Moreover, the sudden outbreak of the pandemic has significantly changed the retail supply chain of these perishable products. Many retail players have shifted to home delivery services, which in turn promotes the demand for refrigerated vehicles across the globe.
In addition, the growth of refrigerated transport is supported by the substantial growth of supermarkets and hypermarkets across emerging economies including China and India.
