news-details

According to the latest market intelligence research report by InsightAce Analytic, the food cold chain market size was valued at US$ 408.72 Billion in 2021, and it is expected to reach US$ 809.39 billion in 2030, record a promising CAGR of 8.21% from 2022 to 2030.

The process of regulating the temperature of perishable goods from the point of origin to the final customer to assure quality and safety is known as the “cold chain” in the food industry. It ensures that perishable commodities are safe and of the highest calibre when they are delivered to the consumer. The prevalence of cold and frozen products in our lives is growing daily due to the quickening speed of life, modifications in consumer habits, and convenience of use. From manufacturing to the final consumer, a sizable portion of food and medications are transported through the cold chain approach. Cold chains are essential for extending marketing periods, avoiding overcapacity, minimizing transit bottlenecks during peak hours, and preserving product quality. Products are distributed using cold-insulated transport trucks and temperature-controlled warehouses for storage.

The growth of the market is expected to be driven by the automation of refrigerated warehouses and the increasing prevalence of connected devices. The demand for cold chain solutions will increase as organized retail outlets proliferate in emerging economies. Additionally, over the course of the projected period, sector growth is anticipated to be aided by liberalization, government initiatives to reduce food waste, and the expansion of retail chains by international corporations. Cold chain operations have significantly increased as a result of the rise in perishable product demand and the requirement for speedy delivery related to the e-commerce-based food and beverage delivery business.

The pandemic had a positive impact on the food cold chain industry, driving up demand for cold chain facilities. The extension of the cold chain in the food industry is encouraged by the rising popularity of packaged food and drink products. Due to the pandemic’s restrictions on trade, COVID-19 affected the supply chains of all sectors of business. In order to increase their shelf life, food producers are concentrating not only on the product itself but also on how it is stored, which is expected to drive the cold chain market.
