Refrigerated Transport Services Market size was valued at USD 20 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 30 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5% from 2026 to 2033.
The Refrigerated Transport Services Market in South Korea has been rapidly evolving, driven by soaring demand from food distribution, pharmaceutical logistics, and the rise of temperature-sensitive e-commerce products. With cold chain infrastructure becoming vital for quality assurance, companies are shifting toward specialized refrigerated logistics providers.
Industry insiders reveal that over 65% of refrigerated transport demand comes from food and beverage sectors—particularly dairy, meat, seafood, and ready-to-eat products. High consumer expectations for freshness and safety, especially in metropolitan regions like Seoul and Busan, are putting pressure on logistics firms to upgrade fleets with real-time temperature tracking and route optimization systems.
Pharmaceuticals account for approximately 20% of the total refrigerated transport volume. Cold chain logistics have become essential with the rising export of biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, and lab reagents, all requiring strict compliance with Good Distribution Practices (GDP). Based on personal experience consulting for a logistics startup in Incheon, I observed that pharma clients are increasingly seeking 2°C to 8°C and -20°C transport capabilities, along with temperature excursion reports for regulatory audits.
The remaining 15% demand is being reshaped by e-commerce. Online grocery platforms and specialty health food retailers are seeking flexible, scalable refrigerated transport solutions. During Korea’s annual Chuseok festival, for example, chilled gift sets flood the market, creating short-term spikes in demand for refrigerated vans and container trucks with controlled humidity levels.
Key requirements emerging across industries include:
GPS-enabled reefer trucks with dual-temperature zones
Eco-friendly and energy-efficient refrigeration units
Real-time monitoring dashboards with alert systems
Rapid response and re-routing capabilities in case of temperature breaches
Companies in the Refrigerated Transport Services Market are under pressure to offer precision, compliance, and scalability. The shift toward just-in-time delivery and fresh consumption is rewriting the playbook—those who adapt their fleets and operations for sector-specific needs are winning contracts and expanding nationwide.
