In order to maintain the required low-temperature range at all times, a cold chain is a temperature-controlled supply chain that includes facilities for manufacture, cold storage, and cold chain transportation via air, across rivers, and rail lines. The market for cold chains is anticipated to grow strongly in the upcoming years due to the rise in food consumption, expanding tourist industry, and the growing demand for frozen & ready-to-eat food. A few of the key growth causes include the development of cold storage for retail distribution, the building of new warehouses, the government's creation of significant food and pharmaceutical reserves, and the rise in end consumers in emerging nations.

In terms of revenue, the Cold Chain market in the UAE is anticipated to grow at a medium pace with a single digit CAGR. The pharmaceutical industry's increased production activity, infrastructure expenditures, the dairy industry's expansion, and rising import and export volumes are all credited with the market's positive growth. The industry is anticipated to see the introduction of new companies as well as new player mergers and acquisitions. Additionally, over the forecast period, rising adoption of warehouse automation technologies like EDI, RFID, AS/AR, and others is anticipated to boost operational efficiency in the UAE cold chain market.

The COVID-19 epidemic in the UAE had a positive effect on the cold chain industry. The market's growth has been fuelled by the rise in demand for cold chain facilities including storage and transportation, especially for pharmaceutical products. The need for cold chain services has increased across the nation during the pandemic for the transportation of temperature-sensitive goods including vaccines and pharmaceutical medications for the distribution of vaccines. In order to distribute vaccinations both locally and internationally, firms have formed a cooperation that calls for the use of cold transportation. For example, in order to streamline the distribution of Covid-19 vaccination shots around the world, Dubai established its Vaccine Logistics Alliance with Emirates Airlines, Dubai Ports, Dubai Airports, and the International Humanitarian City. To improve the capacity for transporting vaccines, Emirates SkyCargo enhanced the pharmaceutical cold chain infrastructure in Dubai. The business wants to improve its ability to handle vaccines and pharmaceuticals that are temperature-sensitive in the nation.
