With a multitude of impacting factors including Coronavirus, Brexit and now the Christmas season, a shortage for cold storage is imminent which can have the potential for impacting numerous industries.
The Situation
We reported as early as May 2019 that due to Brexit and an increase in companies stockpiling for Brexit would result in a growth in demand for cold storage solutions. Significantly affecting companies with perishable stock products such as Cadbury, Tesco and M&S, the increasing demand for cold storage began fears that it would lead to a shortage of supply in the coming months.
The industry already facing a shortage of supply, we reported back in April that the threat of COVID-19 could bring about another surge in demand for cold storage units as supply chains have begun to wither under the sudden increase in demand by consumers.
Now approaching a COVID-19 affected Christmas and uncertainty of the success of the Brexit trade agreement, companies are beginning to prepare for a third major surge in demand as a result of consumer uncertainty.
With cold storage being needed by companies in a large variety of industries including Fish, Meat, Frozen Food and Pharmaceutical, the demand by these industries, in particular, will see a surge in the coming months.
