The Global Cold Chain Monitoring Market was valued at USD 7.2 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.1% to reach USD 22.2 billion by 2035.
Rising consumption of perishable foods, including fresh produce, meat, seafood, dairy, frozen meals, and ready-to-eat items, has intensified the demand for precise temperature control throughout supply chains. As delivery cycles become shorter and distribution networks broaden, companies face growing pressure to prevent product damage and maintain quality. Every shipment now requires complete traceability and strict temperature adherence, especially as global trade in perishables expands. Cold-chain monitoring has become essential for reducing waste and preserving freshness while meeting heightened expectations for safety and consistency. The need for accurate temperature oversight is even more critical in the pharmaceutical sector, where biologics, vaccines, and specialized therapies depend on tightly regulated temperature ranges. With the increasing adoption of temperature-sensitive treatments, manufacturers and distributors rely heavily on real-time, validated monitoring tools that offer alerts and audit-ready data. The accelerated deployment of digital systems during public health emergencies has further cemented real-time cold-chain oversight as a priority within the pharmaceutical landscape.
The hardware segment held a 60% share in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.4% from 2026 to 2035. Cold-chain operations depend on large quantities of physical monitoring devices, temperature probes, GPS units, data loggers, humidity sensors, telematics tools, and door-status detectors installed across warehouses, refrigerated transport, containers, and last-mile equipment. Because every pallet, shipment, and storage point requires continuous tracking, hardware demand grows faster than software adoption, ensuring its leading market position.
The frozen segment accounted for a 56% share in 2025 and is projected to grow at a 12.4% CAGR through 2035. Products stored at frozen temperatures, including certain pharmaceuticals, biologics, and temperature-sensitive foods, must remain within tightly controlled environments. Even the smallest deviation can compromise safety or effectiveness, prompting companies to invest in continuous monitoring, high-accuracy sensors, and reliable real-time reporting throughout the supply chain.
U.S. Cold Chain Monitoring Market generated USD 2.3 billion in 2025. The country’s extensive network of refrigerated storage facilities and temperature-controlled transportation promotes strong adoption of monitoring systems. The scale of perishable food distribution, alongside strict requirements for fresh produce, packaged foods, frozen items, biologics, and advanced pharmaceuticals, reinforces the need for real-time visibility. High product variety, long transport distances, and retailer performance standards consistently elevate demand for accurate cold-chain tracking technologies.
Companies active in the Global Cold Chain Monitoring Market include Testo, Controlant, Cold Chain Technologies, Digi International, Sensitech, Zebra Technologies, Descartes Systems, Emerson Electric, Honeywell International, and ORBCOMM. Companies competing in the Cold Chain Monitoring Market strengthen their position by expanding hardware portfolios, enhancing sensor accuracy, and integrating advanced connectivity features into their product lines. Many firms focus on developing real-time platforms that combine temperature tracking, geolocation, and automated alerts to support regulatory compliance and reduce spoilage risk. Strategic collaborations with logistics providers and pharmaceutical manufacturers help vendors embed monitoring solutions deeper within supply chains.
