Description

Definition and Scope:

Cold chain logistics integrates refrigerated transportation, temperature‑controlled warehousing, monitoring technologies, and handling processes to maintain specific temperature ranges — from chilled to deep‑frozen conditions — thereby minimizing spoilage, extending shelf life, and ensuring compliance with food safety and drug distribution standards. This network of refrigerated assets and digital tracking solutions plays an increasingly critical role in global supply chains as demand for fresh and frozen products rises alongside the expanding pharmaceutical market, driven by vaccines, biologics, and complex therapies that require precise thermal conditions.

The global cold chain logistics market is poised for significant growth, starting at USD 556.54 Billion in 2026 and projected to reach USD 2035 Billion by 2035 with a CAGR of 15.5% from 2026 to 2035. This trajectory is driven by deep structural shifts: consumer preference for fresh and frozen foods has grown with urbanization and rising incomes, requiring more temperature controlled movements; pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chains are expanding rapidly with vaccines, mRNA therapies and biologics taking on a larger share of global drug production and distribution; digitalization and visibility technologies such as IoT sensors, cloud logistics platforms, and automation are enhancing operational efficiency and reducing wastage; and e commerce and direct to consumer grocery delivery models are increasing the complexity and last mile demands on cold logistics networks, prompting firms to invest in agile, technology driven cold chain capacities.
