The rapid growth of the e-commerce industry
In the current scenario, the E-commerce industry is growing rapidly due to the rise in penetration of the internet. People can buy and sell everything such as food products, electronics, clothing, pharmaceuticals, and other products, virtually with the help of the internet, which is anticipated to increase the demand for cold chain logistics in the country. For instance, in September 2021, the International Trade Association (ITA) announced that in 2020, Indonesia also had one of the highest rates of e-commerce adoption in the world. About 90% of internet users in the country aged 16 to 64 have purchased products and services online.
Also, International Trade Administration (ITA) mentioned Indonesia's e-commerce market was worth more than $30 billion in gross market value (GMV) in 2020 and is anticipated to expand to $83 billion by 2025, which is driven by changing behavior among tech-savvy customers willing to pay more for convenience. Despite rise in competition, much of Indonesia's e-commerce potential remains untapped, particularly in cities outside Java. Moreover, online grocers drive the demand for cold storage. For instance, in April 2022, the Fresh Factory built 15 micro refrigerated warehouses across Greater Jakarta, Java, and Bali. Every warehouse is 8 km away from each other; thus, increasing the efficiency of the procurement process. In addition, the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of The Republic of Indonesia announced that Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelagic country and it has more than 8,500 varieties of fish. Indonesia produces more than 66% of global tropic seaweed.
Also, the marine industry in Indonesia generated approximately $5 billion every year. Thus, huge production and supply of seafood in Indonesia increases the demand for cold chain logistics in Indonesia during the forecast period. Furthermore, increase in penetration of the internet throughout the world supports the growth of the e-commerce industry. Due to the availability of all products in smartphones, consumers can buy anything from everywhere. For instance, ITA announced that there were more than 202.6 million internet users of over 270 million people in Indonesia in January 2021. Mobile devices are the main resources with which Indonesians complete the shopping on e-commerce platforms. Some online e-commerce platforms report that about 75% of the online shoppers shopped on their mobile devices instead of desktop computers. Thus, the growing e-commerce sector in Indonesia supports the growth of the cold chain logistics market in the country during the forecast period.
Increase in refrigerated warehouses
Dozens of warehouses comprising cold chain systems are designed to ensure the ideal storage and transportation conditions for temperature-sensitive products. Multiple export industries are dependent on the vital links that the cold chain solution systems provide. Businesses invest millions of dollars in their cold chain operations to create effective, efficient, and reliable processes because end-to-end cold chain security is the weak link in the system. Single breakdown in the cold chain logistics chain can lead to catastrophic losses of products and capital. For instance, in September 2021, Pasarnow e-commerce company raised funding worth $3.3 million for the up-gradation of its fragmented and inefficient supply chain which includes temperature-controlled warehouses and others that increase the productivity of the company. Thus, an increase in refrigerated warehouses is expected to fuel the growth of the cold chain logistics market in Indonesia during the forecast period.

Lack of standardization
Lack of standards related to storage temperature, security, operating procedures, and others pose significant challenges to the cold chain industry, where the quality and flexibility of available cold warehousing space is a major concern. In many cases, companies have to invest further to upgrade the space and their specifications to support cold chain logistics and related operations. In addition, upgrading the facility in terms of temperature compliance or accommodating automated equipment serve as major challenges. For instance, in 2020, according to data from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, the production of fisheries in Indonesia is increasing year by year which comes with many opportunities as well as challenges such as fish losses due to the unavailability of plants, cold storage and other things in the ports. As a result, the companies face many losses, and here they need cold storage at ports. Therefore, a lack of standardization in cold chain logistics is anticipated to hamper the growth of the Indonesia cold chain logistics industry during the forecast period.
