This is being driven by economic growth, rising population, and rapid urbanization. By 2024, an additional 10,000 km of rail line will be added, and multimodal hubs will be built to meet the demand for road-rail and sea-air connectivity.
Challenges Faced by KSA Cold Chain Market: The Cold Chain Industry in Saudi Arabia faces challenges due to the concentration of cold chain facilities in the cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. All the products are transported to different regions in the country from the cold storage warehouses located in these cities which act as distribution centers. This causes delays in the process as it increases the time for cold transport. Cooler and freezer doors that are damaged are one of the most common problems cold storage facilities face. Due to extreme weather conditions, moving cold chain commodities within KSA always bears a higher risk. Transportation in KSA is exposed to very high freight cost in comparison to other SEA countries which is even higher for Cold transportation.
