Restraint:
High prices of container:
Prices of stainless insulated container are high compared to plastic containers, which is expected to hamper growth global of stainless insulated container market in the near future. Stainless steel is more expensive to produce because of the addition of the variety of alloying elements, such as iron, chromium, nickel, manganese and copper. Manufacturers also add about 10% chromium to the steel as an added agent to provide corrosion resistance. According to MEPS International Ltd. in Dec 2022, steel prices in India increased compared to 2021.
