全球可重复使用冰块市场评估:依材料、包装、应用、通路、地区、机会、预测(2017-2031)Reusable Ice Cubes Market Assessment, By Material, By Packaging, By Application, By Distribution Channel, By Region, Opportunities and Forecast, 2017-2031F |
全球可重复使用冰块市场规模预计将从 2023 年的 3.512 亿美元增至 2031 年的 6.6709 亿美元,预计 2024-2031 年的复合年增长率为 8.35%。市场的主要成长动力是其不融化的特性,与传统的冰块不同,它提供了从第一口到最后一口饮料的标准化和一致的味道。在饮料中添加可重复使用的冰块可以让您在不影响味道的情况下冷却它们。
可重复使用的冰块为消费者提供了一种快速解决方案,无需在冰块托盘中註满水并等待长时间冻结。然而,可重复使用的冰块是由化学物质和塑胶等有害物质配製而成,这可能会限制市场的成长。出于这种担忧,製造商正在推出采用水凝胶和不銹钢等更安全材料设计的可重复使用的冰块,以解决这个问题并巩固其市场地位。
製造商正在开发各种材料和设计的创新可重复使用冰块。它们由填充纯净水或无毒凝胶的实心或空心立方体组成,有助于冷却和保持饮料的温度,而不会出现稀释问题。可重复使用的冰块中最基本和最常用的成分是硅胶,它比普通冰块能让您的饮料保持更长时间的热度。这种类型的可重复使用的冰块有可能洩漏到饮料中,因此消费者的偏好已转向由不銹钢等无害材料製成的固体可重复使用的冰块。
可重复使用的冰块主要用于食品和饮料业来冷却饮料。此外,由于不銹钢可重复使用冰块的卫生特性和耐用性,消费者将其视为优质选择。其他材料,如塑胶和硅胶,由于价格便宜且不耐用,属于大众市场类别。
可冷冻水凝胶的出现
可重复使用的冰块对消费者来说是一种可持续、多功能、经济且方便的选择。
我们已经进行了研究,以开发更新、更具创新性的可重复使用的冰块,例如由水凝胶和水凝胶製成的果冻冰块。水凝胶是可生物降解的,可以冷冻并重复使用,有助于节约用水。可冷冻水凝胶还可以堆肥,还可以促进植物生长。
与普通冰一样,水凝胶冰袋也是水,使其成为冰的有效替代品。它具有与普通冰相同的冷却效果。例如,研究发现,当两种类型的冰都添加到样品中时,50分钟后,用普通冰冷却的样品温度为3.4℃,而用果冻冰冷却的样品温度为4.4℃。这样,果冻冰与普通冰一样有效,但比后者更可持续。
永续发展势头强劲
可重复使用的冰块比普通冰块更永续,因为不存在处置问题。此外,这些可重复使用的冰块可以帮助减少水消耗并解决某些地方饮用水有限的问题。除此之外,市场上还有一次性塑胶冰块。因此,可重复使用的冰块可以帮助消费者避免消费塑胶冰块并寻求更永续的选择。
此外,领先公司与永续发展目标相关的创新,例如使用环保包装和包含回收材料,正在引起具有环保意识的消费者的共鸣,可重复使用的塑胶冰块正在推动可重复使用冰的成长立方体市场作为替代和永续的选择。可重复使用的冰块是一种经济的选择,因为消费者可以一次又一次地清洁和重复使用它们,从而消除了丢弃一次性冰块造成的浪费。
本报告研究和分析了全球可重复使用冰块市场,提供市场规模和预测、市场动态、主要参与者的现状和前景等。
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.
