Biodegradable Foam Cooler Market Growth Accelerated by Rising Demand for Sustainable Packaging Solutions

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.

Market key trends:

Growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions in the food and beverage industry is propelling the demand for foam cooler boxes. Foam cooler boxes provide an eco-friendly alternative to plastic cooler boxes as they produce less waste and can be reused multiple times. They have high durability and do not leach harmful chemicals into the contents. Their insulation properties allow reducing the amount of ice required for temperature control applications. These advantages are increasing their adoption over conventional plastic coolers and driving the growth of the global foam cooler box market during the forecast period.

SWOT Analysis
