Cold chain market size in China to grow at a CAGR of 19.1% from 2022 to 2027: Increasing number of trade corridors to drive growth - Technavio

NEW YORK , May 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The cold chain market size in China is estimated to grow by USD 76.48 billion during 2022-2027. However, the growth momentum will progress at a CAGR of 19.1%. The market is segmented by type (refrigerated warehouse and refrigerated transportation) and application (meat, fish, and seafood sector, dairy and frozen desserts sector, fruits and vegetables sector, healthcare sector, and bakery and confectionery sector). The refrigerated warehouse segment will account for a significant share of market growth. Refrigerated warehouses are generally used for storing perishable products, such as foods and medicines, at the right temperature. Warehouses or storage facilities consume a lot of energy. Hence, market players are investing in energy-efficient technologies, which is driving the growth of the segment. The increasing number of trade corridors is driving market growth. Trade corridors provide various economic benefits, such as creation, economic growth, reduction in poverty, and economic resilience. China is investing significantly in trade corridors to facilitate the movement of goods and commodities. With the increase in the number of trade corridors, the need for refrigerated transportation will increase. These factors will support market growth during the forecast period.
