Cold Storage by Testing Services Insights
Based on the testing services, the Central Europe Cold Storage market has been classified into Chilled (0°C to 15°C), Frozen (-18°C to -25°C), and Deep-frozen (Below -25°C). The Chilled (0°C to 15°C) segment dominated the Central Europe market in 2024, while the Deep-frozen (Below -25°C) segment is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period.
The chilled storage temperature range, typically maintained between 0°C to 15°C, is crucial for preserving perishable products that do not require freezing but still need controlled temperatures to maintain freshness. This range is primarily used for fresh produce, dairy products, beverages, and certain pharmaceutical goods, ensuring that products remain safe for consumption and do not experience rapid spoilage. Maintaining consistent chilled temperatures helps retain nutritional value, texture, and overall product quality while preventing bacterial growth.
Cold Storage by Application Insights
