Companies in the Ice Substitutes (Manufacturing) industry are involved in the production of products that can be used as a substitute for ice. These products are designed to keep items cool or frozen for extended periods of time, without the need for traditional ice. The industry includes a range of products, from gel packs and ice packs to dry ice and other chemical-based cooling agents. The primary customers for these products are businesses that require temperature-controlled shipping and storage, such as food and beverage companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and medical facilities.
