Cold chain innovations entail the creation and application of novel technologies, tactics, and methodologies in the protection of temperature-sensitive products, such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and more. While cold chains are commonly associated with the simple refrigeration of goods, the emergence of technologies like IoT and AI and advancements in packaging tech have broadened cold chains’ applications, enhancing their efficiency, minimizing waste, and achieving cost savings. 

Cold chain innovations are crucial to meet the changing demands on cold chain performance, driven by factors such as the growth of the frozen food market, shifts in consumer dietary preferences, and globalization of food systems.
