Growing Demand from End Users: The cold chain market is expected to be fueled by increasing demand for temperature-controlled products in the country, the entry of several new players, and government initiatives and programs. With the growth of QSRs, last-mile delivery growth has also risen but many issues are prevalent such as dry ice being used by retail shops to deliver the product to end users.
3PL to Dominate the Cold Chain Market: Many manufacturers will choose to outsource their cold storage from third-party logistics companies because cold storage requires large investments. Also, as the demand for transporting refrigerated products is increasing, so will the demand for value-added services such as repackaging and consolidation, which increases the demand for 3PLs in the country. The end users like Pharma and processed foods choose 3PL over storage/transportation, therefore a 3PL can offer customized warehouses based on customer needs.
Adopting Automation and Modern Technologies: Technological advancement is expected to play a major role and new facilities are being built to improve the efficiency of food supply storage and distribution. In the cold chain business, portable machines known as Automated Guided Vehicles are used for transporting raw materials, works-in-progress, and finished goods around the warehouse. The adoption of new and advanced technologies like WMS, automation, the Internet of Things, etc. will take the cold storage business to new heights. Drones will soon be used by several warehouses to track their inventories.
