The cold storage is used for storing perishable products such as fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, dairy, bakery products, pharmaceutical products, and others by keeping items much cooler than regular room temperature.

Major US Cold Storage Market Drivers

Increasing health consciousness among consumers, growth in the demand of healthy and quality food products, surging demand for e-commerce grocery deliveries are some of the major factors expected to boost the growth of the cold storage market in US. Additionally, extensive demand for perishable goods including fruits, vegetables, medicines, processed foods, Dairy products, and seafood among consumers is further anticipated to augment the market growth.

Additionally, lack of skilled labour for the implementation and maintenance of technologies including advanced automation, software system, and tracking systems in cold storage facilities is further hampering the market growth in US.

The private cold storage facility is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period in US primarily due to the growing development of private warehouses by enterprises owing to various benefits including flexibility and greater control over cost and priorities regarding the overall activities such as handling, storage, and transportation.

On the basis of temperature type, the US cold storage market has been segmented into chilled and frozen. The frozen cold storage segment is anticipated to account for a prominent share in the market. This can be attributed to the rising consumption of ready to eat frozen food, frozen perishable foods including vegetables, fruit, fish, meat, dairy, and frozen bakery products among consumers. The proliferation of retail chains, including hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, speciality stores is triggering the demand for cold storages in the country.

Increased number of working population, changing consumer preferences toward ready-to-cook meals, and demand for convenience food coupled with hygiene is anticipated to boost the demand of frozen food, which thereby expected to contribute to the growth of the cold storage market in US.
