Insulation material
is defined as a material or combination of different materials having
low thermal conductivity to resist the flow of heat. Thermal abuse is
the major concern faced during the transportation of temperature
sensible products; hence, most of the major industries such as food
and beverages, pharmaceutical, healthcare, chemicals, cosmetics,
etc., depend heavily on insulated materials for packaging. Products
from these industries may be subjected to extreme conditions (hot or
cold), vibration, and pressure during transportation. Hence, proper
packaging solutions are required in such cases to prevent spoilage
and maintain product specifications. Insulated
packaging is regarded as the optimum solution for keeping
products refrigerated, frozen, and warm, and for reducing the effects
of variable temperature.
The combined form of
packaging and type of insulation material determine its installation
method. Thermal conductivity (K) plays an important role while
selecting the insulation material. The lower the thermal
conductivity, the better the heat resistance (R), thereby resulting
in better insulation. Depending on the thermal conductivity, variety
of insulating materials are available for different temperature
ranges. Some of the most common insulated packaging materials include
Expanded Polystyrene Foam (EPS), Polyurethane (PUR) foam, insulating
cement, expanded silica, radiant barrier films, mineral fiber, etc.
The most widely used forms of insulated packaging include flexible
sheets, pre-formed shapes, box, bags, flexible blankets, rigid
boards, etc.
Insulated
Packaging Market: Drivers & Restraints
High disposable
income and increasing healthcare awareness among consumers has led to
the rise in global demand for Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) and
product safety, thereby driving the market growth further. Owing to
its value added applications in industries such as healthcare and
food & beverages, the market for fresh food packaging is expected
to create significant growth and investment opportunities for players
operating in the market, especially in the developing countries. The
main growth drivers for the market are private consumers, retailers,
and local packaging firms, which focus more on delivering the product
intact in the local market.
