The cold chain market in Europe size is forecast to increase by USD 78 billion at a CAGR of 11.7% between 2024 and 2029.
- The cold chain market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for automated storage and retrieval systems in various industries, including biopharmaceuticals and frozen food. The use of IoT sensors and LED lighting in cold storage facilities enhances efficiency and reduces energy consumption. Fluctuating fuel prices continue to impact the cold chain logistics industry, driving the need for predictive analytics and optimized warehouse management systems.
