The Refrigerated Transport Market Continues to Expand
The refrigerated Transport Market is expected to grow 6.37% from 2023 to 2028
The refrigerated transport market is growing to meet the demand for shipping temperature-sensitive goods like perishable foods and chemicals. And home deliveries have been steadily increasing for years which adds to the growth in the refrigerated freight sector. Reefer freight is a crital part of supply chains and is expected to grow even more over the next five years.
Recent research indicates that fish, meat and seafood will hold the dominant market share of refrigerated transport. Dairy continues to be in high demand and will also make up a lot of this segment. So far in 2023, potatoes have lead the way in North American refrigerated truck volumes according to the USDA.

One of the driving factors behind the growth of the refrigerated transport market is the increasing demand for fresh produce, meat, and dairy products year-round. In the past, consumers were limited to buying these items only during certain seasons or in certain geographic regions. But thanks to advancements in refrigeration technology and transportation logistics, these goods can now be shipped from nearly anywhere in the world.
Another factor contributing to the growth of the refrigerated transport market is the increased focus on food safety and quality. With more and more consumers looking for organic, non-GMO, and locally-sourced products, the need for temperature-controlled transportation and storage is more important than ever.
Working with an experienced freight broker can be critical for efficient and safe refrigerated transport. Many of the items require specific temperature and humidity conditions in order to maintain their integrity during transportation.
