The pandemic has created a positive impact on the cold chain industry, resulting in fuelling the demand for cold chain warehousing. The increasing adoption rate of packaged food & beverage products is considered a key driver in the growth of the cold chain in the food industry. The COVID-19 affected the supply chain of every industry due to restricted trade during the pandemic, resulting in food manufactures to emphasize not only on the food products but also on their storage to increase their shelf-life, which is expected to propel the market for the cold chain. The outbreak of COVID-19 has created a shift toward an organized retail market for preventing any further virus outbreaks. As the pandemic crisis intensified, countries across the world started imposing lockdown. Due to these factors, people started stocking up on consumer staples. Consumer’s compulsive behaviour pressured the 3PLs for faster stock turn and larger volume shipments. These developments underscore the need for the food value chain to move from open-air markets to a cold-chain model that keeps perishable items for longer duration. These factors are expected to propel the demand for cold chain during the forecast period.
Consumers are now more aware of health and wellness, as well as the effect that food nutrients, especially protein, have on overall physical and mental growth and development. This has resulted in a change in the consumption pattern of perishable foods, such as dairy products, fruits and vegetables, and high-protein animal-based products (such as meat, eggs, and fish and seafood).
Emerging economies in the Asia Pacific and Latin America are seeing a high demand for perishable food products. This can be attributed to the rapid urbanization, changing tastes and preferences, and the rising disposable income of consumers in these countries. The market potential for processed and frozen food products is also high in these countries due to their lower adoption rates. The consumption of ready-to-eat meals, such as frozen pizzas, desserts, and snacks, is rising steadily in these countries. The frozen foods market requires an effective cold storage system so that the chemical composition of food items stays intact even after several months. With the increased international trade of these foods products, the demand for cold storage systems is expected to increase in the coming years.
In the food industry, a major focus for manufacturers, retailers, and consumers is to ensure food quality and safety by preventing premature expiry, decay, and spoilage. To achieve this, it has become necessary for service providers to invest in modern cold storage facilities, advanced vehicles, and system technologies. However, high energy costs are a growing concern for cold chain providers (energy costs are exceptionally high in North America and Europe). Refrigerated storage facilities use traditional fluorescent light fixtures, which are switched on throughout the year as it is mandatory under regulations. Governments of numerous countries have been attempting to bolster the infrastructure investment of the cold chain, pre-cooling facilities, refrigerated storage and transport, packaging, and information management systems. Fuel costs and efficient management of fuel consumption are some of the other major concerns for cold chain providers, as the requirement of refrigerated vehicles in cold chains, especially in North America and Europe, has increased over the last few years. On the other hand, emerging economies are facing different issues while operating cold chains. The annual operating costs for cold chain businesses are much higher per cubic feet.
The development of retail channels and chains in the form of supermarkets, hypermarkets, and convenience stores is a major factor driving the growth of the cold chain market. Also, retail chains have developed to an extent where some of the producers have their own in-house refrigerated warehousing facilities. Large food retail chains such as Walmart, Tesco, Spar, and 7-Eleven are expanding their outlets in developed countries such as the UK, Germany, and the US, and in emerging markets such as China, Brazil, and Argentina. For instance, Walmart is the largest American multinational retail corporation with over 11,000 stores across 27 countries. It has a large fleet for the transportation of perishable goods and an effective distribution network. It also hires 3PL refrigerated warehousing service providers to transport perishable foods to its retail outlets efficiently. The emergence of such large retailers and their expanding operations in international trade are creating growth opportunities for the refrigerated warehousing and refrigerated transportation market. Governments in many nations are taking initiatives to reduce food and agricultural waste by framing food wastage policies and supporting food-related industries, such as the cold chain industry.
The cold chain industry is highly fragmented, mainly in the emerging markets across Asia, Africa, and South America. Cold chain service providers in these regions do not have the resources or the technology needed to build high-quality cold chain facilities. Lack of proper food storage, processing, and cold chain logistics, together with the weak organization and implementation of controls for compliance with standards, remains a serious challenge in these countries. From procurement to delivery at retail, cold chain service providers face many challenges in a cold chain network. Countries in Asia Pacific and South America lack efficient transport infrastructure and are not well connected. The missing links in these networks continue to constrain route choice, while insufficient capacity and the poor quality of infrastructure add costs and time to the transit. The cold chain systems in these markets are not integrated and compatible for use for multiple perishable commodities, which poses a major challenge to market growth.
Chilled products going through the cold chain involves chilling the products by reducing the food temperatures to below ambient temperatures, but above –1°C. Chilling food products between 0°C to +5°C is an effective tool for preserving food for shorter durations. It is because it retards many of the microbial, physical, chemical, and biochemical reactions that lead to food spoilage and deterioration. The use of chilling to slow down the rate of growth of microorganisms reduces food spoilage and improves food safety and quality. The Asia Pacific region is the dominant market for chilled cold chain, with a share of 31.5 % in 2019.
The prime concern with transporting dairy and frozen desserts is constant temperature control, dust, and exposure to sunlight. Cold chain transportation services help overcome these problems by ensuring low temperatures (-18°C to 4°C) or (-0.4°F to 39.2°F) to extend their shelf-life. Milk and dairy products have been associated with foodborne illnesses for centuries. They are one of the most regulated foods. Cold chain logistics are essential for maintaining the quality of dairy products. The cold chain ensures that low temperature is maintained, as required by dairy products, throughout the supply chain.

What are some of the drivers fuelling the growth of the cold chain market?
Global cold chain market is characterized by the following drivers
Consumers are now more aware of health and wellness, as well as the effect that food nutrients, especially protein, have on overall physical and mental growth and development. This has resulted in a change in the consumption pattern of perishable foods, such as dairy products, fruits and vegetables, and high-protein animal-based products (such as meat, eggs, and fish and seafood).
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. For example, India, which is the world’s second-largest market with ~150 million cubic meters of refrigerated storage capacity, wastes about 18% of fruits & vegetables on an annual basis due to the lack of post-harvest storage infrastructure.
