The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Refrigerated Transport Market Report by Mode of Transportation (Refrigerated Road Transport, Refrigerated Sea Transport, Refrigerated Rail Transport, Refrigerated Air Transport), Technology (Vapor Compression Systems, Air-Blown Evaporators, Eutectic Devices, Cryogenic Systems), Temperature (Single-Temperature, Multi-Temperature), Application (Chilled Food Products, Frozen Food Products, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” finds that the global refrigerated transport market reached a value of USD 19.6 Billion in 2024. Refrigerated transport, or reefer freight, refers to temperature-controlled vehicles equipped with a built-in cooling system that maintains the desired temperature throughout the transportation process. They help transport perishable food items such as fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, dairy product, confectionery, and bakery products. These vehicles also offer appropriate temperature settings that help preserve the quality of the products, even in harsh conditions. They also ensure year-round availability of seasonal goods. Moreover, refrigerated transport is utilized to transfer chemical and pharmaceutical products as they increase safety and prevent economic losses due to spoilage.
Refrigerated Transport Market Trends:
The market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for perishable commodities across the globe. For instance, the rapid manufacturing of temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical drugs and frozen food products has increased the need for refrigerated transport. In addition to this, governing authorities across various countries are implementing stringent regulations regarding the production, processing, transportation, and quality of food products, which is creating a favorable market outlook. Besides this, the rising prevalence of foodborne diseases and growing health-consciousness among consumers have resulted in the utilization of refrigerated transport as it increases the shelf life, maintains optimal quality, and inhibits bacterial growth in food products. Furthermore, the development of efficient modes of cold chain logistics and technological innovations are also anticipated to drive the market further. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach a value of USD 29.3 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.54% during the forecast period (2025-2033).
