Australia Cold Chain Logistics Market Growth Factors
Increasing demand for frozen food products in the Australia cold chain logistics market is driven by a rise in demand for frozen or refrigerated food products among customers, requiring temperature controlled transportation, storage and packaging of food products. Among the group of basic food products are fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat, seafood and bakery products, which are perishable food products with a short shelf-life and require a cold chain. Furthermore, with changes toward consumer preferences for organic, fresh dairy and ready-to-eat meals, the industry has been adapting its cold storage and refrigerated transport to meet the consumer needs.
The growing demand in pharmaceutical products such as vaccines, biologics, and specialty drugs is another major factor driving the growth of the market. Pharmaceuticals require temperature control throughout the supply chain, and vaccines require temperature control within a certain temperature band. Australian pharmaceutical manufacturers are working with cold chain logistics providers to increase domestic capacity to meet government requirements and expected increased demand for overseas sales. For example, Moderna builds an mRNA vaccine manufacturing facility in Australia that can potentially make up to 100 million doses a year, and this requires increased cold chain logistics.
Robotics and IoT sensors advanced and enabled someone to construct a new generation of automated cold storage warehouses. This allows for faster sorting, storage, and retrieval of perishables, reducing human error and increasing throughput. Real-time monitoring and climate control systems further improve food safety and reduce spoilage in cold storage warehouses. Further, unmanned vehicles and drones with temperature control equipment have sharpened precision transportation scheduling whilst reducing the amount of manual labor expended within transport, and have contributed to increased last mile logistics operational efficiency as well as operational excellence within logistics overall.
