Frozen Food Demand as a Key Growth Driver in Refrigerated Transport
One of the major factors fueling the refrigerated transport market is the growing popularity of frozen food products. Freezing methods, which may include blanching, heat treatments, dipping, and cryoprotection depending on the food type, help preserve freshness and extend shelf life. Frozen foods are gaining traction because they provide convenient and affordable options for consumers to increase their vegetable intake and enjoy a variety of food products year-round.

For example, according to WahUstad, an Indian fresh frozen food manufacturer and supplier, the demand for frozen variants continues to rise. Additionally, in December 2023, Frozen Food Europe, a UK-based publication focused on the frozen food industry, reported that the global frozen food market was valued at USD 392.4 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow to USD 612.3 billion by 2032. This expanding frozen food market directly supports the growth of refrigerated transport services worldwide.

Regional Breakdown and Fastest Growing Markets in Refrigerated Transport
In 2025, Europe held the largest share of the refrigerated transport market, reflecting well-established cold chain infrastructure and mature supply networks. However, the Asia-Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing market throughout the forecast period. This growth is driven by rapid urbanization, increasing demand for fresh and frozen products, and expanding investments in cold chain logistics within the region.
