Insulated Packaging Market Regional Outlook, Application, Trends By 2027 | Top Key Players - Deutsche Post DHL, American Aerogel, TP Solutions, Sonoco, Innovative Energy, Providence Packaging

Let’s now understand how the need for sustainability is changing insulated packaging market trends and how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the product demand.

The need for reliable and sustainable packaging solutions in areas such as food, pharmaceutical, healthcare, and life sciences is driving the market for insulated packaging market. It is a type of packaging used for temperature sensitive products such as foods and beverages, drugs, chemicals, blood, organs, vaccines, and biological materials. They are utilized as part of a cold chain to help maintain the freshness and efficacy of these products and materials.

The demand for insulated packaging market solutions experienced a notable uptick during 2020 due to growing supply and distribution of medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and raw materials required for formulating a vaccine. These solutions will certainly be of vital importance in the near future for the safe distribution COVID-19 vaccines.

Sustainability needs are constantly driving new product innovations

Companies designing insulated packaging materials for temperature sensitive medical and pharmaceutical products constantly face the challenge of making environmentally friendly products. In recent years, the industry has witnessed numerous product innovations that could help meet sustainability goals in the packaging sector.

In November 2020, for instance, Sonoco ThermoSafe, a leading provider of insulated packaging products for healthcare and life sciences, had rolled out the EOS™ line of 100% curb side recyclable insulated packaging in the U.S.

Numerous companies producing temperature controlled packaging materials claim curb side recyclability but make use of inner panels, pallets, and liner coatings that cannot be separated and become unrecyclable. According to Sonoco ThermoSafe, EOS is completely made of post-processing, pre-consumer paper fiber produced naturally during the manufacturing of the company’s consumer paper products.

Food subscription boxes have been gaining massive popularity worldwide. However, they often create excessive amount of plastic waste. In August 2019, Toronto based meat delivery service NIKU farms had selected a new eco-friendly and biodegradable packaging material from KTM Industries for its insulated coolers. Apparently, NIKU Farms is Canada’s first meat delivery service to make use of KTM’s Green Cell Foam, a completely water soluble, biodegradable, and backyard compostable material.

Green Cell Foam is made from non-GMO corn starch that offers similar properties as petroleum based foams. According to KTM, its production requires up to 70% less energy and generates 80% lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Insulated packaging could help in safe distribution of COVID-19 vaccines

With rapid spread of the coronavirus outbreak worldwide, the packaging industry has faced a dual impact. While the COVID-19 crisis led to some of the sharpest declines in demand for certain types of packaging in recent times, it accelerated the demand for others, including insulated packaging which is widely used for packaging of medical supplies and raw materials for the vaccine.

With so much time and effort going into formulating a COVID-19 vaccine, developers also need to figure out how they could transport the vaccine throughout the world. Packaging solution providers are working on designing tailored solutions that meet the regulatory requirement for COVID-19 vaccines.

Citing an instance, in March 2021, Thermal Custom Packaging (TCP) had developed a new insulated packaging technology for transporting mRNA COVID-19 vaccines at exact temperature requirements specified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). CDC recommends that the mRNA vaccine must be stored and transported at a temperature of -20 degrees Centigrade or less. Public health officials have learned that gel packs fail to maintain this temperature range.

Previously, as many as 11,900 vaccine doses shipped by a pharmaceutical distribution firm had been destroyed on their way to Michigan as gel packs made them too cold. Many such incidents had occurred during a time when the country was facing a shortage of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
TCP’s insulated container and phase change materials (PCMs) can reliably maintain the mRNA vaccine temperature requirements and are being used for safe transportation and storage of vaccines to new U.S. cities.

It is quite evident that insulated packaging market solutions will continue to play an integral role in COVID-19 vaccine deliver throughout the world. Leading producers in the space, including American Aerogel, Huhtamaki, Innovative Energy, Deutsche Post DHL, Sonoco, Temper Pack, Providence Packaging, and TP Solutions are continuously innovating to design materials that can help meet specific application requirements as well as environmental sustainability goals.
