by Foam cooler boxes are portable insulated containers that are used for storing and transporting temperature-sensitive items such as food, pharmaceuticals, and scientific specimens. They provide effective insulation to maintain the temperature of contents for extended periods of time. Foam cooler boxes have low thermal conductivity and can keep contents cold for up to 5 days without ice replenishment. Their light weight and collapsible features make them convenient for transportation purposes. The global Foam Cooler Box Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2.93 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.6% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
