Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The increasing popularity of outdoor activities is the key factor driving the growth of the market. The global portable cooler market is growing rapidly, mainly due to the increasing popularity of outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and picnicking. Consumers are looking for portable coolers to keep food and drinks fresh and cold and enhance their outdoor experience.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for portable coolers as people seek safer outdoor recreation options. Therefore, manufacturers are responding with innovative and feature-rich coolers tailored to the specific needs of outdoor enthusiasts, driving the global portable cooler market to grow significantly during the forecast period.
The growing trend of customization is the primary trend shaping the growth of the market. The rapid development of portable coolers and increasing competition in the market have forced providers to focus on strategies such as faster delivery processes, mass customization, and personalization. Mass customization and personalization are gradually gaining momentum in the global portable cooler market, mainly due to technological advances, additional features and equipment, shapes, sizes, colors, etc.
Additionally, the increased participation in outdoor activities coupled with the increased visibility of special sporting events has increased the demand for customized portable coolers. Hence, increasing focus on portable coolers customized as per customer activities and requirements is expected to drive the growth of the global portable cooler market during the forecast period.
A long product life cycle is a challenge that affects the growth of the market. Portable coolers from top-quality brands don't need to be replaced often. Major companies operating in the US and other parts of North America must comply with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) safety standards and other quality-related standards. Therefore, by adhering to these standards, portable cooler manufacturers produce high-quality products with long replacement cycles.
Moreover, high acquisition costs and long replacement cycles impact the market growth. Leading portable cooler players offer product guarantees and warranties to further extend the life of their products. Therefore, the long replacement cycle limits the frequent sales of portable coolers, thereby hindering the growth of the global portable coolers market during the forecast period.
