The soft coolers segment reached USD 260.4 million in 2025 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 13.1% during 2026-2035. Demand is being driven by evolving consumer preferences for compact, flexible, and easy-to-carry cooling solutions suited for short-duration recreational use. Design improvements are centered on comfort, durability, and resistance to external conditions, while visual appeal is increasingly influencing buying behavior.
The online sales segment held 47.7% share in 2025. Digital retail channels are expanding rapidly as buyers increasingly value convenience, product transparency, and delivery flexibility.
