Cold chain logistics refer to the transportation and warehousing of temperature-sensitive products from the point of origin to the point of consumption, ensuring that they are maintained at the required temperatures to increase shelf life and prevent spoilage. GSCSPL’s Cold Chain Logistics service facilitates market expansion for temperature-controlled goods, maintained between 2℃ to 8℃, not only in the Indian market but also across Asia and beyond. GSCSPL specializes in storing and transporting pharmaceuticals in accordance with each product’s specific storage and security requirements, maintaining cold chain integrity throughout every step of the delivery process.
The pharmaceutical cold chain has seen a surge in demand in recent years due to rapid advancements in biopharmaceuticals and regenerative medicine, a trend that has only accelerated with the rollout of vaccines and other treatments for COVID-19. The critical need to ensure that vaccines and other temperature-sensitive medical supplies reach their destinations without compromising their efficacy has highlighted the importance of robust cold chain logistics.
Originally established to serve the fresh, refrigerated, and frozen food industries, cold chain logistics focus on the timely distribution of products within a consistently controlled temperature and humidity environment. This system ensures quality preservation from the point of production to consumption. Today, the use of cold chain logistics has expanded beyond the food industry to include the transportation of electronic components such as semiconductors, as well as chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The demand for cold chain logistics is particularly strong in the Asia Pacific region, which accounts for around 60% of the global population. The region’s vast consumer base, combined with rising disposable incomes and shifting dietary patterns, has led to an increased demand for premium products, necessitating efficient cold chain logistics to transport these goods.
The impact of COVID-19 on cold chain operations in Asia has been significant, intensifying concerns over food safety and accelerating shifts in consumer habits. More consumers are now purchasing fresh and frozen food products from organized retail channels such as supermarkets, rather than traditional wet markets. The growth of e-commerce and online food retail has further fueled the demand for frozen food, driving the need for expanded cold storage facilities in the region. These trends have resulted in increased investments in cold chain infrastructure and transportation improvements to meet the growing demand.
