While many injuries and tissue changes are considered low-risk, high-risk occurrences warrant careful evaluation to prevent further injury or complications. The healthcare sector, in particular, requires specialized storage solutions for pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, which is driving the growth of the market in this segment. The market is expected to witness steady growth in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for efficient and cost-effective storage solutions, the adoption of advanced technologies, and the growing focus on automation and digitization in the logistics and supply chain sectors.

Key Market Driver

The growing consumption of frozen and perishable foods is notably driving market growth. Factors such as increasing disposable incomes, changing consumption patterns, and rapid urbanization is driving the demand for frozen and perishable food products in China. As the shelf life of these products is much shorter, they need to be stored under controlled temperatures. Therefore, the cold chain market in China is growing due to the rise in the consumption of frozen and perishable foods.

Moreover, the consumption of products such as meat, which usually requires a cold chain to prevent its degradation, has been on the rise. The growing consumption of products that require special storage facilities will increase the demand for warehouses and storage from the cold chain market. Therefore, it is expected that the growing consumption of frozen and perishable foods will drive the China warehouse and storage market during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trend

The rise of multistoried warehouses is an emerging trend in market growth. The growth of the e-commerce market in China has led to increased demand for warehouse and storage facilities. Delivery in e-commerce services is majorly dependent on last-mile services. One of the solutions for better last-mile service is to place the warehouses as close as possible to the consumer to reduce the delivery time.

Further, as land in major cities has become scarce and expensive, particularly in key commercial centers such as Shanghai and Beijing, the rental prices for warehouse spaces are expected to increase during the forecast period. To overcome this issue, developers are adding more floors to warehouse units. In 2021, GLP Pte Ltd., one of the major builders in the logistics industry, leased an 18.7-million-meter square facility to various e-commerce players for the distribution of goods in China, increasing its revenue from warehouse and storage leasing by 53%. Hence, such developments will have a positive impact on market growth during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

The increase in rentals for warehouse and storage space is a major challenge impeding market growth. The rush for warehouse and storage space due to the growing demand for e-commerce is pushing up the rentals for storage units in China. As the growth of the e-commerce industry will further increase demand for short-term leasing, the rentals for warehouse and storage spaces will gradually increase. Moreover, the availability of land for industrial warehouses has been declining in China.

In addition, policies are also not favorable to those looking to acquire industrial land for warehouse and storage units in China. For instance, in China, land acquisition is a major issue for foreign players as the local government only allows temporary land use rights. Also, tax revenue generated from leasing warehouses is limited. Beijing has tightened its land quota system amid concerns that farmland was being converted into commercial zones. The resultant rise in rental prices will have a considerably negative impact on the returns generated from operating warehouse and storage units for companies. This will hamper the market during the forecast period.
