2025.01.03

Behind the rapidly developing catering industry, cold chain logistics is gradually becoming the "lifeline" that connects the dining table with the fields. From fresh fruits and vegetables to frozen foods, from seafood to meat products, cold chain logistics not only ensures the freshness and safety of ingredients but also promotes the upgrading and optimization of the entire catering supply chain. Food and Beverage Exhibition will delve into the upgrades of cold chain logistics in terms of scale, innovation and technological advancement, revealing how cold chain logistics leads the trend of the new catering era.

 

Cold Chain Logistics: Dual Growth in Scale and Demand

 

According to a survey by the Cold Chain Logistics Committee of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing(CFLP), in the first three quarters, the overall demand for the cold chain logistics industry has steadily increased, and the market size continues to expand. The total volume of cold chain logistics was 64 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.2%. This data not only reflects the rapid expansion of the industry scale but also highlights the important role of cold chain logistics in ensuring food safety and improving supply chain efficiency.

 

The recovery of the catering industry is an important driving force for the increase in demand for cold chain logistics. In the first three quarters, catering revenue was 3.9415 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.2%. As consumers' demands for food safety and quality increase, the position of cold chain logistics in the catering supply chain becomes more important. Especially with the rise of fresh e-commerce, higher requirements are put forward for cold chain logistics.

 

Innovation Leadership: The Green Revolution of New Energy Refrigerated Vehicles

 

In the field of cold chain logistics, the rise of new energy refrigerated vehicles has become a bright spot. In the first three quarters, the sales volume of new energy refrigerated vehicles was 9,257 units, a year-on-year increase of 230.96%, with a penetration rate of 22.4%. This trend not only reflects the green development concept of the cold chain logistics industry but also highlights the broad application prospects of new energy technology in the logistics field.

 

The promotion and use of new energy refrigerated vehicles not only reduce operating costs but also reduce environmental pollution. With the continuous increase of the proportion of new energy refrigerated vehicle equipment updates in first-tier cities, green logistics will become the new normal in the cold chain logistics industry.

 

Future Outlook: Technologization and Intelligentization of Cold Chain Logistics

 

The cold chain logistics industry will continue to develop in the direction of technologization and intelligentization. With the continuous development of emerging technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, cold chain logistics will achieve more accurate and efficient operations and management. At the same time, the concept of green and low-carbon development will also run through the entire chain of cold chain logistics, promoting the sustainable development of the industry.

 

Experts believe that the future development of the cold chain logistics industry is inseparable from technological and model innovation. By strengthening the construction of cold chain infrastructure, improving the quality of cold chain logistics services, and promoting the standardization and regulation of the industry, cold chain logistics will better serve the development needs of the catering, food, and other industries, bringing consumers a safer, fresher, and more convenient food experience.

 

Conclusion

 

As the "lifeline" connecting the dining table with the fields, cold chain logistics plays an irreplaceable role in ensuring food safety and improving supply chain efficiency. With the rapid development of the catering industry and the continuous improvement of consumer demands, the cold chain logistics industry will usher in a broader development prospect. In the future, cold chain logistics will continue to lead with technology and green as the base color, promoting the transformation, upgrading, and high-quality development of the entire industry.
