What are the key forces behind the gel ice pack market’s growth in recent years?
The increasing use of ice packs in chronic pain is expected to propel the growth of the gel ice packs market going forward. Chronic pain cases are increasing due to factors such as an aging population, sedentary lifestyles, obesity, and the rising prevalence of conditions like arthritis and diabetes. Gel ice packs are useful in managing chronic pain by reducing inflammation, numbing painful areas, and alleviating discomfort through localized cooling therapy. For instance, in August 2023, according to the US Pain Foundation, a US-based nonprofit organization dedicated to serving people with chronic pain, nearly 21% of the U.S. population, or 51.6 million adults, experienced chronic pain, which is pain persisting for over three months. Among them, 17.1 million suffer from high-impact chronic pain, significantly limiting their ability to work or engage in daily activities. Therefore, increasing use of ice packs in chronic pain is driving the growth of the gel ice packs market.
