The cloud-based cold chain management market is set to grow from $9.12 billion in 2024 to $11.52 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 26.3%. Fueled by innovations in IoT, AI, and blockchain, the market is driven by increasing demand for perishable goods, emphasizing real-time monitoring and optimized logistics. The market size has grown exponentially in recent years and is expected to grow to $28.87 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.9%. This growth is attributed to increasing demand for quality food, rising hygiene standards, increasing demand for processed food, increasing penetration of organized retail in emerging nations, and increasing IT spending in cold chain logistics. Major trends include advancements in AI and machine learning, blockchain for secure and tamper-proof supply chain records, cloud-based solutions, IoT-enabled sensors, and real-time tracking technologies. The forecast growth rate shows a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries, which may inflate operational expenses for cloud-based cold chain platforms, risking data latency and spoilage control. The growing demand for perishable goods such as food and pharmaceuticals is driving market growth, as consumers increasingly prefer fresh, natural, and minimally processed foods. Cloud-based cold chain management is vital for maintaining freshness and quality through real-time monitoring and enhanced efficiency. For example, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported a 1% increase in global fruit and vegetable production in 2022, reaching 2.1 billion tons. Leading companies are developing advanced technologies like AI-based cold chain logistics marketplaces to optimize route planning, improve real-time temperature monitoring, and automate logistics operations. Elixia Inc. launched Elixia Connect in February 2025, a platform that connects shippers and transporters, offering on-demand, temperature-controlled vehicle placement, real-time tracking, automated temperature monitoring, and AI-driven route optimization. In March 2025, Cold Chain Technologies acquired Global Cold Chain Solutions to expand its global reach and enhance its capabilities in pharmaceuticals, food, and biotechnology.
