According to the UnivDatos, urbanization, lifestyle changes, and growing demand for packaged fresh food drive the rigid chilled food packaging market. As per their “Rigid chilled food packaging Market” report, the global market was valued at USD 25.4 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of about 6.5% during the forecast period from 2024 - 2032 to reach USD billion by 2032.

Rigid chilled food packaging refers to a durable as well as inflexible packaging solution that protects perishable foods by maintaining them at temperatures between 0°C to 5°C. Market leaders commonly select rigid packaging to protect ready-to-eat meals, such as dairy products, meats, salads, and desserts against spoilage. Rigid food packaging utilizes materials like polypropylene, PET, glass, and aluminum to preserve product structure thus, protecting chilled foods against leaks, contamination, and spoilage during delivery and storage. The long-lasting shelf life of chilled foods relies on rigid packaging because it creates unbreakable moisture-blocking protection that stops microbial activity. Lightweight materials act as a sustainable option for efficient packaging systems to enhance convenience and sustainability.

Increasing demand for ready-to-eat food is driving high demand in North America

The rigid chilled food packaging market in North America experiences rapid growth because consumers increasingly choose easy-to-prepare and ready-to-eat foods. In the current fast-paced life, consumers rarely get enough time for meal preparation, so they seek easy-to-prepare quick and healthy meals that can match their current lifestyle. The US and Canada show rising packaged chilled food purchases reflecting higher consumption of packaged food items such as ready-to-eat meals, salads, sandwiches, dairy items, and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. Rigid packaging consisting of containers, trays, and jars protects perishable products from damage as they move through the complete supply chain process starting from production, and storage to distribution and retail. The packaging solutions work to prolong shelf-life by maintaining both product flavor quality and textural integrity as this affects consumer satisfaction rates. Additionally, growing e-commerce grocery operations and home delivery services in North America require reliable packaging solutions, which can provide safe shipments and preserve product quality during the distribution process. All these factors are positively impacting the North America rigid chilled food packaging industry.

Development of cold chain logistics in the United States

Cold chain logistics development emerges as the primary catalyst driving rigid chilled food packaging market expansion throughout the United States. The rising market demand for perishable foods necessitates robust cold supply systems because they sustain product quality and safety throughout the distribution process from manufacturing to supplying to end-users. The United States has heavily increased its funding to upgrade its cold storage facilities, transportation, and temperature-controlled logistics system. Moreover, the expansion of the supply chain demands greater emphasis on resilient packaging technology that can maintain temperature control systems throughout the distribution channels. Therefore, the U.S. rigid chilled food packaging market growth is expected to be driven by increasing customer demand for fresh high-quality perishable food with extended shelf life, coupled with advanced packaging solutions that can fulfill the cold chain logistics requirements.

The rising focus on sustainability is driving high demand in Canada

Canada's rising focus on sustainability and environmental practices acts as the main driving force for rigid chilled food packaging market growth. Canadian consumers prefer sustainability by demanding packing solutions that are biodegradable, can be recycled, and are made up of sustainable materials. Strict environmental regulations by the government to promote sustainable food packaging have positively influenced manufacturers to focus on rigid packaging solutions that meet these standards. The packaging industry is promoting bioplastics, and recyclable glass solutions because they satisfy consumer preferences while allowing brands to decrease their environmental impact. The strict Canadian norms for food quality and safety demand reliable rigid packaging as it protects perishable food from deterioration, thus, flourishing the growth of the rigid chilled food packaging market in Canada.
