Cold chain temperature monitoring involves the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology to continuously monitor those temperature sensitive products which are usually transported in cold chain supply. Using cold chain supply helps to ensure the quality of temperature sensitive products remain same and retain their original quality from time of manufacture until the time of delivery. A series of monitoring devices, also known as temperature data loggers, are widely used as these wireless sensors provide real-time temperature data. Cold Chain temperature monitoring devices are classified on the basis of purpose and the supply chain level.

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has had positive impact on the cold chain temperature monitoring market. Pandemic had led to surge in transport of temperature sensitive drugs, samples, and vaccines in cold chain supply.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

• Increasing focus for the improvement of supply chain efficiency and productivity using advanced technology is key factor driving the market growth.
• Rising demand of temperature sensitive drugs in pharmaceutical industry and demand for better quality of food and processed food products are projected to boost the market expansion during the forecast period.
• Lack of skilled professionals for proper handling of cold chain temperature monitoring devices can hamper the market growth during the projected timeline.
• Rising operational cost and lack of standardization act as major challenges that can restrict the market growth in the coming years.
• Wide integration of advanced technology such as radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and Bluetooth low energy in cold chain temperature monitoring devices are projected to create significant growth opportunities of the market.
