A refrigerated truck refers to a vehicle type that is particularly designed for carrying perishable goods at lower temperatures to avoid spoilage or contamination. These trucks are primarily equipped with a mechanical refrigeration system that contains carbon dioxide (dry ice) as a cooling agent to maintain the temperature below the freezing point. Refrigerated trucks are widely adopted to transport numerous temperature-sensitive items, such as meat and fish, dairy products, fruits & vegetables, confectioneries, pharmaceuticals, etc.

India Refrigerated Trucks Market Trends:

In India, the expanding cold chain logistics sector coupled with the growing number of food retail services is primarily driving the demand for refrigerated trucks. In line with this, the rising consumer inclination towards frozen, chilled, and processed food items due to hectic work schedules and sedentary lifestyles is also propelling the market growth. Additionally, the wide availability of frozen meat, ready-to-cook snacks, seasonal fruits and vegetables, etc., across diverse brick-and-mortar and online distribution channels is further augmenting the deployment of refrigerated trucks for supply-based applications. Several food retailers are focusing on the adoption of advanced-cold chain transportation facilities for efficient management of their supply chains. Apart from this, a significant growth in the healthcare sector along with the rising demand for safe transportation of temperature-sensitive products, such as vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, clinical trial materials, etc., is also catalyzing the market. Moreover, the increasing investments in the development of advanced medical facilities and research laboratories are further bolstering the need for refrigerated trucks to preserve heat-liable biological materials during transportation activities. In the coming years, the emergence of hybrid refrigerated trucks with phase change material (PCM) technology offering improved energy efficiency and enhanced operational features will continue to drive the market growth in India.
