The gel ice pack market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $10.66 billion in 2023 to $12.5 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2%. The growth observed in the past can be attributed to several factors include increased efforts in consumer education, a rising number of clinical trials verifying efficacy, higher rates of road accidents, growing popularity of fitness activities, and increased investments in research and development.
The gel ice pack market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.7 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to heightened consumer awareness regarding health and wellness, initiatives aimed at lowering manufacturing costs, the enhancement of distribution networks, the expansion of online retail platforms, and the growth of medical tourism. Key trends expected during this period encompass hybrid packs, integration of nanotechnology, development of biodegradable gel packs, incorporation of antimicrobial properties into gel materials, and adoption of carbon-neutral production processes.
The rising adoption of gel ice packs for chronic pain management is expected to drive growth in the market. Chronic pain cases are on the rise due to factors such as an aging population, sedentary lifestyles, obesity, and the increasing prevalence of conditions such as arthritis and diabetes. Gel ice packs play a crucial role in managing chronic pain by reducing inflammation, numbing painful areas, and providing relief through localized cooling therapy. For example, according to the April 2023 report from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 20.9% of U.S. adults (51.6 million people) reported experiencing chronic pain in 2021, with 6.9% (17.1 million people) experiencing high-impact chronic pain that significantly restricts daily activities. This growing use of ice packs for chronic pain management is therefore a major driver of the gel ice packs market's expansion.
Leading companies in the gel ice pack market are focusing on developing compostable gel packs to address environmental concerns and cater to the rising demand for sustainable packaging solutions. These compostable gel packs are eco-friendly cooling alternatives designed to decompose naturally, making them particularly suitable for sustainable shipping of perishable goods. For example, Pelton Shepherd Industries, a prominent U.S.-based provider of reliable cold chain shipping solutions, introduced Terra Ice in August 2022. Terra Ice represents a breakthrough as the first 100% compostable gel pack, crafted from BPI-certified compostable film and natural gelling agents. Unlike traditional gel packs, Terra Ice eliminates the need for pouch opening, recycling, or rinsing after use, offering a more convenient and sustainable disposal option. This innovation underscores a significant step towards reducing environmental impact in the gel ice pack market.
In December 2021, Ranpak Holdings, a packaging company headquartered in the United States, acquired Recycold Cool Solutions BV for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition bolsters Ranpak's sustainable thermal protection offerings by incorporating Recycold's environmentally friendly cool packs into its portfolio, thereby offering a unified solution for comprehensive cold chain packaging needs. Recycold Cool Solutions BV, based in the Netherlands, specializes in manufacturing eco-friendly cool packs, including biodegradable ice gel mailing pads.
