Saudi Arabia Cold Chain Warehousing Market Trends & Drivers:

The cold chain warehousing market in Saudi Arabia is on a high growth trajectory, mainly due to investments of billions in state-of-the-art infrastructure by Vision 2030 and the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program, making the Kingdom a regional logistics hub. More than SAR 5 billion is being invested in cold chain projects, with companies such as NAQEL Express and Agility developing large multi-temperature facilities in Riyadh and Jeddah that can store everything from frozen poultry to vaccines. This move will help achieve food security objectives, such as increasing local poultry production to 950,000 metric tons, while new SFDA-licensed hubs courtesy of Four Winds ensure pharma-grade storage, with imports rising through key ports.​

The explosion of the pharma sector is supercharging demand for ultra-reliable cold storage, as Saudi Arabia's USD 11.6 billion market swells with biologics, vaccines, and chronic disease meds that all require temps down to -80°C with unmistakable precision. AJEX Logistics just unveiled the Kingdom's first GMP-GxP certified depot, while DHL is investing heavily in GDP-compliant hubs that meet SFDA rules and cut spoilage risks. These facilities keep drugs potent in scorching heat, backing Vision 2030's healthcare upgrades and making Riyadh a clinical trials hotspot thanks to real-time IoT monitoring for flawless compliance.​

Food and e-commerce growth spur a cold chain revolution as the F&B industry, valued at USD 23.48 billion, craves chilled spots for dairy, meats, and fresh produce to cut down its wastes. The Starlinks Polaris hub in Riyadh handles food, pharma, and FMCG with energy-smart tech as online grocery booms demand last-mile refrigerated delivery. Capacity has grown by 20% through AI-optimized systems developed by players like Coldstores Group, meeting urban appetites and import surges through Jeddah Port for safer, fresher goods right up to supermarkets and doorsteps.
