Global Refrigerated Transport Market Dynamics
Refrigerated Transport Market Driver
Rising demand for frozen perishable products
- Globally increased female employment, the rapid impact of the pandemic and increasingly frantic lifestyles along with a work-from-home culture is changing consumer perception of frozen meals. Growth forecasts for frozen foods are encouraging, with opportunities emerging from emerging regions such as Asia Pacific, South America, and Eastern Europe. When weather conditions hamper agricultural productivity, frozen meals are preferred because they have a longer shelf life. Food manufacturers try to provide consumers with cost-effective frozen, processed, and packaged foods. Freezing techniques are an excellent way to transfer food from farmer's markets to supermarkets while increasing affordability and accessibility and reducing food waste. The growth of service sectors such as fast-food chains, quick-service restaurants, and supermarkets is driving the demand for frozen foods.
Refrigerated Transport Market Restraint
High energy costs and the need for significant capital investments
- Preventing premature expiration, decay and spoilage is a major goal of food producers, traders, and consumers in the food sector. Service providers must now invest in new cold storage facilities, advanced vehicles, and system technology. On the other hand, high energy costs are a major problem for cold chain suppliers. Rising fuel costs and effective fuel consumption management are two key challenges for cold chain suppliers, as the need for refrigerated trucks in the cold chain has increased in recent years, especially in North America and Europe.

With the introduction of the TEJ35GAM, the firm hopes to solve issues facing the distribution sector by emphasizing increased environmental performance, workstyle reform, and transportation efficiency to guarantee the safe and secure transportation of food.
- DALLAS—On May 20, 2023, Hirschbach Motor Lines, Inc., a developing refrigerated trucking company, and Aurora Innovation, Inc., a U.S.-based self-driving car technology company, announced plans to launch a commercial pilot in May 2023 to test and safely implement autonomous trucking for refrigerated cargo between Dallas and Houston.
- Kodiak Robotics and freight carrier C.R. England partnered in April 2023. They are working together to launch a test project that will see Tyson Foods' chilled trailer goods transported autonomously from Dallas to San Antonio, Texas. Human safety drivers will be on the trucks to guarantee safety during the pilot's early phases. Moreover, C.R. England has joined Kodiak's Partner Deployment Program, an effort to help carriers set up autonomous freight operations and smoothly incorporate Kodiak Driver—the company's autonomous system—into their current fleets.
Global Refrigerated Transport Key Market Trends
- Service providers are exploring new strategies for selecting transportation modes to reduce costs and improve supply chain efficiency. Intermodal transport is increasingly employed in the food and beverage industry. Intermodal transportation relies heavily on rail shipments and carries perishable goods through multiple modes of transportation (trucks, ships, and air). Intermodal transport also uses reefer containers. Due to rising fuel costs, refrigerated rail transport is becoming more popular. According to the Association of American Railroads (AAR) in Washington, companies have made significant investments in rail infrastructure and related technology. For example, Union Pacific Corporation, one of North America's leading transportation companies, has invested more than USD 30 billion in its rail network since 2000, allowing for the construction or modernization of intermodal facilities as well as the development of track infrastructure that serves the truck's competitive delivery service.
