The global dry ice market is estimated to be valued at USD 1.67 Bn in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 2.79 Bn by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6% from 2025 to 2032. Dry ice is formed when carbon dioxide gas transitioned into solid phase under compressed and refrigerated conditions. At normal atmospheric pressure, dry ice sublimates at a temperature of -78.5 degree Celsius. Due to its ability to change directly from solid to gaseous phase without transitioning through liquid phase, dry ice plays a crucial part across industries like food & beverage, medical, and industrial application. The global dry ice market has witnessed significant growth in the past few years owing to increasing demand from transportation & logistics, food & beverage, and other industrial sectors. Its non-sticky nature and low temperature properties make it suitable for applications requiring freezing or cooling with no residue.

Market Dynamics:

The global dry ice market is driven by factors such as growing demand from food & beverage industry for freezing, cooling, and preservation of perishable products during transportation. Dry ice helps maintain freshness and hygiene of food items and does not leave any liquid residue. It extends the product’s shelf life significantly. Moreover, increasing adoption of dry ice in healthcare & biomedical industries for temperature-sensitive package such as medicines, organs, and vaccines during shipping is bolstering market growth. However, stringent safety norms pertaining to dry ice handling due to risk of frostbite and asphyxiation may hinder the market expansion. On the positive side, growing applications of dry ice in entertainment industry for special effects and fog machines presents new opportunities.
