Market Growth Factors

This growth is driven by increased demand for carrying fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, and seafood that rely on continuous refrigeration for the integrity and shelf-life of products. Temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals such as vaccines, biologics, insulin and other medications are also a meaningful contributor to the industry's growth; hospitals and the increasing distribution of vaccine are contributing to the global pharmaceutical cold chain. Fleet managers have adopted telematics, temperature monitoring, and artificial-intelligence-based routing technologies alongside investments in low-emission vehicles and sustainable refrigerants, which has enabled them to complete sustainable green logistics activities.

Pharmaceuticals and healthcare industry use products in the end because chronic disorders increasingly prevail and the population ages, with WHO expecting that 1 in 6 people will be aged 60 years or over by 2030. COVID-19 spread, which highlighted how people need refrigerated transportation they can rely upon with vaccines, medical supplies, temperature controls with precision in hospitals, pharmacies, and healthcare centers. This healthcare-related demand drives the growth of temperature-controlled logistics.

Electric and solar powered refrigerated transport is more energy efficient and less polluting than diesel. The use of smart technology is increasing, with temperature, humidity and vehicle location monitored in real time to limit spoilage and contamination. In 2024, the electric-field technology refrigerated ocean transport, developed first by Sumitomo and OOCL, is becoming a low-carbon technology for refrigerated ocean transport that extends the shelf life and quality in comparison to standard ocean transport, thereby reducing dependence on higher-cost air transport.
