Changing Demand Landscape in European Cold Chain Logistics

The largest changes come from the animal protein sector, where there is an ongoing shift in production from the traditional producing countries – the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and France – to eastern and southern Europe. Such changes will cause a decrease in demand for cold chain logistics in those traditional producing countries but will increase demand for westbound refrigerated transportation as well as for cold storage services in countries with increasing production, especially Poland, Spain, and Italy.
