What’s Up with Today’s Cold Chain?
The cold chain is the logistics network that uses refrigeration to provide uninterrupted, temperature-controlled transport and storage of perishable goods from producer to consumer. It impacts human life every day – helping to ensure that the foods we eat reach tables around the world, and medications can be safely moved for patient use and clinical trials, all while helping to alleviate global hunger and reduce the environmental and societal impact of food waste.
Carrier and AWS understand that reliable, accessible cold chain technology is vital to help preserve, protect and deliver foods and medicines; reduce food waste; and care for a growing planet. According to Allied Market Research, the cold chain logistics market is set to experience rapid growth over the next five years, swelling into a half-trillion-dollar industry by 2026. Cold chain packaging alone will command around $40 billion of that growth.
