HIGH DEMAND FOR DRY ICE IN STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION
The transportation industry is growing rapidly and is also providing growth opportunities to the product shipping activities, this propels the dry ice market growth. With rising long transportation trips, grocery stores and the healthcare industry are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the dry ice market in the coming years. The growing demand for dry ice as a refrigerant in the food and transportation industries is driving the growth of the global dry ice market. Dry ice transport is used to maintain the cold chain as well as for the transport and refrigerated shipping of food, perishable goods, and pharmaceutical products.
Dry ice is crucial in food storage. Both restaurants and supermarkets use dry ice to keep food fresh in storage and for display in open containers for long periods of time. Dry ice helps to keep the food fresh for a long period and helps with the bacterial removal of mildew during food shipping. Food preparation and storage require strict regulations, and that is why dry ice has been playing a major role in commercial kitchens, restaurants, and supermarkets.
The airline industry also uses dry ice for in-flight catering, keeping food chilled or frozen until ready to serve. On-board aircrafts do not have any mechanical refrigeration, dry ice slices are used to preserve and maintain food temperatures within acceptable profiles. As the dry ice sublimes, it leaves no residue to contaminate or compromise the quality of food.
