A Refrigerated Warehouse is an important segment of the supply chain that involves the storage of temperature-sensitive goods. Refrigerated storage helps in storage of perishable goods during cold chain supply. On the Basis of temperature ranges maintained, refrigerated warehouses can be segmented into two categories: Cold storage (coolers) and frozen storage (freezers). Cold storage areas usually maintain temperatures between 0-10 °C (32-50°F), while frozen storage areas maintain temperatures lower than 0°C (32°F).

The market has witnessed an evolutionary change over the last few years. It has shifted from mere storage of food products in cold storage warehouses and their refrigerated transportation to the provision of value-added services to customers. Some of these value-added services include disaster recovery services, specialized services for specific customers, and web interfaces that improve the customer interface with suppliers as it enables them to track shipments throughout the supply chain.

The analysts forecast the Global Refrigerated Warehousing market to grow at a CAGR of 14.27 percent over the period 2013-2018.

The report, Global Refrigerated Warehousing Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers North America, Europe, the APAC region, and ROW; it also covers the Global Refrigerated Warehousing market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

One of the emerging trends being witnessed in the market is the focus on energy-efficient practices. The vendors in the industry are adopting various tools and strategies to be more energy efficient. The new trend in the industry is the usage of CO2 Cascade Systems, whereby two refrigerants are used in one refrigeration system, and one refrigerant cools the other refrigerant.

According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the rise in organized retail. Over the years, there has been an increase in the number of consumers purchasing grocery items that include frozen and chilled food from organized retail stores, which use better storage system technology, which includes better refrigeration and provides consumers with convenience and food that is safe to consume.

Further, the report states that one major challenge hindering the growth of the market is the high energy consumption costs that have increased the operational costs of the vendors. The increasing competition among the vendors and the increasing demand for cold storage has exerted additional pressure on the vendors to expand their logistics facilities, which is difficult with the increasing real estate prices.
