The global refrigerated food transport market is predicted to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Food transport refrigeration is a vital link in the food chain in terms of preserving the temperature of perishable products as well as its influence on energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Road transport refrigeration systems are essential to function consistently in much harsher surroundings than stationary refrigeration systems. 

The principle of the refrigerated preservation of foods is to reduce and maintain the temperature of the food in order to control, reduce, or stop the rate of deterioration of food. The food deterioration might occur due to physical and biochemical changes, due to microbiological parameters and also due to physiological such as ripening, senescence, and respiration. The effective refrigeration process reduces the effect of these changes; preserve the food with a long shelf-life and quality. The objective of cold chain management is to achieve the desired shelf life of a fresh product without the commonly perceived quality deterioration resulting from ice crystal formation. Thus, owing to such benefits offered by the refrigeration, the market is estimated to grow significantly during the forecast period. 

Segmental Outlook

The refrigerated food transport market is segmented on the basis of product type and mode of transportation. Based on the product type, the market is bifurcated into frozen food and chilled food.
