Global Vaccine Cold Chain Logistics Market Size is valued at USD 3.5 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 5.9 Billion by the year 2034 at a 5.3% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Technological advancements have helped in the development of vaccines in recent years. Vaccines are widely used to control infectious diseases as one of the prevention strategies to maintain the sustainable health of the population. The current covid-19 outbreak has significantly created a huge demand for temperature-controlled storage for vaccines across the globe.
Several drug candidates are being developed and tested to treat COVID-19 infection. There are currently over 250 vaccines across seven platforms being designed and trialed to treat COVID-19 infection. Few candidates are about to receive government approval or at the end of late-stage clinical trials of the Covid-19 vaccine in several countries. However, the next challenge that awaits is the cold chain logistics for vaccine distribution in various countries with different weather conditions. The proper cold storage is critical in the case of covid-19 vaccines as they require temperature-controlled storage and distribution to maintain their efficacy and other properties.
As per the white paper published by DHL in December 2020, around 200,000 pallet shipments and 15 million deliveries in cooling boxes, as well as 15,000 flights, will be required across various supply chain set-ups in the next two years to provide global coverage. Thus, the stable, safe, and IT-enabled supply chain framework and durable physical logistics infrastructure would help vaccine distribution globally.
In addition to the Covid-19 vaccine development, breakthroughs in cancer research efforts, growing pharmaceutical industry, augmented investment in R&D for vaccine development, and increased number of refrigerated warehouses are expected to boost the vaccine cold chain logistics market during the forecast period.
The Global Vaccine Cold Chain Logistics market is categorized based on services, packaging methods, mode of transportation, holding temperature range, and container and region.
On the basis of services, the market is segmented into storage, packaging, transportation. Based on packaging methods, the market is segmented into dry ice, liquid nitrogen, gel packs. on the basis of mode of transportation, the market is segregated into ground, air, and ocean. Based on the holding temperature range, the market is classified into vaccines requiring refrigerated temperature, vaccines requiring frozen temperature, vaccines requiring cryogenic temperature. On the basis of the containers, the market is segmented into active containers, passive containers.
Based on the region, the market is studied across North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and LAMEA. Among all, North America is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
