MENA Mobile Cold Storage Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2023-2030)

Mobile cold storage refers to a portable refrigeration system used for preserving and transporting temperature-sensitive goods, such as perishable food items, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive products. It typically consists of insulated containers or trailers equipped with cooling or freezing units, allowing for the regulation of the internal temperature. Moreover, continued investment in cold storage facilities, transportation fleets, and mobile cold storage units will help establish a robust and efficient cold chain network.

The MENA Mobile Cold Storage Market is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of 14.3% during the forecast period (2023-2030). This is mainly due to the surge in demand for fresh and frozen products and also unpreserved foods and pharmaceuticals. The MENA region is experiencing a rise in pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution. Many pharmaceutical products require specific temperature conditions to remain effective, making mobile cold storage an essential component in the distribution and storage of these products.

Based on the product type, the market is segmented into refrigerated containers, refrigerated vans, and others. The refrigerated containers category expected to grow with a higher CAGR during the forecast period in (2023-2030). This is mainly due to the growth of soilless farming in the MENA region. DWC suspends plant roots directly in a nutrient solution, promoting optimal nutrient uptake and oxygenation. This method is particularly beneficial in regions with high temperatures, such as the MENA countries, as the water serves as a heat sink, stabilizing root temperature.

By application, the market has been classified into food and beverages, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, chemicals, and other. The food and beverages category held a significant share of the market. This is mainly due to increasing demand for fresh and frozen food products, including fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, and seafood, requires an efficient cold chain infrastructure. The food and beverages industry heavily relies on mobile cold storage for catering services and events. Moreover, the rapid growth of e-commerce and online food delivery services requires reliable cold storage solutions.

For a better understanding of the market adoption of the mobile cold storage industry, the MENA market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, and the Rest of MENA. The UAE is expected to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The rising population and tourism has spurred the demand for reliable cold chain solutions. With Dubai and Abu Dhabi emerging as global trade hubs, the need for efficient and mobile cold storage options has become imperative. Moreover, the UAE's commitment to stringent health and safety regulations further fuels the adoption of advanced cold storage technologies.

Some of the major players operating in the market include: Coldroom.ae, Cold Box, Dometic Group AB (PUBL), Technical Supplies and Services Co LLC, Carrier, RSA, Triton, Refrigerated Transport Systems, Crateco Pack LLC, Harwal Group of Companies.
