Strong Growth Fueled by Pharma, Biologics & Perishables
Across the United States and Canada, demand for temperature-controlled packaging has surged due to an uptick in vaccines, biologics, and specialty medicines requiring highly reliable thermal protection. Consumers are also buying more fresh and frozen foods-leading retail and logistics sectors to invest in insulated containers, phase-change materials (PCM), and reusable shippers.
Regulators like the EPA and Environment Canada are pressing the industry toward greener packaging through stringent Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) rules. At the same time, companies are accelerating the adoption of sustainable foams, recyclable components, and IoT-enabled tracking systems to ensure both compliance and carbon reduction.
Established & Emerging Manufacturers Moving Aggressively Toward Innovation
Leading North American suppliers-Sonoco ThermoSafe, Pelican BioThermal, Cryopak, Cold Chain Technologies, and Softbox Systems-continue to dominate with performance-driven and reusable products. These companies are forming strategic alliances with logistics service providers to minimize spoilage, enhance traceability, and meet tight regulatory standards.
New entrants and mid-sized players such as TemperPack Technologies, Nordic Cold Chain Solutions, RipplePak, Engineered Packaging Inc., Mettcover Global, and Atlas Molded Products are scaling operations with advanced foams, lightweight materials, smart data-logging capabilities, and eco-friendly insulation. Their presence is intensifying competition while expanding technology access for small and mid-size pharmaceutical and food exporters.
