GELIAT RANTAI DINGIN DI US
Kondisi industri rantai dingin di US tetap menjadi topik hangat. Walaupun perang teluk masih berlangsung, tahun 2026 ini menjadi tahun pivotal karena permintaan naik dan teknologi menjadi matang,
Ukuran pasar di Amerika Serikat saat ini (tahun 2026) diprediksi sebesar US$ 97.13 milyar dan diproyeksikan di tahun 2031 menjadi US$ 133.87 milyar dengan CAGR 6.63%.
Sementara itu pasar cold chain storage & distribusi global di tahun 2025 ada di US$ 250.4 milyar akan naik menjadi US$ 480.7 milyar. Amerika Utara pegang pangsa pasar terbesar. Sedangkan pharma cold chain tumbuh pesat karena keperluan biologics, terapi sel & gen, dan mRNA vaksin yang butuh suhu ultra dingin (<-70’C)
Driver utama kondisi tahun 2026 ini:
- E-Grocery & Meal-kit tumbuh melesat dengan online bahan makanan, menambah +1.6% ke CAGR
- Pharma & Biotek, dengan terapi sel & gen mendorong +1.9% ke CAGR
- E-Commerce sebesar US$ 1.16 triliun di 2024 membuat last mile delivery berpendingin semakin kritikal
- Regulasi ketat dari FSMA 204 AS mewajibkan real-time traceability dorong adopsi IOT sensor dan telematics
- Fokus keberlanjutan, Perusahaan retrofit gudang pakai AI energy management, solar, LED untuk menghemat biaya dan ESG
COLD CHAIN EXCITEMENT IN THE US
The state of the cold chain industry in the US remains a hot topic. Despite the ongoing Gulf War, 2026 is a pivotal year due to rising demand and technological maturity.
The current market size in the United States (2026) is predicted to be US$97.13 billion and is projected to reach US$133.87 billion by 2031, with a CAGR of 6.63%.
Meanwhile, the global cold chain storage and distribution market in 2025 was US$250.4 billion, expected to grow to US$480.7 billion. North America holds the largest market share. Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical cold chain is growing rapidly due to the need for biologics, cell and gene therapies, and mRNA vaccines, which require ultra-cold temperatures (<-70°C).
Key drivers for 2026:
- E-Grocery & Meal-kit growth accelerates with online groceries adding +1.6% CAGR.
- Pharma & Biotech, with cell & gene therapy driving +1.9% CAGR.
- E-Commerce reaching US$1.16 trillion in 2024 makes refrigerated last-mile delivery increasingly critical.
- Strict regulations from the US FSMA 204 requiring real-time traceability drive the adoption of IoT sensors and telematics.
- Sustainability focus: Companies retrofit warehouses with AI energy management, solar, and LEDs to reduce costs and improve ESG.
