The growing world population, expected to be 11 billion by end of year 2100, from 1 billion year 1800, improved average income, increased consumption, increased demands on food safety, increased level of “wellbeing” diseases and adding a COVID-19 that will be with us for years to come and a demand picture is starting to shape.

Carriers, Forwarders and OEMs need to get ready to meet the global demand for refrigerated products, including foods, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. Research indicates that refrigerated shipping will experience fast growth in the next couple of years.

Shipping companies will need to expand their fleets of trucks and shipping containers as well as climate-controlled warehouses. To that, they need to apply advanced technology such as IoT applications, Machine learning and Predictive analytics
