Cooler Box Market size was valued at USD 4,852.9 million in 2022, with a strong CAGR of 10.3 percent expected from 2023 to 2029. The cooler box market is growing due to expansion in the pharmaceutical sector, continuous COVID-19 vaccination programs, and technological developments in the cooler box business to ship packaged and dairy products, fresh fruits, vegetables, and other perishable food goods. The increase in the need for temperature control to prevent food loss and potential health hazards is one of the main aspects driving the cooler box market. Additionally, the high usage for the transportation of processed and fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and other perishable food products, growth in population, rapid urbanization, change in lifestyle, and research and development activities positively affect the cooler box market. Furthermore, increased demand for insulated packaging, technological advancements, and growth in the organized retail sector extend profitable opportunities to the cooler box market players in the forecast period. The reusable cooler box segment is expected to develop at the fastest CAGR during the projection period. In 2021, the reusable cooler box segment held the largest proportion of the cooler box market. Reusable cooler boxes on the market are becoming more durable on the outside, with hard shells replacing the cardboard and foam of disposable cooler boxes. These cooler boxes are primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical business, where preserving product temperature for more extended periods is crucial.
