Global Retail Cooler Market Insights

Retail Cooler Market size was valued at USD 1.50 billion in 2021 and is poised to grow from USD 1.53 billion in 2022 to 3.15 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.6% in the forecast period (2023-2030).

The market is being driven by an increase in the popularity of outdoor recreational activities such as off-roading and hiking among travellers. Also, new manufacturing technologies for lightweight chillers that can hold ice for an extended period of time will contribute to market growth in the near future. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 epidemic has hampered industry expansion. With the COVID-19 pandemic, customers are ready to spend more time in nature by participating in activities like as hiking, camping, fishing, boating, and cycling, which is increasing market demand for retail coolers. According to the Outdoor Industries Association, for example, during the COVID-19 period, Americans began new activities such as hiking, walking, and running.

Furthermore, polystyrene coolers are viewed unfavorably because the majority of the material's products are discarded in landfills. Polystyrene products can take up a disproportionate amount of volume in a landfill due to their bulkiness. Polystyrene coolers disintegrate fully after about 500 years. Polystyrene is made up of multiple units of styrene, which the Department of Health and Human Services and the International Agency for Research on Cancer think is carcinogenic.

US Retail Cooler Market is poised to grow at sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.
