Based on type segment market is bifurcated into refrigerated warehouse and refrigerated transport. Refrigerated transport type is growing at rapid pace in South Korea cold chain logistics market. South Korean exports of perishable items, such as agricultural produce, seafood, and processed foods, have increased. Refrigerated transport enables the efficient and safe shipment of temperature-sensitive items to foreign markets, thereby satisfying rising demand. The rising popularity of fresh and frozen food products has raised the demand for refrigerated transportation. Refrigerated transport guarantees that high-quality, perishable items reach varied destinations while retaining their freshness. With the advent of e-commerce and online shopping, there is a greater demand for Refrigerated transport to bring fresh food and perishable goods straight to consumers doorsteps, demanding efficient and temperature-controlled delivery services. The temperature type segment of the market includes frozen and chilled. Frozen temperature type is commonly used for cold chain logistics in South Korea. Frozen temperature logistics assure a year-round supply of seasonal crops. Climate variations in South Korea have an impact on agricultural production, making frozen storage critical for ensuring a stable supply of certain perishable items regardless of seasonal shifts. When compared to refrigerated or ambient storage, frozen storage considerably increases product shelf life. This form of food preservation enables better inventory management and reduces food waste across the supply chain. South Korea is a large exporter of frozen fish items. Frozen temperature logistics are crucial in maintaining the freshness and quality of seafood during shipment to diverse worldwide markets.

Based on technology segment market includes dry ice, gel packs, eutectic plates, liquid nitrogen and quilts. Gel packs technology is gaining momentum in South Korea cold chain logistics market. Gel packs are suitable for a wide range of packing layouts and product categories. They are easily fitted into a variety of container sizes, allowing for greater flexibility in maintaining the necessary temperature range for a wide range of items. South Korean cold chain logistics are improving with innovative packaging options that incorporate gel pack technology. This includes the creation of insulated packaging that maximizes the use of gel packs for effective temperature control. The demand for excellent cold chain logistics is driven by consumer demands for fresh and high-quality items. Gel pack technology contributes to meeting market needs by ensuring that items arrive fresh and in optimal condition. The application segment of the market is divided into dairy and frozen desserts, pharmaceuticals, process food, meat, fish and seafoods, bakery and confectionery, fruits and vegetables, and others. Dairy and frozen desserts are significantly adopting cold chain logistics in South Korea. Dairy products and frozen desserts require precise temperature control to maintain quality, texture, and flavor. Cold chain logistics ensures that these products remain within the appropriate temperature range throughout the supply chain, from manufacture to consumption. Seasonally, demand for frozen desserts fluctuates. Cold chain logistics make storage and distribution of these products easier, allowing manufacturers to meet demand changes more efficiently. Advanced refrigeration and freezing technologies within cold chain logistics provide precise temperature control, maintaining the texture and flavor of frozen sweets and dairy products.
