The logistic sector has been identified as the major sector which can contribute to the GDP of the country because of the strategic geographical location of Oman. With the development in the logistics sector and increase in the trade amount of goods with temperature dependent storage requirement, the demand for cold storage infrastructure have continued to prosper.

Early Stage Cold Chain Sector

Cold Chain sector in Oman is currently in its early growth stage however, there are limited players which provide cold chain services to varied end users such as meat, vegetables, dairy, poultry and pharmaceuticals. Cold storage capacity, which is generally measured in the number of pallets, stands at 400,000 as on December 2017 and looking at the focus of the government to make Oman a gateway to all the goods that arrive at GCC by developing the infrastructure and employing the latest technology,

Oman cold chain market is highly concentrated in nature and is at the nascent stage because of poor infrastructure, imperfect logistics system and low promotions. The major players in the country in the cold chain services include Agility Logistics, Al Madina Logistics, Enhance Oman, AL Khaleej Cold Store and ILS Logistics. Cold chain companies compete on various factors including the storage capacity, number of pallets, space, distribution network, number of clients, service verticals and others.

Compelling Potential with Growing End User Industries

Growth in end user industries for cold chain services such as pharmaceuticals, meat & seafood, frozen food and others have increased the demand for both cold transport and cold storage in the country. E-commerce industry has grown at a significantly high rate which has given a boost to the cold chain industry. However, despite of surge in demand, the occupancy rate of the cold storage facilities across the industry currently stands at around 60%. Cold Chain companies usually hold the inventory for 60-90 days. The price for the cold storage facility is OMR 0.35 per pallet per day.

The growing consumption of food and increasing food safety concerns in the market as well as the growing trend among Omani people for the consumption of frozen meat and seafood is anticipated to propel the demand of cold chain services in Oman.
