    • A very delayed reply. Yes, ice manufacturers and wholesalers are seeing growth in their markets. I’ll send you an e-mail with links to some specific Bureau of Census reports on this industry.

      The Census Bureau puts out a great deal of very detailed information about which not nearly enough is known and therefore it gets used less than it could be the general public. Do follow the links I will send via e-mail.

  2. I am currently looking at introducing an Ice Vending Machine into the Canadian Market. I am interested in any current information regarding the size of the Packaged Ice Market and any information on market trends.
    I look forward to your response.
