United States Refrigerated Transport Market

Market Overview:

The United States refrigerated transport market size reached US$ 4.6 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 5.9 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% during 2023-2028.

Refrigerated transport is the method of transporting shipments with specially designed temperature-controlled vehicles, such as refrigerated trucks or vans. These vehicles consist of built-in cooling technology equipped with refrigerating systems or containers with ready-made freezing mixtures, water ice, dry ice, or liquefied gases. They help maintain the required temperature throughout the transportation process to prevent the spoilage of fruits, meat, seafood, and dairy and other perishable products.

The United States represents one of the largest refrigerated transport markets across the globe. The market is primarily driven by the escalating import and export of products like fruits, vegetables, seafood, meat, and fresh flowers. Refrigerated transport reduces food deterioration due to physical, biochemical and physiological changes while preserving the quality of the product. Technological developments like cryogenics and the increased demand for frozen foods are further contributing to the high demand for refrigerated transportation systems in the country. Moreover, refrigerated transportation service providers are focusing on improving their supply chain efficiency and cold storage facilities. The leading companies are also using radio frequency identification (RFID), Bluetooth and other newly introduced technologies, such as drone delivery and driverless vehicles, to enhance the efficiency of the logistics services.
