What is the future development prospect of cold chain logistics?

I. Rapid Development of Cold Chain Facilities

The rapid development of domestic cold chain logistics infrastructure is mainly reflected in the construction of cold storage facilities, improvement of cold storage technology and diversification of cold storage vehicles. The development trend of cold storage is mainly manifested in the following aspects: a batch of modern cold storage and cold chain logistics distribution centers adapted to the needs of regional economic development have been gradually established; the development of fruits and vegetables thermostatic air-control storage has been rapid, and the proportion of low-temperature storage will be further improved.

From the viewpoint of the development of railroad refrigerated transport vehicles, railroad refrigerated transport vehicles will be located in the long-distance transportation of deep-cooled high-quality goods and the long-distance transportation of low value-added refrigerated goods. Railroad refrigerated transport will focus on the development of the following categories of vehicles: can be linked with buses, adapted to intercity transportation of fast refrigerated cars, can adapt to the diversification of cargo categories and long-distance transportation of refrigerated containers, can meet the small batch of goods transported in a single section, the section of the machine refrigerated cars, can adapt to the large amount of transportation of the air-conditioned preservation of the car and refrigerated containers.

In the road refrigerated heat preservation vehicle development economy, the future of China's refrigerated truck market will be further analyzed and integrated, there is this trend of polarization: a small tonnage, for these short-distance and small batch production transport, such as supermarkets cold drinks, milk ice cream, refrigerated food and drugs used by distribution centers; the other is a large-capacity, large-tonnage, can be used mainly for enterprises to meet the needs of people's long-distance transportation The other one is large capacity and large tonnage, which can be mainly used for enterprises to meet people's long-distance transportation needs.

Second, the release of cold chain quality information and accountability

cold chain delivery will gradually realize closed operation. At present, the phenomenon of "broken chain" often occurs in cold chain logistics, which affects the quality and safety of products and greatly increases the loss of products. In addition, cold chain logistics lack of emergency measures. For example, there have been cases in which foodstuffs transported by law enforcement officers have deteriorated because they took too long to inspect illegal refrigerated transportation vehicles.

In order to prevent the above situation, it is necessary to link manufacturing enterprises, cold chain logistics enterprises and government regulators to implement closed operations: enterprises involved in cold chain logistics operations need to establish unified norms and standards, establish a dynamic quality tracking and monitoring system based on logistics information technology, and set up a perfect cold chain quality information dissemination and accountability system.

Integration of Cold Chain Logistics

Cold chain logistics will be integrated to form a complete system. Firstly, the construction of processing and distribution center will become a hot spot. Taking processing and distribution center as the core, it will extend to the upstream of frozen and refrigerated supply chain, so that downstream nodes such as supermarkets, chain supermarkets, convenience stores and the upstream of supply chain will have smoother communication, safer commodity procurement and supply, and effective prevention of supply chain rupture. Secondly, common distribution has become a trend. Co-distribution refers to the way of distributing multiple enterprises together in order to improve logistics efficiency. Co-distribution can improve the efficiency of vehicle loading and transportation and form a scale effect. In terms of distribution costs, co-distribution is more economical than factory direct transportation and general distribution, making it an ideal choice for the future.
