European Cold Chain Logistics Industry to 2025 - RFID Technologies for Cold Chain Applications Presents Opportunities - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Europe Cold Chain Logistics Market by Mode of Transportation, End Use Industry and Temperature Type: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020-2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Cold chain logistics consists of storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive products along the supply chain by using thermal refrigerated packaging methods and logistical planning so that the integrity of these shipments is protected. Cold chain products are transported through various means such as refrigerated railcars & trucks, reefers & air cargos, refrigerated cargo ships, and others. Major elements of cold chain logistics consist of cooling systems, cold storage, cold transport, and cold processing & distribution.

Cold chain logistics refers to the freezing solutions planned to maintain the quality and shell life of the products such as fresh agricultural produce, seafood, frozen food, photographic film, chemicals, and pharmaceutical drugs. Cold chains are essential for extending the period of marketing, avoiding over capacity, reducing transport bottlenecks during peak period, and maintaining product quality. The process involves the utilization of temperature-controlled warehouses for storage and cold insulated transport vehicles for products' distributions. Cold chain logistics solutions are widely used to transport and store fruits, vegetables, meat, beef, medicines, and drugs. Transportation modes used are refrigerated trucks, refrigerated railcars, refrigerated cargo, and air cargo.

Monitoring, storage, and transportation are the important factors in the cold chain to avoid degradation in the quality of shipments. Cold chain logistics are anticipated to witness significant growth over the years, owing to rise in need of cold chain logistics in the pharmaceutical industry.

At present, Germany dominates the market, followed by France, Spain, and Rest of Europe.
