The size of the Europe cold storage market is expected to be worth USD 70.36 billion in 2024 and grow at a CAGR of 7.78% from 2024 to 2032 to achieve USD 128.09 billion by 2032.
Cold storage is the place where temperature-sensitive products are stored and transported. It is an integral part of supply chain management. Refrigeration is the storage of food or items in a refrigerator or other cold place. Cold storage is an integral part of the supply chain management process when storing or transporting temperature-sensitive products. Cold Storage uses ventilation and cooling systems to precisely control humidity and temperature and maintains constant conditions. The chemical reaction occurs at a slow rate, so the product lasts longer than usual. Cold Storage is used to keep perishable items such as vegetables, fruits, seafood, meats, and dairy products at the desired temperature to maintain product quality for a long time. Hectic lifestyles and increased spending on cold-stored foods are positively impacting the European cold storage market demand as consumer demand for frozen or processed foods increases.
