Cold chain is a combination of temperature-controlled surface transport and supply chain. Cold chain logistics refers to the freezing solutions required to maintain the quality and shelf life of products such as fresh agricultural produce, seafood, frozen food, photographic film, chemicals, and pharmaceutical drugs. Cold chains are essential for extending the period of marketing, avoiding over capacity, reducing transport bottlenecks during peak period, and maintaining the quality of products. The process involves the utilization of temperature-controlled warehouses for storage and cold insulated transport vehicles for product distribution. Cold chain logistics solutions are widely used to transport and store fruits, vegetables, meat, beef, medicines, and drugs. Transportation modes used are refrigerated trucks, refrigerated railcars, refrigerated cargo, and air cargo. The cold chain industry plays an important role in reducing the wastage of perishable products and commodities, thus providing remunerative prices to farmers. In the pharmacy industry, cold chain logistics increases the efficacy of the drug throughout the supply chain.

Increase in number of refrigerated warehouses

Several warehouses comprising cold chain systems are designed to ensure the ideal storage and transportation conditions for temperature-sensitive products. Multiple export industries are dependent on the vital links that cold chain solutions provide. Businesses invest millions of dollars in their cold chain operations to create effective, efficient, and reliable processes as an end-to-end cold chain security is the weak link in the system. Single breakdown in the cold chain logistics supply chain can lead to catastrophic losses of products and capital. Moreover, the number of refrigerated warehouses is increasing, owing to surge in demand for food and pharmaceuticals products. Therefore, increase in refrigerated warehouses is anticipated to boost the growth of the cold chain logistics market. In 2018, cold chain storage capacity of India was around 25%, followed by China and Japan with 17% and 6%, respectively of the total global cold chain storage capacity. In addition, increase in need for effective cold chain logistics services to maintain the quality of goods fuels the growth of the market.

Development of the pharmaceuticals sector

Pharmaceuticals manufacturers increasingly focus on the product quality and sensitivity. Factors, such as development of complex biological-based medicines and shipment of hormone treatments, vaccines, & complex proteins that require cold chain refinements, result in need of temperature-controlled transportation and warehousing. Temperature-controlled logistics of pharmaceutical products and medical devices is a significantly growing part of the healthcare logistics industry. In the COVID-19 health crisis, cold chain logistics plays a vital role for the pharmaceutical sector while increasing concern toward health is expected to support the growth of the Asia-Pacific cold chain logistics market. Majority of the healthcare companies are expected to transform their global supply chain strategies as to the COVID-19 pandemic led to many unavoidable changes in the business ecosystem. Furthermore, during the COVID-19 vaccine transportation, temperature control became a priority for governments, health insurance, national media, and social care services. Moreover, increase in need for effective cold chain logistics services to maintain the quality of goods fuels the growth of the market. In addition, the entire cold chain supply chain and logistics for the pharmaceutical industry is becoming more strategic and reliable. High-value pharmaceutical products are mostly shipped via cold chain solutions across the entire distribution network, thereby driving the growth of the market in Asia-Pacific.

Availability of RFID technologies for cold chain applications

Adoption of radio frequency identification technology improves the efficiency and provides flow of temperature-sensitive/perishable goods along the supply chain. This technology is used to identify items through a unique electronic product code (EPC) or other barcode and to store real-time environmental data (including temperature), which can later be transmitted, allowing corrective actions to be taken before products are irrevocably damaged. In November 2018, Stora Enso launched new sustainable RFID tag technology termed as ECO by Stora Enso. The product is paper-based, making it sustainable and completely recyclable. The technology provides manufacturers with transparency in tracking the product in supply chain. In the recent years, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been adopted by the majority of the market participants to attain streamline operations and cater to the changing requirement of the supply chain. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant change in the supply chain outlook, enabling the growing usage of digital high-end technologies to attain operational efficiency along with health concerns. The changing logistics industry outlook, requirement for substantial cost optimization, and optimum inventory management are anticipated to support the growth of the Asia-Pacific cold chain logistics market. Therefore, surge in demand for real-time temperature monitoring in cold chain logistics is expected to boost the growth of the market.

COVID-19 impact analysis

The COVID-19 crisis is creating uncertainty in the market by slowing down the supply chains, hampering business growth, and increasing panic among the customer segments. For the Asia-Pacific market, the year 2020 was a negative growth performing year, owing to the slow demand and supply outlook due to COVID-19 restrictions for end users, including manufacturers and suppliers of fruits & vegetables, bakery & confectionery, dairy & frozen desserts, meat, fish, & sea food, and drugs & pharmaceuticals industries. The overall production activities of these industries have declined, owing to operations with limited workforce capacity and inadequate health safety measures. This expected weak business performance directly impacts the overall sales and service of cold chain logistics. In February 2021, the second wave of COVID-19 hit hard more than the earlier wave of COVID-19, and is expected to impact the overall economic outlook negatively in the coming months.
