全球可重複使用冰塊市場評估:依材料、包裝、應用、通路、地區、機會、預測(2017-2031)Reusable Ice Cubes Market Assessment, By Material, By Packaging, By Application, By Distribution Channel, By Region, Opportunities and Forecast, 2017-2031F |
全球可重複使用冰塊市場規模預計將從 2023 年的 3.512 億美元增至 2031 年的 6.6709 億美元,預計 2024-2031 年的複合年增長率為 8.35%。市場的主要成長動力是其不融化的特性,與傳統的冰塊不同,它提供了從第一口到最後一口飲料的標準化和一致的味道。在飲料中添加可重複使用的冰塊可以讓您在不影響味道的情況下冷卻它們。
可重複使用的冰塊為消費者提供了一種快速解決方案,無需在冰塊托盤中註滿水並等待長時間凍結。然而,可重複使用的冰塊是由化學物質和塑膠等有害物質配製而成,這可能會限制市場的成長。出於這種擔憂,製造商正在推出採用水凝膠和不銹鋼等更安全材料設計的可重複使用的冰塊,以解決這個問題並鞏固其市場地位。
製造商正在開發各種材料和設計的創新可重複使用冰塊。它們由填充純淨水或無毒凝膠的實心或空心立方體組成,有助於冷卻和保持飲料的溫度,而不會出現稀釋問題。可重複使用的冰塊中最基本和最常用的成分是矽膠,它比普通冰塊能讓您的飲料保持更長時間的熱度。這種類型的可重複使用的冰塊有可能洩漏到飲料中,因此消費者的偏好已轉向由不銹鋼等無害材料製成的固體可重複使用的冰塊。
可重複使用的冰塊主要用於食品和飲料業來冷卻飲料。此外,由於不銹鋼可重複使用冰塊的衛生特性和耐用性,消費者將其視為優質選擇。其他材料,如塑膠和矽膠,由於價格便宜且不耐用,屬於大眾市場類別。
可冷凍水凝膠的出現
可重複使用的冰塊對消費者來說是一種可持續、多功能、經濟且方便的選擇。
我們已經進行了研究,以開發更新、更具創新性的可重複使用的冰塊,例如由水凝膠和水凝膠製成的果凍冰塊。水凝膠是可生物降解的,可以冷凍並重複使用,有助於節約用水。可冷凍水凝膠還可以堆肥,還可以促進植物生長。
與普通冰一樣,水凝膠冰袋也是水,使其成為冰的有效替代品。它具有與普通冰相同的冷卻效果。例如,研究發現,當兩種類型的冰都添加到樣品中時,50分鐘後,用普通冰冷卻的樣品溫度為3.4℃,而用果凍冰冷卻的樣品溫度為4.4℃。這樣,果凍冰與普通冰一樣有效,但比後者更可持續。
永續發展勢頭強勁
可重複使用的冰塊比普通冰塊更永續,因為不存在處置問題。此外,這些可重複使用的冰塊可以幫助減少水消耗並解決某些地方飲用水有限的問題。除此之外,市場上還有一次性塑膠冰塊。因此,可重複使用的冰塊可以幫助消費者避免消費塑膠冰塊並尋求更永續的選擇。
此外,領先公司與永續發展目標相關的創新,例如使用環保包裝和包含回收材料,正在引起具有環保意識的消費者的共鳴,可重複使用的塑膠冰塊正在推動可重複使用冰的成長立方體市場作為替代和永續的選擇。可重複使用的冰塊是一種經濟的選擇,因為消費者可以一次又一次地清潔和重複使用它們,從而消除了丟棄一次性冰塊造成的浪費。
本報告研究和分析了全球可重複使用冰塊市場,提供市場規模和預測、市場動態、主要參與者的現狀和前景等。
Global reusable ice cubes market is projected to witness a CAGR of 8.35% during the forecast period 2024-2031, growing from USD 351.2 million in 2023 to USD 667.09 million in 2031. The major factor which drives the growth of the market is the non-melting property unlike the traditional ice cubes, providing a standardized and consistent taste in the drink from the first to the last sip. When the reusable ice cubes are added to the beverage, they help in cooling the beverage without affecting its flavor.
Reusable ice cubes serve as a quick solution for consumers, eliminating the need to fill the ice cube trays and wait long hours for them to freeze. However, the formulation of reusable ice cubes with chemical-based or other harmful materials like plastic may restrain the market's growth. In line with this concern, manufacturers are launching reusable ice cubes designed with safer materials, such as hydrogels and stainless steel, to address the problem and strengthen their position in the market.
Manufacturers have developed innovative reusable ice cubes with different materials and designs, comprising solid and hollow cubes filled with purified water or non-toxic gels, helping in cooling and maintaining the beverage's temperature without the problem of dilution of the drink. The most basic and commonly used ingredient in reusable ice cubes is silica gel, which keeps a beverage cooler longer than a regular ice cube. Since these types of reusable ice cubes can be risky for consumption due to leakage into the beverage, consumers are shifting their preferences towards solid reusable ice cubes made from non-toxic materials such as stainless steel.
Reusable ice cubes are mainly used in the food and beverage industry to cool beverages. Additionally, consumers associate stainless steel reusable ice cubes with a premium option due to their hygienic properties and durability. Other materials, such as plastic and silicone, fall into the mass category due to their cheaper price points and non-durability.
Advent of Freezable Hydrogels
Reusable ice cubes serve as a sustainable, versatile, economical, and convenient option for consumers since they can be washed and used multiple times before discarding them.
Research has been conducted to develop newer and innovative reusable ice cube solutions, such as jelly ice cubes, which are made of Hydrogel or water gel. These jelly ice cubes are a sustainable and eco-friendly option as hydrogel is biodegradable, can be frozen, and re-used multiple times which helps in saving water. These freezable hydrogels are even compostable and can boost the growth of plants as well.
It is an efficient alternative to ice, as just as regular ice, the cooling agent of the hydrogels is water. They provide a similar cooling effect to the ordinary ice. For instance, in the research it was observed that when both the ice cubes were added to a sample, after a duration of 50 minutes, the temperature of a regular ice cube cooled sample was 3.4 degrees Celsius while the sample cooled using jelly ice was 4.4 degrees Celsius. Thus, the jelly ice is as effective as an ordinary ice but is a sustainable option as compared to the latter.
Sustainability to Gain Momentum
Reusable ice cubes are a more sustainable option than regular ice cubes as they eliminate the problem of wastage. Additionally, these reusable ice cubes help in the reduction of water consumption and cater to the problem of limited access to drinking water in some places. Apart from that, there are various single-use disposable ice cube options available in the market, which are made up of plastic. Thus, the reusable ice cube helps consumers avoid the consumption of plastic ice cubes and demand more sustainable options.
Moreover, the innovations by the key players associated with the goal of sustainability, like using environmentally friendly packaging and incorporating recycled materials, resonate with eco-conscious consumers, fostering the growth of the reusable ice cube market as a sustainable alternative to the reusable plastic ice cube. Reusable ice cubes can be cleaned and reused by consumers multiple times, which makes them an economical option, eliminating the waste by the disposal of single-use ice cubes.
Manufacturers and researchers are experimenting with and introducing newer, more sustainable options in the reusable ice cube market to enhance consumers' experiences and supplement the market's growth.

Stainless Steel Reusable Ice Cube Contributing to the Trend
The stainless-steel ice cubes are expected to gain popularity in the forecast period as they cater to the premium audience and give a luxurious appeal to the consumers. Also, as stainless-steel ice cubes are durable, they are considered a reasonable alternative to other reusable ice cubes. They offer convenience in cleaning and are a hygienic option that ensures food safety. Unlike other materials, such as plastics, stainless steel, a non-porous material, is resistant to the growth of bacteria them, reducing the risk of contamination of the beverage.
Additionally, being a long-lasting and safe material option for reusable ice cubes, they provide superior cooling properties, increasing their advent among consumers seeking superior quality and sustainable alternatives to other reusable ice cubes. They can keep the beverages cooler for a longer duration without the problem of dilution of the drink or degradation of the material, making it a preferred choice.
Moreover, their non-toxic and non-reactive properties make them a preferred option for beverages such as wine and whiskey, which have a delicate taste, and any contamination leads to the alteration of their flavor profile. For instance, Qoolivin is offering reusable stainless steel ice stones for Scotch Whiskey, Wine, and other drinks.
