Global Refrigerated Warehousing Market Size Study & Forecast, by Type (Private & Semi-Private, Public), by Temperature Range, by Application (Food & Beverages, Pharmaceuticals) and Regional Forecasts 2025-2035

Refrigerated warehousing, once a silent pillar in the food logistics chain, has rapidly evolved into a cornerstone of modern supply chains—propelled by surging demands for perishable food preservation, pharmaceutical cold chains, and e-commerce logistics. The Global Refrigerated Warehousing Market is valued at approximately USD 118.01 billion in 2024 and is poised to grow at a stellar compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.80% from 2025 to 2035. From frozen vegetables to temperature-sensitive vaccines, the critical role of refrigerated storage is being reinforced daily, especially as global trade dynamics and stringent food safety regulations necessitate flawless cold chain execution.

As globalization sweeps across food systems and pharmaceutical logistics, companies are increasingly investing in robust refrigerated infrastructure to keep up with perishable product movement, reduce spoilage, and extend shelf life. The proliferation of consumer demand for fresh, organic, and frozen foods has become a major growth enabler, urging companies to integrate smart warehouse technologies. These next-generation facilities are now leveraging AI-driven inventory systems, automated storage & retrieval solutions (ASRS), and temperature monitoring IoT devices to enhance precision, reduce energy consumption, and improve operational resilience. Furthermore, the expansion of online grocery platforms and rising pharmaceutical cold storage needs—especially for biologics and temperature-sensitive COVID-19 vaccines—are creating new avenues of opportunity for the refrigerated warehousing sector globally.

Regionally, North America continues to assert its dominance in the refrigerated warehousing market, owing to its mature food logistics infrastructure, large-scale retail networks, and rapid adoption of automation technologies. The U.S., in particular, exhibits high penetration of cold storage solutions driven by rising frozen food demand and healthcare advancements. Europe follows closely, with a strong emphasis on sustainable warehousing practices and regulatory compliance for food safety. However, it is the Asia-Pacific region that is showcasing exponential momentum, led by rapid urbanization, growing middle-class incomes, and dietary transitions in countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asia. The increasing prevalence of quick commerce, government initiatives supporting food safety standards, and rising cold chain investments are collectively propelling Asia-Pacific to become the fastest-growing refrigerated warehousing hub.
