Philippines Cold Chain and Warehousing Sector Heats Up with Infrastructure Boost and Demand for Temperature-Controlled Logistics

The Philippines warehousing market is poised to witness a steady expansion, with a projected growth rate of 5.85% by the end of 2025, according to Makreo Research. Supply remains largely concentrated in strategic provinces, including Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, Pampanga, Cebu, and Davao, forming the backbone of the nation's warehousing network.

As the Philippines logistics and warehousing industry continues to evolve, significant strides are being made in enhancing the cold chain infrastructure. The integration of global best practices, particularly from countries like Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Vietnam, is helping bridge gaps in cold chain logistics in the Philippines, specifically in areas of energy efficiency, supply chain resilience, and food preservation.

With the increasing demand from sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and e-commerce, there is a rising emphasis on temperature-controlled logistics and smart storage solutions. This growth is driving investments in warehouse automation trends in Southeast Asia and public-private partnerships in logistics infrastructure, paving the way for a more resilient and technology-driven cold storage market in the Philippines.

► Rising Demand Drives Expansion of the Philippines Cold Chain and Warehousing Market
The Philippines Warehousing Market and Cold Chain Logistics sector are experiencing accelerated growth, driven by increasing urbanization and a rising population. The steady climb in demand for perishable goods and essential commodities is prompting continuous investment in logistics infrastructure, warehouse storage, and last-mile delivery systems. To support this momentum, advancements in technology, modernization, and robust infrastructure development will be essential to enhance supply chain efficiency.

The Philippines Cold Chain Market is forecasted to register double-digit growth by 2025, propelled by rising foreign trade in meat and seafood, along with increased domestic demand. The growing need for pharmaceutical cold storage and food and beverage cold chain solutions highlights the urgency of developing resilient infrastructure, especially in the wake of livestock diseases and natural calamities. With an annual population growth rate of 0.84% and a predominantly young demographic, the demand for cold storage solutions is expected to remain strong, reinforcing long-term opportunities in the Cold Storage Market in the Philippines and the broader Philippines Logistics and Warehousing Industry.

► Demographic Shifts Fuel Demand in the Philippines Warehousing and Cold Chain Market
As of 2024, the Philippines has a largely working-age population, with 64.4% falling within the 15-64 age group. This demographic composition is contributing to a steady rise in consumption, which in turn is driving demand for reliable warehousing and cold chain logistics to support retail, e-commerce, and food distribution sectors. In addition, the female labor force participation rate has shown recovery post-pandemic, reaching 47% in 2023. These shifts in the labor force and consumption patterns are influencing the direction of the Philippines Warehousing Market and the Philippines Cold Chain Market, reinforcing the need for efficient infrastructure and responsive supply chain solutions.

► Infrastructure Advancements and Warehouse Market Trends in the Philippines
Recent developments in the Philippines Logistics and Warehousing Industry reflect a strong focus on infrastructure modernization and expanding cold chain capabilities. These initiatives are set to improve operational efficiency and reduce logistics-related losses across the country.

Key Infrastructure Projects:
• Port Cold Chain Network Project -
In the pre-implementation stage, this PHP 30.80 billion initiative aims to build a nationwide cold chain logistics network across Philippine ports, helping reduce spoilage in agricultural supply chains and strengthen the Philippines Cold Chain Market.

• Davao Sasa Port Modernization Project -
With an investment of PHP 9.88 billion, this public-private partnership project in Region XI (Mindanao) targets significant upgrades to port logistics infrastructure, supporting the broader Philippines warehousing market and trade activities.

• Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge -
Projected to be among the longest marine bridges globally, this USD 3.91 billion infrastructure development is funded by the ADB, AIIB, and the Philippine government. The project will enhance regional logistics connectivity, supporting the long-term growth of the Philippines' supply chain industry.

Warehousing Market Dynamics:
• Rising Warehouse Demand -
In 2024, total warehouse storage market demand in the Philippines reached 1.37 million m2, doubling within the year. Key contributors included logistics, wholesale, retail, and manufacturing sectors-reflecting the ongoing expansion of the warehousing industry in the Philippines.

• Shift Toward Grade A and B Warehouses -
There is an increasing preference for modern warehouse facilities with features such as loading bays and energy-efficient designs. Notable relocations from Grade C to upgraded facilities have taken place in Calabarzon, signaling a clear trend in smart warehousing Philippines.

• Noteworthy Developments -
◦ DHL opened a new warehouse in Santa Rosa, Laguna.
◦ DSV expanded its facility in Silang, Cavite.

These developments contribute to the continued growth in the Philippines' warehousing market size and forecast.

► Impact of E-Commerce on the Philippines Warehousing and Cold Chain Logistics Demand
Cold Chain Implications in E-Commerce Growth:
• Last-Mile Cold Delivery:
The rise in online grocery shopping and meal delivery services is driving the need for refrigerated transport and localized micro-fulfillment centers. These services require robust cold chain infrastructure to maintain product quality during delivery.

• Cold Storage Warehousing:
The demand for biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, and fresh perishable goods is pushing the limits of existing cold storage facilities. This shortage underscores the need for further investments in the cold storage market expansion to accommodate this growing demand.

• E-Commerce & Frozen Foods:
E-commerce platforms are increasingly offering perishable goods, particularly frozen food, leading to higher demand for automated cold storage solutions, advanced refrigeration systems, and temperature-controlled packaging to ensure product safety and quality during storage and transport.

Growing Demand for Refrigerated Trucks:
• Refrigerated Trucks in ASEAN and the Philippines:
The demand for refrigerated trucks, especially those with a capacity of less than 1.5 tons, is significant across the ASEAN region. In the Philippines, these vehicles are vital to maintaining the integrity of the cold chain logistics network, ensuring the safe transport of perishable goods like food, pharmaceuticals, and dairy products.

The rising demand for cold chain logistics in the Philippines is closely tied to the growth of e-commerce, highlighting the importance of infrastructure investments to keep pace with the expanding market.
