They are usually made with interior and exterior shells of plastic, with a hard foam in between. They come in sizes from small personal ones to large family ones with wheels.

The cooler has developed from just a means of keeping beverages cold into a mode of transportation with the ride-on cooler. A thermal bag or cooler bag is very similar in concept, but typically smaller and not rigid.

Camping is on the rise across the world, and especially more in developed regions, where rising income levels and changing trends have made many people venture out either solo, or in groups. Camping and camp related activities tend to surge in the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere, primarily due to amenable weather conditions that the season brings. Also, in northern European countries, especially in Scandinavian and surrounding regions, summer is the only time when it is safe to spend overnight hours outside, as temperatures tend to remain chilly for most of the year. The recent high summer temperatures and sultry conditions in Europe and North America has spurred camping and hiking activities in these parts. To stay hydrated, most families and campers tend to carry ice-coolers to keep their drinks chilled. Beach holidays are also on the rise during the summer months, and chilled drinks call for affordable ice coolers to be readily available. These unique industry trends will further spur industry growth for ice chests and coolers.
