Malaysia Cold Chain Market Overview and Size
The cold chain market in Malaysia is at the growth stage. There are not many providers that offer cold chain service for the Malaysian market and it is considered a niche market. Malaysia has established itself as the halal industry hub, making it one of the major trading partners of halal meat and other products. In the review period 2016-2021P, the Malaysia cold chain market has increased at a positive CAGR of 6.9% primarily due to substantial government investments in the freight industry and increase in retail and consumer spending especially in meat and seafood, fruits/vegetables market, and the growing pharmaceuticals industry.
Malaysia Cold Chain Market Overview Segmentation
Cold Warehousing
The cold storage market is dominating the market and contributing majority revenue share to the cold chain industry. Most of the cold storage warehouses are located in free-zones. Malaysian Free Trade Zones are equipped with different incentives and focuses. They facilitate customs processing as well as provide bonded warehousing for transhipment. The relatively higher growth in cold warehousing as compared to cold transportation can be attributed to setting up of new facilities in Free Zone Areas by the companies in the industry. This is because they prefer investing in cold warehouses, since it is a more secure long-term asset, despite the heavy investment costs it requires. Seasonal surge in demand is seen especially during the Ramadan festival.
Cold Transportation
The industry caters to the distribution of food and pharma domestically and internationally via land, sea and air. Some of the key growth drivers include increasing domestic production of perishables and growing end users in emerging markets. The revenue generation from international freight is higher than the revenue generated from transportation of goods within the country as the distance covered plays a major role in determining the revenue generated. Since, Malaysia is actively involved exports of certain F&B products, the international freight revenue generation is higher than domestic freight.
By End-User Application (Meat and Seafood, Dairy Products, Pharmaceuticals, Fruits and Vegetables and Others): Meat and seafood is the largest end user industry in Malaysia. In 2021, the demand for frozen meat slightly declined in Malaysia as people preferred fruits and vegetables as the healthier alternative after Covid-19. The pharmaceutical industry saw a boost post the onset of the pandemic and the consumption of fruits and vegetables increased due to growing health concerns in the country.
Malaysia Cold Warehousing Market Segmentations:
By Temperature Range (Ambient, Chilled and Frozen): Chillers and freezers were quite high in demand in the year 2021P given the increase in the consumption of frozen and fresh food items. Since most of the halal products require storage in the freezers, there is highest demand for freezers in Malaysia, followed by chillers in which fresh food products are stored.
By Ownership (Integrated and Contract Warehouses): Integrated logistic facilities generated larger revenue share in 2021P. This is majorly as most of the warehouses (especially the big players) are able to store/ accommodate their clientele’s products within their owned warehouses. These mergers of small players with big cold chain players are leading to the establishment of a bigger player thus eliminating the need of outsourcing (4PL). More small cold companies are expected to merge with bigger players increasing the share of integrated logistics.
Malaysia Cold Transportation Market Segmentations:
By Mode of Transport (Land, Sea and Air): Mostly land transport is used for cold transportation. Cold transportation through land contributed the highest revenue to the cold transport industry as land transportation is used not only for domestically transporting goods internally within the country but also used for transporting goods to the neighbouring countries of Malaysia such as Singapore, Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Air freight is not widely used to transport goods across the country. Only in rare cases of delivering life-saving drugs or essential goods, air transportation is usually used. Otherwise, air transport is mainly used for international freight forwarding.
By Type of Freight (Domestic and International): The revenue generation from international freight is higher than the revenue generated from transportation of goods within the country as the distance covered plays a major role in determining the revenue generated. Since, Malaysia is actively involved exports of certain F&B products, the international freight revenue generation is higher than domestic freight.
