Increasing energy consumption and rising electricity costs add to the costs, as cold storage units require a constant supply of electricity to maintain low temperatures.

Market Segmentation

The Mexico cold chain logistics market share is classified into service type and temperature type.

• The refrigerated storage segment accounted for the largest revenue market in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The Mexico cold chain logistics market is segmented by service type into refrigerated storage, refrigerated transportation, and value-added services. Among these, the refrigerated storage segment accounted for the largest revenue market in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The market dominance is attributed to the constant and long-term demand for temperature-controlled warehousing solutions in the food and pharmaceutical sectors. Food processing companies, supermarkets, exporters, and pharmaceutical companies need extensive cold storage facilities to store perishable goods such as meat, seafood, dairy products, frozen foods, vaccines, and biologics. The rise in the consumption of frozen and processed foods, as well as agricultural exports, has contributed substantially to the demand for sophisticated cold storage warehouses. Refrigerated storage requires high infrastructure costs and, therefore, high service pricing and revenue generation.

• The frozen segment accounted for the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The Mexico cold chain logistics market is segmented by temperature type into chilled, frozen, ambient, and deep-frozen/ultra-low. Among these, the frozen segment accounted for the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The frozen temperature market has the largest revenue share due to the dominance of frozen food products such as meat, poultry, seafood, and ready-to-eat meals in both the domestic and export markets. These products need to be stored at a temperature of below -18°C for a relatively longer period of time. The increasing number of supermarkets and organized retailing channels also boosts the demand for frozen storage capacity. As frozen foods pass through various stages of the cold chain, they contribute largely to the revenue share of the market.
