Due to an increase in the number of cold chain facilities in developed and developing countries. Moreover, the rise in the adoption of processed food products, and technological advancements in packaging and storage are the major factors that are driving the growth of the market over the forecast years. The term "cold chain" refers to a system that combines temperature-controlled surface transportation with a supply chain. It refers to the freezing solutions used to keep things including fresh agricultural produce, seafood, frozen food, photographic film, chemicals, and pharmaceutical in good condition and with a long shelf life. Cold chains are critical for increasing the shelf life of products, minimizing overcapacity, decreasing transportation bottlenecks during peak periods, and ensuring product quality.
Over the projected period, the industry is expected to develop because of the increasing penetration of connected devices and the automation of refrigerated warehouses around the world. Increased demand for cold chain solutions is being driven by an expansion in the number of organized retail establishments in emerging economies. Furthermore, over the projected period, trade liberalization, government measures to reduce food waste, and multinational company expansion of retail chains are likely to drive sector growth. The World Trade Organization (WTO) and bilateral free trade agreements, such as the European Union Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), have allowed exporters in the United States and Europe to grow perishable food trade while avoiding import tariffs.
