Cold chain equipment refers to chilling equipment used across the food & medical supply chain. This equipment is used to preserve the shelf life of products such as agricultural produce, seafood, meat, frozen food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other medical products. The cold chain equipment consists of a wide collection of storage/transportation equipment such as vaccine carriers, cold boxes, ice packs, cool packs, refrigerators, refrigerator trucks & cars, reefer ships & containers, refrigerated warehouses, and others. With the availability of a wide range of products, cold chain equipment has permitted seamless transportation of perishable products for diverse applications.
The overall cold chain equipment market is mainly driven by the constant growth in the demand for frozen food across the world. In regions such as North America and Europe, frozen foods have been most popular requiring a vigorous transportation chain for supplies. Also, with the increasing trend of frozen food consumption across Asia Pacific countries, the overall cold chain equipment market has witnessed remarkable evolution over the past few years. With the steadily increasing population along with the change in food habits, the demand for frozen food is anticipated to remain strong in the subsequent years.
