Global Refrigerated Warehousing Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing integration of mobile technologies in warehouses

Refrigerated warehouses are progressively using mobile technologies to monitor warehouse operations proficiently. Mobile technology includes using mobile printers, tablets, smartphones, and other handheld devices for information and communication. These devices use VoIP, digital imaging, GPS, RFID, and voice technology. These devices give warehouse managers access to performance reports and equipment status and allow them to track warehouse operations around the clock. Thus, the increasing integration of mobile technologies in warehouses will likely propel market growth.

• Growing demand for convenience and frozen food products

Increasing millennial consumption of convenience and frozen food products such as patties, fries, and nuggets is another major factor for the market growth. The working population worldwide is shifting toward frozen convenience and frozen food. More than ever, people are eating frozen foods, generating demand for refrigerated warehouses for such products to maintain their shelf life. Moreover, the increasing demand for such products will increase the demand for refrigerated warehouses.

Opportunities
