DRY ICE MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

Solid carbon dioxide at a temperature of roughly -78.5°C is known as dry ice. It is created through a process known as sublimation, which involves compressing and chilling gaseous carbon dioxide until it solidifies without going through the liquid phase. Because of its extremely low temperature, it is frequently employed as a chilling agent in a variety of applications, including the preservation of perishable products during shipping, the creation of special effects in the entertainment industry, and laboratory research.

Food can be preserved by freeze-drying it without the need for water, or by freezing it at extremely low temperatures using dry ice, which increases its shelf life. Foodstuffs can also be kept chilled with dry ice, for example, in aircraft without refrigeration equipment. Compared to ice, dry ice is far colder, stays colder longer, and doesn't melt. These characteristics make them perfect for the transportation of medicinal goods, including vaccinations, which must be stored at extremely low temperatures in order to preserve their effectiveness.

Additionally, during storage, biological materials like blood and tissue must be maintained at extremely low temperatures. It can keep the cold chain, protecting food and pharmaceutical products' freshness and quality. In addition to its employment in electronics and other manufacturing-related industries, dry ice is also utilized in industrial cleaning procedures to remove leftover moisture and disassemble machinery or equipment.

DRIVING FACTORS:

The growing cold chain logistic sector contributes to market expansion.

In order to preserve the quality and integrity of temperature-sensitive goods including food, medications, and biologics, cold chain logistics entails moving and storing them in a controlled environment. In this operation, dry ice is essential because it offers a dependable and economical way to maintain goods at the proper temperature range while in transit. The cold chain logistics sector has grown as a result of increased trade globalization and rising consumer demand for frozen foods and perishables. The necessity for effective and dependable cold chain solutions to guarantee the prompt and safe delivery of items to customers has increased with the growth of e-commerce and the popularity of fresh and frozen food delivery services.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

The CO2 supply and price volatility could restrict the market growth.

Seasonal variations, supply chain disruptions, and demand fluctuations from these industries all affect the availability of CO2 feedstock for the manufacturing of dry ice. For instance, the amount of CO2 accessible for dry ice manufacturing could be limited during times of high demand in industry use.

Market Segmentation

The dry ice market share is classified into type and application.

The pellets segment held the majority of the share in the market over the forecast period.

Based on type, the dry ice market is classified into pellets, blocks, and others. It's easy to see how the technique used to produce dry ice pellets for food chilling and other purposes works. With the use of a pelletizer, dry ice pellets are made. This device generates dry ice snow, compresses it, and then packages it for delivery to businesses in need of dry ice (such as those that require dry ice for food refrigeration). A variety of diameters for the pellets can be manufactured, based on the size needed for the intended use. To achieve this, extruder plates are fitted with dies of varying diameters. Dry ice pellets can also be used with a variety of different products. For instance, anyone who uses dry ice pellets—including those who need to utilize dry ice to cool food—needs pellet storage systems. Moreover, while dry ice pellets can be made from recycled carbon dioxide and do not generate damaging greenhouse gases, many industries are choosing to employ them over traditional cooling methods as a result of increased environmental consciousness. Innovations in manufacturing technology have also improved the quality and productivity of dry ice pellet manufacture, increasing their availability and affordability for commercial use.

The food and beverages segment has the greatest share of the market during the forecast period.

Based on application, the dry ice market is classified into food and beverages, storage and transportation, healthcare, industrial cleaning, and others. For cold delivery of products in the food and beverage business, dry ice is the ideal solution. Dry ice can maintain the finest quality of frozen foods since it is much colder than conventional freezer ice, with freezing temperatures as low as -109° F. Dry ice also doesn't melt. Rather, it gradually turns into gas, which makes it the perfect option for transporting goods that are sensitive to temperature and need to be kept cold for extended periods of time. Foods that are frozen or cooled can be reliably transported over great distances without losing their nutritional value in the presence of dry ice. Moreover, dry ice has become a popular option for many food and beverage firms due to the growing emphasis on food safety standards and the need to minimize food waste.
