(Food-Beverage-News.Com, March 22, 2018 ) A cold chain is a type of supply chain that involves the storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive goods. Thermal and refrigerated packaging methods are used to help with the transportation and storage of temperature-sensitive goods; extensive logistics planning ensures the integrity of these goods. A cold chain is a temperature-controlled supply chain process used to maintain ideal storage conditions for different products and commodities. It provides temperature-controlled warehouses for surface storage and refrigerated transport vehicles for physical distribution of products at optimal temperatures. It is used widely to store and transport fruits, vegetables, drugs, and medicines without spoilage. Cold storage increases shelf life and maintains product quality. Cold chain service providers also offer various value-added services that improve the efficiency of the supply chain management (SCM) process.
According to the market research analysts at Technavio, the global food and beverage (F&B) cold chain logistics market will witness impressive growth and will post a CAGR of more than 11% over the forecast period. Proper food storage and efficient coordination in the supply chain system is critical to preserving the nutritional value of food and beverages. According to United Nations Environment Program, about one-third of the food produced annually is wasted, which is close to USD 1 trillion. Perishable food products and beverages are often exposed to fluctuating temperatures during transit and handling, which leads to the wastage. The global population is expected to increase at a rapid pace in the future, which will result in an increasing demand for food products. Therefore, with increasing world population and food wastage, the need for efficient cold chain logistics is expected to increase significantly in the coming years.
The augmented adoption of multi-temperature refrigerated vehicles is one of the emerging trends spurring the growth prospects of this market during the predicted period. The reduction in the size of shipments has led to the increasing need for multi-compartments in refrigerated vehicles. The coldest compartment is primarily located at the front and the warmest at the rear. Heat transfer between the compartments, loading arrangements, and method of temperature control are the primary focus areas in this system. Although any temperature configuration is possible, the design and control of such vehicles are challenging compared to single compartment vehicles.
