Cold Storage Construction Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Storage Type (Bulk Stores, Controlled Atmosphere (CA) Stores, Frozen Stores and Other Storage Types), Warehouse Type (Blast Freezers and Chillers, Cold Rooms, Pharmaceutical Cold Storage Warehouse and Refrigerated Containers), Material, Insulation Type, Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Cold Storage Construction Market is accounted for $11.5 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $26.4 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 12.6% during the forecast period. The main purpose of cold storage is to preserve perishable goods like meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, etc. These products can last longer due to cold storage. To keep the products in a temperature-controlled environment, a range of freezers and coolers are available. The cold storage design is used in a variety of sectors, including the medical, industrial, chemical, and food and beverage industries.

According to the Global Cold Chain Association, the capacity of public warehouses makes up around 75% of the total capacity of refrigerated storage in the United States.

Market Dynamics

Driver

Rapidly expanding frozen food sector

Frozen foods are becoming more popular as people's preferences for convenience rise due to their simplicity and time-saving advantages over making food from scratch. The main force behind the processed food industry is the simplicity that packaged food products offer, which appeals to consumers of all ages. Fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat are some of the foods that are most frequently purchased frozen. The industry of frozen foods relies heavily on cold storage facilities. The demand for cold storage equipment is increasing as a result of the rapidly growing frozen food sector.

Restraint

Lack of infrastructure

The lack of infrastructure required to support the cold chain will probably make it difficult for businesses to expand their operations in emerging markets. Additionally, the absence of electrical connections for refrigerated trailers in ports and transportation hubs will restrict the growth of the sector in certain locations.

Opportunity

Increasing government initiatives

The use of packaging materials for storing solid, liquid, and semisolid forms of formulations, such as capsules, topical medicine formulations, tablets, and syrups, as well as the focus of various governments on enhancing healthcare systems and insurance coverage, have an impact on the market. Additionally, the rise in investments, expansion of the manufacturing industry, use in consumer product packaging, and quick industrialization all favour the market for constructing cold storage facilities.

Threat

High maintenance and equipment Costs

The cost of materials used in storage processes, the size and price of large cold storage equipment, and other factors are impeding the global industry's growth. Furthermore, it is anticipated that high power, infrastructure, and maintenance costs, as well as expanding government regulations imposed on gases used in cold stores, will pose challenges for the expansion of the cold storage construction market.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased online grocery shopping, which has an impact on the market for building cold storage facilities. Prior to COVID-19, the industrial sector was already seeing a change in supply chain activity, and e-commerce heightened the need for technological advancements to keep up with the escalating demand for last-mile distribution. In the coming years, increased demand for pharmaceutical production and distribution—a major consumer of cold storage space—will probably benefit this particular sector of the industrial market, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The food & beverages segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

During the forecast period, the food and beverage segment is anticipated to expand significantly. The food and beverage industry is seeing strong demand globally as a result of urbanization, economic growth, and highly developed industrial channels that have significantly altered consumer behavior.

The production stores segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

During the forecast period, the production stores segment is anticipated to expand significantly. Cold storage systems and facilities are being deployed as a result of the growing demand for the storage of food products, raw materials, and ingredients during production processes, which are also driving the production stores segment's revenue growth.

Region with largest share

Due to the region's robust economic growth, rapid urbanization, and large population base, which all play a significant role in the market's expansion, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to hold the largest share of the global cold storage construction market over the course of the forecast period. Most of the nations in the region are investing in the construction industry to boost their economies. Additionally, increased government funding for the construction of new cold chain infrastructure is anticipated to fuel market expansion in this area.

Region with highest CAGR

The North American region is anticipated to experience profitable growth. The large user base and abundance of connected devices in the area are major growth drivers. Mexico in particular is anticipated to experience exponential growth in North America due to an expanding network of warehouses and increased investment in the development of the logistics infrastructure. Additionally, it is anticipated that in the upcoming years, economic growth and modifications to Mexican government regulations aimed at streamlining the customs program will hasten the call.
