Three Major Development Characteristics of Cold Chain Logistics and Three Suggestions for Future Development

What are the characteristics of the development of cold chain logistics industry?

1. Steady growth of market demand

With the continuous development of social economy and the continuous improvement of residents' living standard, the scale of fresh food market continues to grow steadily. The food supply chain industry has a market volume of trillions of dollars.cold chain As the consumption level and consumption ability of urban and rural residents continue to improve, the demand for cold chain logistics continues to be strong.

2. Continuous improvement of infrastructure

With the introduction of relevant policies to support the development of cold chain logistics, the infrastructure of cold chain logistics, including refrigerated trucks, cold storage and backbone bases, has been improved, and the cold chain industry has become an important hand to improve the two-way circulation system in urban and rural areas, and promote the revitalization of the countryside and common prosperity.cold warehouse Various infrastructures and service systems at both ends of the cold chain logistics and the circulation link have been further improved, but the relevant facilities need to be invested and built cautiously, so as to avoid the phenomenon of overheating, which will lead to the waste of resources.

3. Advancing to the stage of high-quality development

Cold chain logistics has been gradually transformed and upgraded in the direction of intelligence, technology and automation, and enterprises have begun to increase resource investment in cold chain logistics technology, and new technology will give higher value to cold chain logistics. New technologies will give higher value to cold chain logistics. Internet, big data, blockchain and so on gradually penetrate into the professional field of logistics, and the whole chain of cold chain logistics further realizes technological empowerment, and gradually builds an intelligent cold chain logistics system. In the face of the pain points and difficulties in the cold chain industry, enterprises have changed their development concepts, relying on the intelligent cold chain and green cold chain to promote the high-quality development of the cold chain industry.

Cold chain logistics runs through the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, connecting the production end and consumption end, with huge development potential and space. From an objective point of view, domestic cold chain logistics is still facing a lot of difficulties, and the problems of regional development imbalance and unsound system are still prominent. The development of cold chain logistics depends on the guidance of systematic and scientific master plan.

1. Build a modern cold chain logistics network system

The construction of cold chain logistics bases and cold chain distribution centers for production and marketing is an important support for the modern cold chain logistics system. Accelerate the formation of an efficiently connected three-level cold chain logistics node and facility network, give full play to the fundamental role of national backbone cold chain logistics bases and production and marketing cold chain distribution centers, and build a "321" cold chain logistics operation system with "three-level nodes, two systems and an integrated network", so as to construct a cold chain logistics system connecting various industries and establish a modern cold chain logistics network. Build a "321" cold-chain logistics operation system, and construct a "four horizontal and four vertical" cold-chain logistics backbone corridor network connecting various city clusters and important main production areas.

2. Build a cold chain industry ecosystem

Form a new pattern of "cold chain +" industrial agglomeration around cold chain logistics. Relying on "Cold Chain + Intelligent Equipment", "Cold Chain + Big Data" and "Cold Chain + Intelligent Life", we will promote the construction of cold chain logistics industry corridor. Encourage cold chain logistics enterprises to innovate business models, optimize the supply chain, extend the industrial chain and enhance the value chain. Give full play to the positive role of cold chain logistics in serving economic development and facilitating people's life.

3. Improve the level of cold chain digital intelligence

Strengthen the application of intelligent technology and equipment for cold chain such as intelligent sorting, intelligent temperature control, and promote the wide application of Internet of Things, blockchain and other technologies in the field of cold chain logistics. Encourage cold chain enterprises to increase investment in R&D of green equipment and infrastructure renovation, so as to make significant contributions to the realization of carbon peak and carbon neutral goals.

Three suggestions for the future development of cold chain logistics

1. Promote rational planning by the government to lead the healthy development of cold chain logistics. Take theoretical innovation, technological innovation, model innovation and industrial innovation as the starting point, promote the standardization, informatization, intelligence and platform construction of cold chain logistics, comprehensively build a modern cold chain logistics system with highly symmetrical information of "whole chain, network, strict standard, traceability, new model and high efficiency", provide key element support for the development of related upstream and downstream industries, and realize the development of the supply chain. It will provide key element support for the development of related upstream and downstream industries, realize a high degree of matching between the supply chain and market demand, promote a high degree of integration of one, two, three industries, and satisfy the residents' high-quality consumption and new scenarios of consumption upgrading.

2. Talents in the industry should be the first priority, and the organizational foundation of cold chain logistics should be strengthened. At present, there is a huge talent gap in the cold chain logistics industry, with shortages of front-line operational staff, middle-level managers, professional and technical personnel as well as senior managers. Cold chain management requires complex talents, and the application of informationization and automation technology in the field of logistics is becoming more and more mature. However, for cold chain logistics, due to the limitations of temperature difference, technological environment, business scenario and operation subject, the overall development of informationization and automation application in domestic cold chain logistics is still relatively backward, and there is still a large space for development, and the insufficient reserve of professional talents in this aspect is also gradually highlighting the problem.

3. Enterprise technology as a support, help cold chain logistics upgrading and reengineering. Cold chain logistics has been gradually transformed and upgraded in the direction of intelligence, technology and automation, and enterprises have begun to increase the investment of resources in cold chain logistics technology. With the continuous progress of science and technology, new technology will give higher value to cold chain logistics. Along with the implementation of relevant policies such as "new infrastructure" and the gradual penetration of the Internet, big data and blockchain in the professional field of logistics, the whole chain of cold chain logistics will be further technologically empowered, and an intelligent cold chain logistics system will be gradually constructed.
