As international trade has increased drastically during the past years, the link from farmer to processing facility to transportation increasingly passes through cold storage en route to ever more distant markets. Instead of simply serving as warehouses to store overflow, Cold Stores are now expected to provide sophisticated value-added services. The industry is moving beyond the traditional freezer box approach. With the growing demands to store and distribute temperature-sensitive products in potent condition, organizations are seeking better solutions to maintain and monitor cold chain. The success of implementing cold chain management involves continual monitoring of product temperature throughout distribution and having appropriate corrective action plans in place.

Cold Chain is now a Sunrise Sector in India. The Cold Chain market is valued at INR 89 billion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11%.Government backing will help boost the capacity creation for cold storages while new players are gradually venturing into the more profitable refrigerated transport services. In India, the key challenges of the cold chain market include lack of logistical support, uneven distribution of cold chains, cost structure and power supply.
