The transformative power of cold chain logistics from fields to dining tables, looking forward to new heights in the industry
Behind the rapidly developing catering industry, cold chain logistics is gradually becoming the "lifeline" connecting dining tables and fields. From fresh fruits and vegetables to frozen foods, from seafood and seafood to meat products, cold chain logistics not only ensures the freshness and safety of ingredients, but also promotes the upgrading and optimization of the entire catering supply chain.
Cold chain logistics: dual growth of scale and demand
According to a survey by the Cold Chain Logistics Professional Committee of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, the overall demand for the cold chain logistics industry steadily increased in the first three quarters, and the market size continued to expand. The total amount of cold chain logistics was 6.40 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.2%. This data not only reflects the rapid expansion of the industry scale, but also highlights the important role of cold chain logistics in ensuring food safety and improving supply chain efficiency.
The recovery of the catering industry is an important driving force for the growth of demand for cold chain logistics. In the first three quarters, catering revenue was 394.15 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.2%. With the increasing demand of consumers for food safety and quality, the position of cold chain logistics in the catering supply chain is becoming increasingly important. Especially with the rise of fresh food e-commerce, higher requirements have been put forward for cold chain logistics.
Supply Chain Optimization: Seamless Connection from Field to Table
The development of cold chain logistics is not only related to the freshness and safety of ingredients, but also to the optimization and upgrading of the entire supply chain. Taking Huading Cold Chain Technology as an example, the company is committed to becoming the "Sysco of China", relying on leading domestic software and hardware technology support to provide customers with efficient and collaborative one-stop cold chain service solutions. At present, Huading Cold Chain Technology has 25 branches and 23 provincial central warehouses in China, radiating to all provinces and regions except Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Xizang. Through its independently developed SAAS system, Huading Cold Chain Technology has efficiently connected food factories, chain catering brands, distributors, and more, serving over 200000 catering terminal stores.
The success of Huading Cold Chain Technology is not only due to its deep cultivation and meticulous work in the field of cold chain logistics, but also to its profound understanding and optimization of the entire supply chain. Through digital and intelligent means, Huading Cold Chain Technology has achieved full chain coverage from production to consumption, improving the accuracy of material control and delivery efficiency, and bringing fresher and safer ingredients to consumers.
Innovation driven: Green Revolution of New Energy Refrigerated Vehicles
In the field of cold chain logistics, the rise of new energy refrigerated trucks has become a beautiful scenery. In the first three quarters, the sales volume of new energy refrigerated trucks was 9257 units, a year-on-year increase of 230.96%, and the penetration rate reached 22.4%. This trend not only reflects the green development concept of the cold chain logistics industry, but also highlights the broad application prospects of new energy technologies in the logistics field.
The promotion and use of new energy refrigerated trucks not only reduces operating costs, but also reduces environmental pollution. With the continuous increase in the proportion of new energy refrigerated truck equipment updates in first tier cities, green logistics will become the new normal of the cold chain logistics industry.
Future prospects: The technological and intelligent development of cold chain logistics
The cold chain logistics industry will continue to develop towards technology and intelligence. With the continuous development of emerging technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, cold chain logistics will achieve more precise and efficient operation and management. At the same time, the concept of green and low-carbon development will also run through the entire chain of cold chain logistics, promoting the sustainable development of the industry.
In the eyes of experts, the future development of the cold chain logistics industry cannot be separated from technological innovation and model innovation. By strengthening the construction of cold chain infrastructure, improving the quality of cold chain logistics services, and promoting industry standardization and normalization, cold chain logistics will better serve the development needs of industries such as catering and food, bringing consumers a safer, fresher, and more convenient food experience.
Cold chain logistics, as the lifeline connecting dining tables and fields, plays an irreplaceable role in ensuring food safety and improving supply chain efficiency. With the rapid development of the catering industry and the continuous improvement of consumer demand, the cold chain logistics industry will usher in a broader development prospect. In the future, cold chain logistics will continue to be led by technology, with green as the foundation, to promote the transformation and upgrading of the entire industry and high-quality development.
