Like refrigerated transport, cold storage is part of the cold logistics sector. It is the intermediate storage stage between the goods leaving the factory and the logistics platform to avoid breaking the cold chain.
A cold store is a building that stores perishable goods at low temperatures. The products concerned fall into two categories:
Food products (meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, fruit, and vegetables);
Pharmaceutical products.
Cold storage can be
Positive cold (between 0°C and 15°C);
Negative cold (below 0°C);
Multi-temperature (positive or negative cold and storage of dry products).
The French warehousing and storage market is growing. Vast warehouses are increasingly sought-after and preferred to meet the ever-growing demand from e-commerce. But while the cold-storage market can rely on the boom in online food retailing, which is growing fast, cold-storage players have to contend with several obstacles to expansion, such as the growing appeal of fresh and local produce.
This segment is marginal, but short distribution channels are becoming increasingly popular. Another challenge facing the energy-intensive cold storage business is managing its energy costs.
