According to a 2017 report by Grand View Research, Inc., the global cold storage market is expected to reach $212.5 billion by 2025. This represents an unprecedented 12.4 percent compound annual growth rate over an eight-year forecast period. In 2016, the global cold storage market was valued at just under $74 billion. The Grand View Research report cites increasing market demand for refrigerated storage as one of the driving forces behind the growth in the industry. The increased market demand correlates with increasing trade of perishable products and growing organized retail sectors in emerging economies such as China and India. Industry leaders looking to expand in emerging markets in the coming years will be challenged by a lack of infrastructure and reliable power supply. However, government initiatives to develop infrastructure coupled with improvements in warehouse management and refrigerated transportation will help support market growth during the forecast period.

Those topping the list include cloud computing, business intelligence (BI), cybersecurity, and mobile payment applications. These are core business technologies CEOs want to leverage to improve overall business outcomes. While emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and cryptocurrency did not score as high in the survey, on a per sector basis they registered higher interest. For instance, virtual technology and augmented reality did not attract much attention from CEOs in terms of impact and investment, but within the sectors of engineering and architecture a majority of leaders expect the fields to impact business and they would most likely invest in them in during the next twelve months. Other technologies such as blockchain, cryptocurrency, and chat technology were not of great interest to CEOs, who found them less likely to impact their businesses and unwarranting of near term investments.
