With the increasing variety of goods storage and transportation, some goods are easy to be affected by external temperature, humidity and other conditions during storage and transportation. In order to maintain the original quality and value of perishable goods, cold chain logistics arise at the moment. Cold chain logistics service mainly covers the following aspects:
01 pharmaceutical market
In general, the circulation of medicines required to be stored at low temperatures (2 to 8 degrees) falls under the category of pharmaceutical refrigerated logistics.
According to the data, the sales of the cold collection are usually three to eight percent of our pharmaceutical sales, Although the proportion is not too large, but there has been a gradual increase in recent years. And with the further management of the national drug laws and regulations in place, Pharmaceutical cold chain logistics will become a key area in China's pharmaceutical logistics industry
In the hot background of the pharmaceutical industry, the total market demand of pharmaceutical cold storage logistics will reach nearly 10 billion yuan. However, there are few enterprises in China that can provide suitable cold storage logistics services to customers. Therefore, the field of pharmaceutical cold storage logistics can be regarded as another effective development space of China's pharmaceutical logistics industry.
02 Cold drink market
China's total consumption of cold drinks increased from 550,000 tons in the 1990s to 1.47 million tons in 2002. Seasonal differences in consumption are gradually disappearing, But compared with the world's average level and the developed countries, the gap is very big, has a very big potential market. According to the research of Shanghai food research institute, the production and sales of cold drinks are still on the rise.
China's cold drink production enterprises are mainly concentrated in the economically developed east China, north China and south central regions. At present, Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai and northeast China are the four regions with the highest concentration of production and sales volume
03 meat
According to relevant statistics, domestic meat consumption increased from 63.73 million tons in 2001 to about 10 million tons in 2010. The market continues to maintain a steady upward trend. It is predictable that there is still plenty of space for future growth. China's meat processing industry has experienced the market start-up stage, and now is in the growth period.The characteristics of this stage is a fast-growing consumer group, but the per capital share of meat products is much lower than developed countries
04 Quick-frozen food
Market frozen food is a new type of food called that using modern quick-frozen technology, quickly freeze under - 25 ℃, and then stored in - 18 ℃ or lower temperature and transported over long-distance. Common frozen food like frozen dumplings, tangyuan, quick-frozen steamed buns, etc. Frozen food is very strict with storage transportation, must ensure that the under - 18 ℃. At present, a specialized, socialized and continuously adaptable quick-frozen food refrigeration distribution system has not been formed. The market prospect remains positive.
05 Dairy products
Under the general situation of refrigerated logistics market, the fresh milk produced needs to be transported to the dairy factory for processing, which belongs to the product with strict freshness requirements and should be delivered every day. If the transport is not appropriate, it will lead to the deterioration of fresh milk, causing significant losses.
Cold chain transport has always been an important part of the transport industry. With the development of the country, the refrigeration technology also develops rapidly, and the cold-chain logistics develops rapidly with the trend, gradually becoming a large part of the logistics industry. How to keep up with the development trend of cold chain transportation is a question that every transport practitioner should consider.
