This growth during the forecasted period can be credited to the expanding role of e-commerce in the grocery and food delivery sector, health and wellness trends, advancements in cold chain logistics technology, the global nature of food supply chains, and a concentration on food safety and quality. The forecasted period will be characterized by trends such as e-commerce and online grocery shopping, the worldwide nature of food supply chains, health and safety protocols, customization and scalability, urbanization, and the rise of convenience foods.
What Are the Critical Driver Fuelling The Frozen Storage Market's Growth?
The growth of the frozen storage market is anticipated to be driven by the increasing need for perishable products. These are food items that can spoil or get damaged if they aren't stored at 40 °F or below, or frozen at 0 °F or below. Cold storage or refrigeration is used for perishable food items such as fresh fruits, vegetables, frozen foods, pharmaceutical products, and more to slow down food degradation. Therefore, the escalating demand for these products will necessitate frozen storage facilities for their preservation, which in turn will fuel the market demand. For example, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, a US federal agency, reported in December 2022 that U.S. food, feed, and beverage exports surged by $0.7 billion in 2022, contributing to an overall export value of $3,009.7 billion. Concurrently, imports saw a significant rise of $26.1 billion, leading to total goods imports of $3,957.8 billion, a boost largely attributed to a $7.0 billion rise in soybean exports. Hence, the increasing need for perishable products is a key factor propelling the expansion of the frozen storage market.
