The Cold Chain Report is the Cold Chain Federation’s annual examination of trends impacting the UK’s cold chain sector. It offers a comprehensive assessment of the challenges faced by those handling and storing goods across all transportation modes and regions of the UK. As a vital component of the broader economy, the cold chain is essential for trade and growth. The data presented in this report underscores our call for collaboration with policymakers to maxmise the sector’s potential.
Now in its third iteration, the Cold Chain Report is the definitive guide to the UK cold chain. The 2023 edition has been downloaded over 2,000 times and is an essential resource for businesses, policymakers, regulators, and others looking to better understand the size and makeup of the UK’s temperature-controlled logistics industry.
