According to the latest statistics from the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (hereinafter referred to as the "China Federation of Things"), China's total cold chain demand is expected to increase by more than 6% year-on-year in 2023, and the total revenue of cold chain logistics is expected to increase by 5% year-on-year2%。This trend shows that with the continuous expansion of the domestic consumer market and the continuous improvement of cold chain technology, the cold chain logistics industry is ushering in new development opportunities.
First, the demand for cold chain has rebounded steadily.
According to the statistics of the Cold Chain Logistics Committee of the China Federation of Things, the total demand for cold chain in China is expected to reach 3 in 2023500 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 61%。This growth is mainly due to the continuous expansion of the domestic consumer market and the rapid development of fresh food, medicine and other industries. At the same time, with the improvement of people's living standards and the enhancement of health awareness, the demand for high-quality, safe and fresh food and medicine is also increasing, which further promotes the development of the cold chain logistics industry.
Second, the development of cold chain logistics infrastructure has been accelerated.
Driven by the gradual stabilization and recovery of cold chain demand, the development of cold chain-related logistics infrastructure is also accelerating. The number of refrigerated trucks is expected to reach 43 in 202310,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 128%；The total amount of cold storage is expected to reach 22.8 billion cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 83%。The increase and improvement of these infrastructures provide more stable, efficient and reliable transportation and storage conditions for the cold chain logistics industry, and further enhance the service quality and competitiveness of the industry.
Third, the cold chain logistics industry ushered in new opportunities.
With the growth of cold chain demand and the improvement of infrastructure, the cold chain logistics industry is ushering in new development opportunities. On the one hand, the support of national policies and the increase in market demand provide a good environment for the development of the industryOn the other hand, the continuous innovation and progress of technology has provided new impetus for the development of the industry. For example, the application of technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence will further improve the operational efficiency and service quality of the cold chain logistics industry.
Fourth, the outlook of the industry.
In the future, with the further expansion of the domestic consumer market and the continuous innovation of technology, China's cold chain logistics industry will continue to maintain stable growth. At the same time, the industry will face more opportunities and challenges. Enterprises need to continuously improve their service quality and competitiveness, and strengthen technological innovation and application to adapt to the changes and development trends of market demand.
To sum up, China's cold chain demand will increase by more than 6% in 2023, and the cold chain logistics industry will usher in new opportunities. Enterprises should seize this development opportunity, strengthen technological innovation and application, and improve service quality and competitiveness to achieve the sustainable development of the industry.
