Analyst Review
Portable mini fridge is a compact size fridge that can be carried around virtually anywhere. It is often used to keep food and drinks cool for extended period of time.
Based on the interviews of various top-level CXOs of leading companies, the trend of consuming cooked food has been prevalent over the years. This trend is particularly common with working professionals who are concerned about health and want to avoid processed or packaged meals. Cooked meals are perishable, which means they have small shelf life owing to negligible amounts of preservatives used. This has encouraged people to find ways to keep cooked meals fresh for longer period of time, which has paved the way for portable mini fridge, thereby supplementing the growth of the portable mini fridge market. Moreover, factors such as high demand for cooling in commercial vehicles and the augmented features such as portability and requirement of less space also drive the global market.
However, high cost and low penetration of RVs and large luxury vehicles in the emerging nation affect the growth of the portable mini fridge industry.
