Food wastage because of the inadequate and inefficient cold chain infrastructure is significantly actuating the growth of the cold chain market in China. On an average, the loss of perishable food in developing countries such as China is estimated to be between 20% and 50%. This is mainly due to the lack of cold chain facilities. In 2014, the percentage loss of fruits and vegetables accounted for around 20%-30% in China. This is because only 5% of these products are transported through cold chain. For aquatic products and meat, the percentage loss accounted for 12% and 15%, respectively during the same year.

In this report, Technavio highlights the introduction of blockchain technology in cold chain as one of the major emerging trends in the cold chain market in China:

Introduction of blockchain technology in cold chain

The blockchain technology is a digitally distributed transaction ledger. It assists various stakeholders in maintaining identical copies on multiple computer systems. The ledger records or transactions are recorded in a series of blocks. In general, a blockchain system uses a thread of cryptographically protected records and details of transactions for all the stakeholders in the supply chain. The records are further distributed across the network of related computer systems, eradicating the requirement for a central authority to maintain records. This helps in developing cost-efficient and effective supply chains while reducing delays.

"Several cold chain logistics and retail companies are implementing the blockchain technology in their cold supply chain to enhance efficiency and data security in the supply chain. The use of blockchain in the cold chain system will streamline operations and expedite the sharing of information and data. The application of blockchain in the cold chain will also create secure documentation of storage temperatures at every point in the product supply chain," says a senior analyst at Technavio for research on logistics.
