The Middle East has seen a steady increase in the adoption of cold chains in recent years. The cold chain, which refers to the system used to maintain the temperature of perishable goods from production to consumption, is an essential component of the food industry. The increasing demand for fresh and frozen food products and the rise in food safety regulations have driven the growth of the cold chain market in the Middle East.

The demand for food is particularly acute in Africa, owing to millions of people suffering from malnutrition and hunger. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in 2021, over 258 million people in Africa were undernourished, accounting for nearly 20% of the global total. This presents the need for expanding the agricultural sector and developing a reliable cold chain infrastructure to ensure the availability of safe and nutritious food products.
