According to the U.S. Census data, the U.S. retail e-commerce sales for the fourth quarter of 2023 were over USD 285.2 billion, an increase of over 7.5% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Also, the online pharmacy sector has seen substantial growth, fueled by the convenience of home delivery and the rising demand for over-the-counter and prescription medications. Many pharmaceuticals including vaccines and biologics are temperature-sensitive and require temperature-controlled packaging to ensure their efficacy and safety until they reach the consumer.
 

The expansion of cold-chain logistics globally, fueled by globalization and trade liberalization, is also a significant growth driver. As more products are shipped across greater distances, the need for effective temperature-controlled packaging solutions to ensure product integrity during transit becomes paramount.

The development, production, and operation of temperature-controlled packaging solutions often involve significant costs associated with advanced materials and technologies such as phase change materials, high-performance insulation, and smart sensors for temperature monitoring. The development and production of these components can be expensive, contributing to higher initial costs for these packaging solutions compared to standard packaging options. For businesses, especially Small- & Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), these high costs can be a major barrier to adoption. Maintaining specific temperature ranges during storage and transportation requires energy, especially for active cooling systems. The infrastructure needed for charging or powering these systems, along with the energy consumption costs, adds to the operational expenses of using temperature-controlled packaging solutions.
