The dry ice market size was valued at US$ 587.68 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 936.90 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 6.0% from 2022 to 2030.
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide and is commonly used for temporary refrigeration as CO₂ does not have a liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure and sublimates directly from the solid state to the gas state. Dry ice is made by liquefying carbon dioxide and injecting it into a holding tank, where it’s frozen at a temperature of -109° F and compressed into solid ice. In recent years, consumers have increasingly preferred dry ice over water-based ice. The benefits provided by dry ice in the pharmaceutical, machine blasting cleaning, food preservation, and entertainment industries have led to an increased demand for dry ice over water-based ice which is driving the dry ice market growth. Dry ice has lower temperatures than water-based ice, which has led to an increased demand for dry ice for storage and transportation application.
Major factor contributing to the growing dry ice market size is the high demand for dry ice in storage and transportation. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), food loss and waste cause ~US$ 940 billion per year in economic losses. While 17% of the world's food is wasted at the consumption stage, 14% is lost during the distribution, handling, and storage stages. The FAO estimates that US$ 400 billion of perishable food is wasted annually, of which half is lost due to temperature changes. Dry ice, solid carbon dioxide (CO2) at extremely low temperatures, is used extensively as a refrigerant and cooling agent in the storage and transportation sector.
Based on type, the dry ice market is segmented into pellets, blocks, and others. In 2022, the blocks segment held the largest dry ice market share. The solid blocks of dry ice are commonly used for temporary refrigeration as carbon dioxide does not have a liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure and sublimates directly from the solid state to the gas state. Blocks of dry ice produced in block press. Blocks of dry ice are used in cleaning industrial equipment.
In 2022, Asia Pacific dominated the dry ice market, and it is expected to continue to lead the market during the forecast period. The Asia Pacific dry ice market has increased demand for temperature-controlled logistics and distribution services for life science products and pharmaceuticals. This demand is fueled by factors such as population growth, increasing healthcare spending, and the expansion of the pharmaceutical industry in the region. The growth of the pharmaceutical industry in the region is directly influencing the growth of the dry ice market. As part of initiatives like Healthy China 2030 and similar initiatives in other Asian countries, healthcare infrastructure investments have been made, including clinics, hospitals, and research facilities.
