Netherlands Cold Chain Logistics Market Analysis
The Netherlands Cold Chain Logistics Market size is estimated at USD 4.07 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 6.63 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.25% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The Netherlands is strategically located in Europe, connecting to major European Union countries. Being a maritime country, there are big ports that contribute to the logistics sector of the country. In cold chain logistics, temperature-sensitive products are transported via refrigerated packaging solutions. As of January 2021, the Netherlands transportation and logistics industry saw year-on-year growth of 6% by the financial year-end. The warehousing and storage industry is projected to have a revenue of more than US 11 million dollars by 2024. The E-commerce industry has been driving the logistics sector in the Netherlands. The E-commerce industry operating in the cold storage segment includes buying online groceries and other frozen food like meat and beverages.
Because of the COVID-19 impact, an increase in online shopping in the essential segment, which constitutes frozen food and meat, was observed. Apart from e-commerce, pharmaceuticals is another sector where the country is witnessing demand for cold storage solutions. E-commerce is also driving the demand for a wide range of temperature-sensitive products, such as fresh produce, prepared foods, and pharmaceuticals. These products require specialized handling and transportation to ensure that they are kept at the correct temperature throughout the supply chain. For example, the demand for online grocery shopping has increased significantly in recent years. This has led to a growing demand for cold chain logistics services for the transportation and storage of temperature-sensitive food products.
For instance, in 2022, Albert Heijn, one of the largest retailers in the Netherlands, announced a partnership with HSF Logistics to provide cold chain logistics services for its online grocery business. The partnership will allow Albert Heijn to deliver temperature-sensitive food products to its customers throughout the Netherlands. As e-commerce continues to grow, the demand for cold-chain logistics services is expected to increase as well.
