Cold Chain Monitoring Global Market Report 2024

The global cold chain monitoring market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.52 billion in 2023 to $6.44 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to various factors, including the demand for fresh produce, the growth of the healthcare industry, a focus on quality and safety assurance, the optimization of supply chains, and the evolution of the logistics industry.

The global cold chain monitoring market is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.82 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising global demand, expanding pharmaceutical industry, regulatory stringency, a focus on food safety, integration of blockchain, and sustainability initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include addressing pharmaceutical supply chain demands and a heightened focus on sustainability.

The surge in demand for pharmaceutical products is anticipated to be a driving force behind the growth of the cold chain monitoring market. Pharmaceutical products, vital for the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or cure of diseases, require stringent temperature control during transportation. Cold chain monitoring ensures that the internal environment remains consistently cold, unaffected by external temperatures, facilitating the safe transport of pharmaceutical goods. For example, in the fiscal year 2021-22, India's drug and pharmaceutical exports escalated to $24.62 billion, as reported in the annual report by the Government of India, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, Department of Pharmaceuticals. This underscores the escalating demand for pharmaceuticals, acting as a catalyst for the cold chain monitoring market.

The increasing proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is set to contribute significantly to the growth of the cold chain monitoring market. IoT devices, which are nonstandard computing devices capable of wireless network connectivity, play a pivotal role in real-time monitoring of temperature and environmental conditions within the cold chain. This real-time visibility is crucial for promptly identifying and rectifying any deviations from the prescribed temperature range. According to a report by IoT Analytics, the global number of IoT connections witnessed an 8% surge, reaching 12.2 billion active endpoints in September 2021. Projections indicate that by 2025, there will be over 30 billion IoT connections, translating to nearly four IoT devices per person on average. Consequently, the escalating number of IoT devices is fostering growth within the cold chain monitoring market.

Technological advancements represent a noteworthy trend gaining momentum in the cold chain monitoring market. Major companies in this sector are introducing cutting-edge technologies to fortify their market standing. For instance, in 2022, Disrupt-X, a UAE-based IoT development company, unveiled an IoT-based cold storage monitoring solution. This solution employs Sigfox/Lora WAN-based devices to regularly transmit accurate humidity and temperature data to the cloud platform and mobile app, enabling users to monitor fluctuations in cold storage conditions remotely.

Innovative product development remains a focal point for major companies engaged in cold chain monitoring. Monitoring and decision-support systems, comprehensive technology solutions designed for observation, data collection, analysis, and insights into various processes or systems, are being introduced. Tridentify, a Sweden-based international cold-chain monitoring solutions provider, launched an advanced real-time cold chain monitoring system in May 2023. This groundbreaking innovation continuously monitors the stability and shelf life of products during their journey in the cold chain, revolutionizing how companies oversee their operations, particularly in the context of pharmaceutical products.

In September 2021, GI Partners, a private investment management firm based in the United States, successfully completed the acquisition of Orbcomm Inc. for an estimated $1.1 billion, encompassing net debt. This strategic acquisition remains instrumental in fostering innovation within the industrial Internet of Things (IoT), particularly through the provision of cutting-edge cold chain monitoring solutions. Orbcomm, the acquired entity, is a prominent US-based provider specializing in delivering comprehensive solutions for cold chain monitoring, industrial IoT, and machine-to-machine communications. The acquisition not only strengthens Orbcomm's position in the market but also aligns with a long-term vision for sustained strategic growth.
