A strong growth in the life sciences and food industries across the Asia Pacific region is creating exciting opportunities for one of the most potential segments of the logistics industry - cold chain logistics. Accounting for around 60% of the global population, the Asia Pacific region represents a huge consumer base for both healthcare and food product suppliers. With rising disposable incomes and ageing population, the healthcare expenditure in the region is exhibiting strong growth rates and remains integral to the growth prospects of multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. This has resulted in a rising demand for temperature sensitive healthcare products such as vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, clinical trial materials, etc. Moreover, catalysed by rising incomes and a shift in dietary patterns, there is a rising demand for premium produce- including meat, seafood, fruits, vegetables, dairy, etc. These are products that are also temperature sensitive and need to be stored and transported at controlled temperatures. Furthermore, there are also increasing concerns over food safety, and a continuous shift in consumer habits to buy fresh and frozen food products from organised retail channels such as supermarkets compared to the traditional wet markets. The growth of e-commerce and online food retail has also catalysed the demand for frozen food. These trends have driven the demand of cold storage facilities in the region and bolstered further investments in ongoing infrastructure improvements.
