In 2021, we sought potential business partners (customers, vendors, sales partners) in German-speaking countries (DACH) for our Portuguese client specializing in cold chain logistics solutions. This article includes our market impressions and information about our client’s profile.
As with the rest of the world, the cold chain logistics market in DACH countries is also experiencing growth. It is observed that experienced companies in the market are updating themselves and adapting to digital systems. However, it is also true that processes in the logistics of temperature-sensitive products are still open to development. This market situation will continue to be attractive for technical solution providers like the Portuguese company RØZ.
Impression of the cold chain logistics market in German-speaking countries
The cold chain logistics sector is growing due to increasing consumer spending on food, pharmaceuticals, and other products stored in temperature-controlled warehouses. These products are shipped from production areas to warehouses, retailers, and directly to customers via e-commerce.
Experienced companies in the market have additional advantages such as economies of scale, long-term customer relationships, complex regulatory compliance, and specialized digital operations. The sector involves higher costs compared to traditional warehousing.
Cold storage facilities serve large “blue-chip” clients, including food producers, distributors, retailers, and smaller family businesses. Another significant factor in the cold storage market is the increasing sensitivity of biological pharmaceuticals to temperature. This has led to a higher requirement for storing drugs at frozen temperatures. The market is expected to grow by 18.31% by 2026.
The DACH region, located in the heart of Europe, is the largest economy and a key logistics hub on the continent, offering world-class infrastructure and cutting-edge logistics services.
Over time, temperature-sensitive shipping models have become very complex due to various factors such as increased stakeholders, higher demand for temperature control products, and new regulations. As the complexity of the cold chain increases, it becomes more important for all involved to make solutions as consistent and straightforward as possible.
