Cold Chain Logistics Procurement Intelligence

The cold chain logistics category is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15% from 2023 to 2030.

The worldwide increase in demand for perishable items which are required to be stored and transported at an appropriate temperature to maintain their freshness and quality has led to the increase in demand for these services. Good cold chain logistics networks, which involve effective collaboration between suppliers, transportation providers, and customs officials to ensure timely delivery and compliance with international standards, are crucial in meeting the demand for fresh items across borders. The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 is responsible for the majority of cold chain logistics operations.
