Investment in Integrated Cold Chain
infrastructure is Aggressive among Chinese Food
Industry Players
2

• The Chinese food industry is reportedly suffering
  losses as the vegetables and fruits in transit
  perish faster because of lack of proper cold
  chain infrastructure.
• Additionally, the demand for online availability
  of fresh food is increasing in China, thereby
  forcing the suppliers to develop integrated cold
  chain logistics structure.
• Ken Research announced its latest publication on,
  Research Report on China Cold Chain Logistics
  Industry, 2016-2020, which offers detailed
  insights into the trends of the Chinese cold
  chain logistics industry. The publication
  includes an overview of the cold chain logistics
  industry in China, explaining various related
  concepts such as its structure, characteristics
  and existing problems. In addition, the research
  traces the development of the cold chain
  logistics industry in China. The research also
  throws light on the economic and policy
  environment of the Cold chain logistics industry
  along with the market forces driving supply and
  demand.

• The cold chain industry in China is still at its
  nascent stage. However, it is projected to report
  fast growth as the food industry in the country
  is under the pressure of increasing demand.
  Currently, fruits and vegetables in China are
  wasted in large amounts as they perish while in
  transit. This becomes an unwanted overheard
  expense for the fresh food retailers such
  hypermarkets and supermarkets. Not only wastage
  of food and losses for retailers, another side
  effect of an underdeveloped cold chain logistics
  industry is the spread of diseases caused from
  bad or decayed food. In fact, food decaying is
  the primary reason for food safety risks and also
  waste of resources.

• Over the past few years, residents of China have
  become increasingly aware about the risk of
  consuming bad food and thus have started paying
  close attention to the food they pick. This has
  further added to the burden of retailers. Thus,
  there is an urgent need for developing a
  well-managed and integrated cold chain logistics
  industry so that shelf-life and marketable time
  could be lengthened or even doubled. Research
  reveals that f the shelf life of perishable
  products like vegetables and fruits was extended
  from one day to three days, fresh food retailers'
  loss would decrease 30-50.

• The need for investments in the cold chain
  logistics industry is also propelled by the
  quantity of food being sold and produced in
  China. In 2015, meat production in China exceeded
  80.0 million tons, vegetable 700.0 million tons,
  fruit 260.0 million tons, dairy products 27.0
  million tons and seafood 60.0 million tons.
  Besides, large amount of meat and frozen food are
  produced every year in China too. Temperature
  fluctuation in cold storage and transport is one
  of the main reasons for food quality decline. To
  ensure those perishable foods' freshness and
  quality, cold chain logistics is needed.

6

• Food E-business is also fast growing in China.
  While the e-retailers of food rarely invest
  themselves in the cold chain logistics, they
  force the distributors to upgrade so that the
  food they are selling online is fresh and of the
  best quality. As of now, Tmall and JD, two of the
  popular e-food businesses are lagging far behind
  in their cold chain logistics system such as
  warehouse, logistics delivery system and door to
  door delivery system. As such, the cold chain
  industry in China is divided into two categories
  cold chain artery and the cold chain home delivery

7

• And cold chain logistics is the sub-industry of
  logistics with the largest potential market
  despite its complex operation and high barrier to
  entry. Cold chain logistics will be one of the
  fastest growing sub-industries of logistics in
  China in the next few years if the demand for
  cold chain and its development space in China
  were taken into account.
• Global Cold Chain Logistics Industry
• Cold chain is an uninterrupted series of harvest,
  processing, packaging, storage, transport and
  sale activities which maintain a given
  temperature range. It is used to help extend and
  ensure the shelf life of perishable products.

8

• Some forces driving the fast growth of the global
  cold chain industry include
• Food trade transcending national and
  international borders
• Large number of food e-businesses
• Stricter safety standards for food that can be
  sold
• Increases awareness amongst the people regarding
  side effects of decayed food
• Increased possibilities of IT-integration
• Key Topics Covered in the Report
• Development environment facing cold chain
  logistics in China
• Supply and demand status of cold chain logistics
  in China
• Industrial chain of cold chain logistics in China
• Major cold chain logistics equipment
  manufacturers in China
• Cold chain e-business enterprises in China
• Prospects of cold chain logistics in China
• Investment opportunity in cold chain logistics
  industry in China
