The India Cold Chain Logistics Market is anticipated to register a high CAGR during the
forecast period. The expansion of industries such as organized retail,
processed food, medicines, and a rising inclination toward horticulture, among
others, has increased the need for cold chains.
Supply-chain management and temperature-controlled
ground transportation are both included in the cold chain. "Cold chain
logistics" refers to the freezing procedures necessary to preserve the
quality and shelf life of goods. For instance, fresh produce, seafood, frozen
dinners, photographic film, chemicals, and pharmaceutical medications. Cold
chains are crucial for increasing the shelf life of products, preventing
overcapacity, minimising transportation bottlenecks during busy times, and
guaranteeing product quality. Both cold-insulated transport vehicles and
temperature-controlled storage facilities are used in the process to distribute
products. Products such as fruits, vegetables, meat, cattle, medications, and
other items are frequently delivered and preserved using cold chain logistics
techniques. Refrigerated trucks, railcars, air freight, and chilled cargo are
common modes of transportation. By paying farmers fair rates for their produce,
the cold chain sector is essential in reducing the wastage of perishable goods
and commodities. Cold chain logistics improve the effectiveness of
pharmaceuticals along the supply chain in the pharmaceutical business.
Development in Established Food Retail
The cold chain industry in India is
anticipated to be one of the most driven by organized retail. Expect consumers
to have access to a wide range of fresh produce, dairy products, meat and
poultry products, and other temperature-sensitive goods that require cold chain
storage and delivery as organized food retail expand. The majority of organized
retail organisations are aware that establishing a reliable cold chain
infrastructure is essential to effectively manage their supply chains.
