Growth In Cold Chain Logistics
During the historic period, the transport cases and boxes market was mainly driven by the growth in cold chain logistics. The steady expansion of cold chain networks increased the demand for durable and insulated transport cases designed to safeguard temperature-sensitive goods such as food, pharmaceuticals and vaccines during long-distance transportation. These cases play a crucial role in maintaining consistent temperatures, preventing spoilage and ensuring product safety across storage and transit stages. For instance, in January 2025, the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing (CFLP), China's national logistics association responsible for promoting logistics development and standards, reported that China's total demand for cold chain logistics reached 365 million tons in 2024, marking a 4.3% year-on-year increase, while annual revenue rose to CNY 536.1 billion (approximately USD 73.19 billion). The report also highlighted continued investment in infrastructure, energy efficiency and intelligent monitoring systems aimed at improving cold chain efficiency and sustainability. Therefore, the transport cases and boxes market was mainly driven by the growth in cold chain logistics.
