Cloud-Based Cold Chain Management Market Report 2026

The cloud-based cold chain management market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $11.5 billion in 2025 to $14.51 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of temperature-sensitive food supply chains, rising pharmaceutical cold storage requirements, increased adoption of basic tracking technologies, growth of global perishable trade, development of cloud computing infrastructure.

The cloud-based cold chain management market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $36.13 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing deployment of ai-driven cold chain optimization, rising regulatory enforcement on temperature compliance, expansion of vaccine and biologics logistics, growing adoption of private cloud deployments, increasing demand for proactive risk management. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of real-time temperature monitoring platforms, growing use of predictive analytics for spoilage prevention, expansion of cloud-based inventory visibility solutions, rising integration of iot-enabled cold chain sensors, enhanced focus on end-to-end cold chain transparency.

The rising demand for perishable goods is expected to propel the growth of the cloud-based cold chain management market going forward. Perishable goods are items, typically food or pharmaceuticals, that spoil, decay, or deteriorate quickly and require proper storage conditions to maintain their quality and safety. The demand for perishable goods is due to the growing consumer preference for fresh, natural, and minimally processed foods and the rising need for temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals. As health-conscious lifestyles gain momentum, consumers increasingly opt for organic produce, dairy products, seafood, and ready-to-eat meals, which require strict cold chain management to maintain freshness and quality. Cloud-based cold chain management plays a crucial role in perishable goods management by ensuring real-time monitoring, improved efficiency, and reduced spoilage throughout the supply chain. For instance, in December 2024, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an Italy-based agricultural data body of United Nations, world fruit and vegetable production reached 2.1 billion tonnes, up 1 percent from 2022, and global production of roots and tubers increased by 2 percent between 2022 and 2023. Therefore, the rising demand for perishable goods is driving the growth of the cloud-based cold chain management market.

Major companies operating in the cloud-based cold chain management market are focusing on developing innovative technologies, such as AI-based cold chain logistics marketplace, to optimize route planning, enhance real-time temperature monitoring, and automate logistics operations. An AI-based cold chain logistics marketplace is a platform that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to facilitate the management, optimization, and monitoring of temperature-sensitive goods during transportation and storage. For instance, in February 2025, Elixia Inc., an India-based technology company, launched Elixia Connect, a cold chain logistics marketplace designed to streamline the transportation of temperature-sensitive goods like pharmaceuticals, fresh produce, dairy, and confectionery. The platform connects shippers and transporters, offering on-demand, temperature-controlled vehicle placement with real-time tracking, automated temperature monitoring, and AI-driven route optimization.

In March 2025, Cold Chain Technologies, a Lebanon-based provider of advanced thermal packaging and digital monitoring solutions, acquired Global Cold Chain Solutions for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition allows Cold Chain Technologies to leverage Global Cold Chain Solutions’ established network and expertise in temperature-sensitive product transportation and storage, furthering its ability to deliver innovative and reliable cold chain solutions across diverse industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, and biotechnology. Global Cold Chain Solutions is an Australia-based provider of passive cold chain solutions.
