Saudi Arabia Refrigerated Transport Market Size is Growing at a Steady CAGR of 7.90% to Reach USD 7.12 billion by 2029
Saudi Arabia refrigerated market is flourishing due to the rapid expansion of the food and beverages industry; increasing international trade and investments in cold chain infrastructure; regulatory requirements; changing consumer preferences; and the surge in e-commerce.
BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the Saudi Arabia refrigerated transport market size at USD 4.17 billion in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, BlueWeave expects the Saudi Arabia refrigerated transport market size to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% to reach a value of USD 7.12 billion by 2029. The growth of the refrigerated transport market in Saudi Arabia is driven by the expanding food and beverages sector in the kingdom. The demand for fresh, high-quality perishable goods, including fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and meat, has been on the rise as the population grows and consumer preferences shift toward healthier and more diverse food options. To meet this demand, reliable and efficient refrigerated transport services are crucial for maintaining the quality, freshness, and safety of these perishable goods throughout the supply chain. Another contributing factor is the growth of international trade in Saudi Arabia. With limited entertainment options available, the culture of eating at restaurants and food trucks gained prominence in the country. Since 2010, the immigrant population in Saudi Arabia has contributed to the demand for assorted cuisines and new dining concepts. This trend further augmented the demand for global cuisines, thus boosting the number of foodservice outlets. In 2022, due to the high penetration of international cuisines, Saudi Arabia became the largest market, accounting for more than half of the GCC foodservice market.
