Disposable
Ice Packs are Gaining Recognition as a Convenient Cold
Therapy
Increasing modernisation,
increased attention on product customisation by leading companies and
rising purchasing power are the aspects that will boost disposable ice
packs market growth. Increasing demand for sustainable and biodegradable
packaging solutions is driving the market. Rising demand from the chemical
sector, as well as the growth and expansion of the pharmaceutical industry,
particularly in the developing countries, will lead to disposable ice packs market expansion.
According to Canadian Physiotherapy Association, cold therapy is an effective
therapeutic option for many people; however, it is not recommended for people
who have: ischemia, anaesthesia, vasospasm, open or infected wound, eczema
or acute dermatitis. Growing awareness regarding the benefits of ice packs such
as product durability, portability, non-toxicity and others are some major
disposable ice packs market growth factors.
Growing Use of Disposable Ice Packs in Medical
and Healthcare Sector Fuels the Market
One of the primary factors
driving the disposable ice packs market in North America is the demand for
disposable ice packs in the treatment of sports injuries. Consumer demand for
packed, ready-to-eat and microwaveable food in the United States and Canada
is likely to fuel the growth of the disposable ice packs market throughout the
forecast period. Other factors that are anticipated to support the growth of
the disposable ice packs market in North America over the forecast period
include an increase in the number of major disposable ice pack manufacturers in
the region, rising demand for treating sports injuries and rising trade in
meat products. The market for disposable ice packs is expanding in Europe owing
to the rising demand from the medical and healthcare sector, rising need
for fresh food and the presence of several leading suppliers in
the region.
Price Fluctuations & Presence of
Disposable Ice Pack Substitutes are Likely to be a Challenge for Market
Participants
The major drawback to disposable
ice packs is that they can only be used once and are therefore more expensive
than reusable or homemade ice packs. Price fluctuations in raw packaging
materials may hamper the market growth. The rising expenses of
innovative packaging methods may further restrict the rate of development
of the disposable ice packs market. Also, the increased availability of
alternatives in the market may hamper the growth rate of the disposable
ice packs market.

Disposable Ice Packs Market is Being Driven
by the Increased Focus on Biodegradable Packaging
The increasing usage of bio-based
plastics in place of petroleum-based resins is expected to result in
considerable reductions in volatile emissions and carbon footprint.
Furthermore, companies are taking steps to promote the usage of biodegradable
packaging in the production of disposable ice packs. Food and beverage
manufacturers prefer environment friendly or biodegradable food packaging
alternatives, such as disposable ice packs. Disposable ice packs become
increasingly popular as they provide heat, humidity and gas resistance, as
well as an odour barrier. Furthermore, these ice packs are not easy to
puncture and have a high tensile strength, durability and chemical
resistance. The increased use of eco-friendly ice packs will have a favourable
impact on the market and contribute significantly to its expansion throughout
the forecast period.
