North America Cold Chain Market Trends:

Apart from this, due to the flourishing e-commerce and online food delivery industries in the region, there has been a rise in the demand for cold storage and transportation. Moreover, many leading companies are providing the latest cold chain technologies to expand their market operations. For instance, Americold offers the most comprehensive temperature-controlled storage and distribution network, supported by advanced radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. Moreover, several companies in North America have recently incorporated internet of things (IoT) technology in the cold chain as it helps them to connect seamlessly at every step of the process and offer a host of cost benefits. As a result of these factors, the market value is projected to reach US$ 142.6 Billion by 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.7% during 2019-2024.
