packaging Industry.

Furthermore, pandemic-driven consumer behavioral reform, increased demand for temperature-sensitive products, urbanization, the proliferation of the e-commerce sector, and growth in people's disposable income all benefit the Insulated Packaging Market .

Insulated Packaging Market Segmentation:

The demand for Insulated Packaging is divided into four categories: material, packaging style, packaging shape, and end-use. The growth of the various segments aids you in gaining awareness of the various growth trends that are projected to be present in the industry, as well as formulating different tactics to better distinguish core application areas and differences in your target markets.

 According to material Segmentation in the Insulated packaging market, Linerboard and fluted corrugated sheet make up corrugated cardboard. These elements strengthen corrugated cardboard and allow it to withstand high pressure, the metal panels used to make IP goods serve as a moisture and air shield, as well as creating a vapor within the solid heart, which improves thermal stability whereas As per Packaging shape, Glass packaging is lightweight and is often used to package beverages such as juices, carbonated beverages, alcoholic beverages, and energy drinks. The Plastic material is used to package items that require regulated temperature and pressure handling, as well as to pack meats and store and dry age them for periods ranging from a few months to several years.

Over the projected era, the insulated packaging market in the Application segment is expected to benefit from rising global demand for pharmaceutical drugs. Food & beverage was the most common application category, accounting for 26.2 percent of the industry. Along with a variety of other sectors such as cosmetics,  industrial, and so forth.

Insulated Packaging Market Geography Overview:

Asia Pacific had the largest share of the Insulated Packaging industry. Factors such as the increasingly growing need for insulated packaging in the food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries in countries like China, Japan, and India have resulted in an increase in demand for insulated packaging. Because of the growth of the manufacturing sector, dynamical sociological developments, and increased demand for packaging from the medical and pharmaceutical industries in the region, North America is projected to expand at a substantial CAGR from 2018 to 2027.

Insulated Packaging Market Dynamics:

Driver- Surging demand for temperature-sensitive goods

The distance between various parts of the world has shrunk as a result of globalization.  As a result, the number of imports and exports between countries is growing. Shocks can cause damage to a variety of items, while weather fluctuations can cause damage to some. For products that need specific temperature conditions, Insulated Packaging is the only option. Increased demand for temperature-sensitive products has resulted from the rise of the pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries. People are increasingly dependent on refined and frozen foods, as well as expensive goods, due to changing diets and high disposable incomes, which is driving the insulated packaging market growth.

Restraint: Increasing raw material costs

Main raw materials, such as rubber, glass, paper, and aluminum, are in short supply for producers of insulated materials. The price of raw materials from foreign markets rises as currency exchange rates become more volatile. Manufacturers are forced to use recycled agricultural waste, recycled paper, and recycled plastic waste as raw materials as a result of the cost. Thus, increasing raw material costs and the requirement of advanced Research are restraining the market’s growth.

Opportunity: High growth potential in developing countries

The logistics of insulated bundled goods has a lot of scope in developing countries like Brazil, India, and China because of their high growth potential. These countries still have a large supply of raw materials. The manufacturing industry, which includes food and beverages, automobiles, electronics, and chemicals, has benefited from strong economic growth in China and India. Given the growing urban population and the growth of the manufacturing industry in emerging economies, packaging companies must investigate the untapped opportunity in these countries in order to maximize their market share which is expected to drive the insulated packaging market forward.

Insulated packaging is a diverse and dynamic industry with many major competitors and a small number of regional and local players. Any of the market's major players include Deutsche Post DHL (Germany), E. I. Du Pont De Nemours and Co. (US), Amcor Limited (Australia), Sonoco Products Company (US), and Huhtamaki OYJ (Finland).

Recent News and Development:

1. In June 2019, Amcor acquired Bemis Company Inc. The combined company will now operate as Amcor plc (Amcor), trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol AMCR and on the Australian Securities Exchange under the ticker symbol AMC.
2. In August 2020, Sonoco acquired Can Packaging, a privately-owned designer and manufacturer of sustainable paper packaging and related manufacturing equipment, based in Habsheim, France, for approximately USD 49 million.
