Drivers and Opportunities:
Increasing need for temperature control to prevent food loss and potential health hazards
Food security, food safety, economic and environmental sustainability, and minimal food waste are major focus areas in the food industry. Food loss and waste are caused due to various reasons. For instance, perishable products are often exposed to fluctuating temperatures during transit and handling, which results in food spoilage and wastage. To overcome this, the demand for refrigerated storage and transportation services has increased across the globe. According to UNEP 2021, an estimated 17% of total food produced for human consumption is wasted, costing the world economy USD 936 billion each year. Food loss is caused by the absence of cold chains during food processing, packaging, distribution, and consumption. According to the International Institute of Refrigeration 2021, a lack of proper refrigeration directly led in a loss of 526 million tons of food production, or 12% of total global production.
Government support for cold chain infrastructure development
Governments in many nations are taking steps to reduce food and agricultural waste by developing food waste regulations and promoting food-related sectors such as the cold chain industry. In many countries, however, there is still a gap between food production and cold storage capacity. For example, India is the world’s largest producer of milk and the second-largest producer of fruits and vegetables. But still, a lack of reliable, integrated cold chain facilities leads to significant food waste across the country.

Segments:
The frozen segment by temperature type is estimated to account for the largest market share in the global Cold chain market.
The food industry is a major driver of the frozen segment in the cold chain market. The demand for frozen foods is increasing due to their longer shelf life, convenience, and ease of preparation. Frozen foods are also less prone to spoilage during transportation and storage, which makes them ideal for long-distance transportation. The growing demand for frozen products and the need for strict temperature control during transportation and storage are driving the frozen segment of the cold chain market. With the increasing demand for frozen food, pharmaceuticals, and other products, the demand for cold chain logistics services for the frozen segment is expected to continue to grow in the coming years.
