U.S. Cold Chain Packaging Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Crates, Insulated Containers & Boxes, Cold Packs, Labels), By Material (Insulating Material), By Application (Fruits & Vegetables), And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030
U.S. Cold Chain Packaging Market Growth & Trends:
The U.S. cold chain packaging market size is estimated to reach USD 19.06 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 15.6% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Market growth is profoundly influenced by extensive demand for perishable goods worldwide and availability of food and health supplies.
Current economic and political scenario has also played a crucial role in industry growth. For instance, trade conflict between U.S. and China is expected to negatively impact the growth of the cold chain market in U.S. In March 2018, U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on steel and 10% on aluminum imported from China. China, in turn, announced a 15-25% tariff on products imported from U.S., including pork, fruits, wine, nuts, and vegetables. These high tariffs imposed on food and agriculture produce is expected to negatively affect market growth.
Furthermore, outsourcing cold and frozen storage operations offer manufacturers various cost benefits. This can help eliminate costs associated with warehouse space and management, technology, transportation, and labor. Operational costs such as employee salaries, heating and cooling expenses, insurance, and electric power costs can also be reduced by working with supply chain partners. As a result, manufacturers can increase their profit margins and focus on core business activities such as quality product manufacturing, growing customer base, and satisfaction of customer needs.
Raw material suppliers in the cold chain packaging market supply primary materials required for producing isolated containers, in addition to other packaging components. Insulating materials used in cold chain packaging include expanded or extruded polystyrene, polyurethane, and polyethylene. These are manufactured using core materials such as silica or fiberglass in a multilayer polymer or vacuum aluminized coating. Thermal Conservation Technologies; va-Q-tec AG; and Thermal Visions, Inc. are some of the raw material providers in U.S.
Cold chain packaging manufacturers use raw materials for producing insulated containers. They are responsible for designing and developing packaging solutions depending on user requirements. The raw materials used vary depending on duration of temperature control required for the packaged product as well as on external temperature. Polystyrenes, polyurethane, and Vacuum Insulated Panels (VIP) are used depending on external temperatures and duration of shipping. Manufacturers develop packaging products depending on the industries they would be used in as well as other aspects such as weight and size.
U.S. Cold Chain Packaging Market Report Highlights:
- Based on product, insulated containers and boxes led the market with a share of 55.2% in 2024, attributed to the increasing demand for temperature-sensitive products across various sectors.
- By material, the refrigerants segment expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.7% over the forecast period, attributed to their essential role in maintaining temperature stability for perishable goods
- In 2024, the fish, meat, and seafood segment dominated the market, attributed to the rising consumption of meat and seafood and the need for stringent temperature control during transportation necessitates effective cold-chain solutions.
