US Cold Storage Market Growth Factors
The expansion of e-commerce grocery shopping has fundamentally transformed the requirements for cold storage infrastructure across the US. In September, online grocery sales in the US increased by more than USD 1 Billion for the second straight month, according to data from Brick Meets Click and Mercatus. This growth encourages retailers and third-party logistics providers to establish micro-fulfillment centers within urban areas, shortening last-mile delivery times for perishable goods. These centers employ automated shuttle systems and click-and-collect services, blurring lines between retail and warehouse operations. Sophisticated inventory software synchronizes stock visibility across distribution hubs and fulfillment nodes, enabling dynamic perishable stock allocation based on real-time demand. Consumer demand for faster delivery of dairy products, meal kits, and frozen foods also accelerates market growth.
The pharmaceutical sector's increasing reliance on cell therapies and mRNA vaccine platforms is driving demand for specialized ultra-cold storage. According to IMARC, the US cell therapy market reached USD 3.9 Billion in 2024. Temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, ranging from refrigerated products requiring 2 6C to 8 6C storage to ultra-low temperature vaccines needing -80 6C to -60 6C conditions, are rapidly expanding within cold chain logistics. Many pharmaceutical shippers outsource temperature-controlled storage to third-party logistics providers with audited quality management and validated data logging systems. Operators provide centralized automated ultra-low temperature chambers with redundant cooling to protect biologics and vaccines during distribution.
Automation and robotics integration is accelerating as cold storage operators invest in automated storage and retrieval systems, autonomous forklifts, robotic palletizers, and AI-powered inventory management to counter labor shortages and boost efficiency. For instance, in October 2025, Tjoapack invested in a facility in Clinton, New York, adding two new packaging lines including a fully automated high-speed vial packaging line with up to 20 million units annual capacity. Robotic systems improve space utilization and support sustainability by reducing energy use. Automation reduces human exposure to extreme cold and decreases labor costs, easing workforce recruitment challenges.
