The MEA cold chain market is anticipated to reach USD 11.45 billion by 2025,
according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Improving the packaging
of crops has become essential owing to the expansion of trade over the past few
years. As such, the materials used for packaging play a significant role in
enhancing the storage life.
Pre-cooling refers to the optimal storage
temperature of crops to reduce the metabolic and microbiological changes.
Moreover, proper storage extends the shelf-life of crops before they are
consumed. Various cooling methods include forced air cooling, vacuum cooling,
room cooling, package icing, and hydro cooling. Factors determining the selection
of pre-cooling methods include convenience, economy, and utilization of the
existing equipment.
Increasing usage of devices such as RFID
readers and barcode scanners to streamline inventory and shipping management
have enabled service providers to penetrate into the emerging markets. Healthy
and innovative packaged foods along with organic products are gaining traction
in the market. Additionally, the increasing focus on processing food locally
rather than depending on the imports of processed food is also likely to
positively impact the segment demand over the projected period. Food producers
are laying their focus on importing raw ingredients and manufacturing finished
products within the region.
However, the lack of access to adequate
transportation infrastructure, confusing rules and regulations, coupled with
legal and illegal fees throughout the business process in the African region
are anticipated to restrain the market demand. Due to lack of transparency in
government regulations, the investments made by cold chain providers across
Africa are decreasing.
