Market Overview

Refrigerated trucking is a type of freight transport that focuses on the transportation of goods such as food and groceries that must be transported in a temperature-controlled environment. A refrigeration unit is put into trailers that haul food and other products to maintain all products in their original pre-shipped condition. Because the commodities being carried are temperature-dependent, refrigerated trucking providers are constantly prepared to transport goods in order to prevent product destruction or harm. Refrigerated truck transportation can be utilized for a variety of products alongside foods that require temperature control. Other widely committed goods that rely on refrigerated shipping include plants, medications, and personal care products. In recent years, the European refrigerated truck rental market has seen significant growth, including vehicles incorporating single or multi-temperature sections or multi-temperature transversal lanes to suit various applications.

Driving Factors

The market's growth prospects and development potential is mostly found in the growing requirement for refrigerated delivery of pharmaceuticals and food and drinks. In addition, the explosive expansion of the e-commerce retail business, a corresponding rise in the demand for modern and efficient transportation and logistics, and tightening rules on vehicle emissions are some of the factors driving the growth of refrigerated trucks in Europe. Refrigerated truck transport is a "derived demand" sector, which means that the market for refrigerated truckers is directly proportionate to the demand for the goods that these trucks are intended to convey. Furthermore, the refrigerated truck rental can be a very cost-effective option for organizations that handle refrigerated cargo because it eliminates the expenditures associated with owning a fleet of refrigerated trucks.

Additionally, the frozen food product market in the United Kingdom continues to be the fastest-growing retail segment. Moreover, the expansion of retail food chains is expected to boost demand for cold-chain logistics services over the projected period, resulting in higher demand for refrigerated truck rentals in the entire nation. Furthermore, vendors are concentrating on comprehensive strategic planning in order to endure the tough competition in the retail business as well as changes in consumer tastes. Fruit and vegetable output in Europe has decreased due to unseasonal conditions, which may create chances for the frozen food business, which is likely to boost the market further.

Restraining Factors

However, the high upfront expenses of renting refrigerated trucks are major issues limiting the market growth. Refrigerated trucks are occasionally demanding to rent or purchase, making it difficult for small firms to invest in vehicles. Furthermore, constraints such as restricted availability, maintenance and repair costs, and sustainability issues such as greenhouse gas emissions are projected to have a negative impact on market development.

Market Segment

• In 2022, the light refrigerated truck segment is witnessing a higher growth rate over the forecast period.

On the basis of truck type, the Europe Refrigerated Truck Rental Market is segmented into light refrigerated truck, medium refrigerated truck, and heavy refrigerated truck.

These types of vehicles are ideal for transporting frozen meals and perishable goods inside cities, particularly for quick-service restaurants and grocery store chains. Because of their small size, they are easy to drive in congested areas. As a result, the need for light refrigerated trucks is expected to develop in tandem with the expansion of the e-commerce retail, FMCG, and pharmaceutical industries. Furthermore, due to their heavy transportation capacity, huge refrigerated trucks are commonly used for the long-distance conveyance of frozen foods and perishable products.
