Résumé

Factors affecting the demands on providers of refrigerated transport equipment made by the food industry are reviewed. Globalization and emergence of post-industrial thinking means that consumers expect food products that meet their needs, their wants and their values. The food industry is responding by manufacturing an increasingly diverse range of refrigerated food products, but many of these will continue to have a significant food safety risk. Consumers are reluctant to share in this risk. Both for this reason and for economics, food companies will seek to purchase refrigerated transportation services on an increasingly strict performance-assessed basis, thus creating a strong market pull for development of more sophisticated refrigerated transportation systems. There is also likely to be significant growth in the transportation sector in response to increasing urbanization, to centralization of food preservation facilities, and to changes in food industry organization.
