Warehousing And Storage Market Growth Drivers: What’s Behind The Acceleration?
The warehousing and storage market is anticipated to expand due to the rising demand for refrigerated warehousing and storage facilities. These facilities are buildings equipped with specialized cooling or refrigeration systems to maintain low temperatures. They improve the warehousing process by handling temperature-sensitive products, expanding the customer base, and complying with stringent regulations. For example, in February 2023, data from the US Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service, a US-based government agency, indicated a 13% increase in frozen poultry inventories stored in refrigerated warehouses compared to January 2022, while frozen fruit inventories saw a 17% rise year over year, underscoring the increasing use of temperature-controlled storage capacity. Consequently, the growing need for refrigerated warehousing and storage is fostering the development of the warehousing and storage market.
