Increased adoption of sustainable initiatives is notably driving market growth. Reefer trucks are a growing source of vehicular pollution in North America. Nevertheless, shippers and manufacturers also have concerns about other pollution sources, such as recyclable units and secondary pollution sources from transportation, packaging, and cold storage. Cold chain logistics companies and shippers are primarily looking for technologically advanced or innovative ways to balance the energy needs of perishable products while lowering resource consumption. In recent times, cold chain logistics are switching to electric vehicles, particularly when perishable goods need to be transported a short distance.
Consequently, the economic and environmental advantages are propelling companies to adopt sustainable initiatives. Further, manufacturers and cold chain companies of warehouses have been using technologies such as evaporative condensers controlled by the VFD, upgraded heat exchangers and insulations, and thermostat evaporator coils cooled with VFD-controlled fans. Such factors are expected to drive market growth in the region during the forecast period.
The introduction of blockchain technology in the logistics industry is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. Various stakeholders maintain identical logistics copies on multiple computer-controlled systems using blockchain technology which is a digital platform that provides distributed transaction ledgers. In addition, the blockchain technology system uses a thread of cryptographically guarded data and details of transactions for all stakeholders in the supply chain. In the logistics industry, the acceptance of blockchain technology has been growing steadily.
However, the introduction of blockchain technology in rural clinics and other healthcare logistics is anticipated to streamline, automate, and create transparency in the sharing of immutable records. Therefore, the benefits of blockchain technology are desired to simplify the logistics management process for companies, thereby fueling the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Fluctuating fuel prices is a significant challenge hindering market growth. The cold chain logistics providers use fuels such as petrol and diesel for transportation. These fuels are used for driving transportation vehicles, as well as for powering the refrigeration equipment in most vehicles. The fuel is used by the main traction engine, which, in turn, generates power to run an electric motor in the refrigeration unit. Medium to large vehicles typically use self-contained diesel engines for this purpose.
However, the prices of petrol and diesel, which are extracted from Brent crude oil, have been fluctuating due to an imbalance in demand and supply. These fluctuations have a direct impact on the prices of petrol and diesel, which can affect the profitability of vendors. As a result, the cold chain logistics market in North America may experience negative growth during the forecast period.

The meat and seafood segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 12.00 billion in 2017. Because of the high percentage of the meat-eating population in this region, the complexity of the global meat and seafood supply chain is affected. About 89% of Americans include meat in their diets. A combination of control and management solutions for the cold chain have been developed, including chilled storage and frozen storage solutions; superchilling; ionizing radiation; biopsies; high hydrostatic pressure (HHP); active packaging; and wireless sensors, all of which are supported by the Software-Based Cold Chain Database (CCD). Consequently, the heightened demand for cold chain logistics in the region and seafood users will boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Based on the type, the market has been segmented into refrigerated warehouses and refrigerated transportation. The refrigerated segment will account for the largest share of this segment. A refrigerated warehouse is a facility designed to store temperature-sensitive products such as meat and dairy products to prevent spoilage. The warehouse is equipped with adjustable temperature rooms, allowing for precise temperature management according to the type of product stored. These warehouses can also be utilized as drying rooms to control moisture levels in food products. They are generally airtight, which protects food from external temperature and weather changes. Due to the increasing need to preserve food products and reduce food wastage, many food producers are now opting for cold storage services. These features are expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the cold chain logistics market in North America during the forecast period.
