Major growth factors for South Korea Cold Chain Logistics Market include rising demand for non-durable and perishable items as well as the developing e-commerce industry. The market for cold chain logistics in South Korea is projected to be driven also by an increasing demand for fresh and frozen food items, which has been exacerbated by the expanding female workforce and the growing acceptance of a work-from-home trend.
Opportunity - Rising Demand for Cold Chain Logistics from BioPharma Industry
The growing demand for temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, biologics, and vaccines, due to rising prevalence of chronic diseases and rapidly aging population is propelling the growth of South Korea Cold Chain Logistics Market. Cold chain logistics ensure safe and efficient transportation and storage of various drugs and medical products. Many biologic drugs, such as gene therapies or monoclonal antibodies, require controlled environments with temperatures ranging from 2°C to 8°C. Without efficient cold chain logistics, these drugs and medical products can lose their potency, which may result in shortages of products in hospitals and pharmacies, leading to significant losses to the healthcare sector.
Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on South Korea Cold Chain Logistics Market
Intensifying geopolitical tensions among countries and spreading across the major regions could impact the growth of South Korea Cold Chain Logistics Market. The global supply chain of South Korea is disrupted by geopolitical tensions between the United States and other major nations, including China and North Korea. It has an adverse effect on the region's freight and aviation routes, which raises transportation prices and causes delays in logistical operations. As a result, the cold chain logistics sector may face significant challenges in meeting their goal of delivering perishable commodities. South Korea's trade ties may also be impacted by trade restrictions like tariffs and sanctions, which might lead to a sharp drop in imports and exports and have a ripple effect on the need for cold chain logistics.
Frozen Segment to Grow at Fastest CAGR in South Korean Market
The frozen segment accounts for the higher share of the market owing to the rising demand for frozen food. South Korean customers' busy lifestyles and the growing number of women in the workforce are driving up demand for frozen foods since they are less expensive and require less preparation time. However, because of the strong demand in the pharmaceutical industry, the chilled segment also accounts for a sizeable portion of the market. A cold environment between +2°C and +8°C is necessary for many pharmaceutical products to avoid deterioration and potency loss, which drives its market growth.
