The Growing Warehouse and Cold Chain Market in the Philippines
Introduction
The logistics sector is a diverse industry, and one of its key segments is the warehouse market. Situated strategically on the Pacific Ocean's coast, the Philippines serves as a convenient docking location for global supply routes, connecting various export and import markets. With the expansion of the industrial, retail, and e-commerce sectors, coupled with its advantageous location, the warehouse market in the Philippines has witnessed significant growth.
Types of Warehouses and Services
In the Philippines, a wide range of warehouses are available, including integrated cold chain facilities, cold storage, and dry storage. These warehouses offer services such as real-time tracking, integrated logistics and distribution, and inventory management. Notably, large meat processors utilize on-site cold storage facilities for both local and imported goods, ensuring prompt transportation to cold storage.
Warehouses: A Lucrative Long-Term Investment
Experts predict that the warehouse market in the Philippines will be the next major real estate investment. The shift to the new normal has led to local businesses closing physical storefronts and transitioning their inventory to online platforms, resulting in an increased demand for storage. This trend presents a growing opportunity for investments in distribution centers, storage facilities, and warehouses. The industrial and retail sectors are the primary drivers of storage demand, with contributions from container freight, cold storage, and agriculture.
eCommerce and the Future of Warehousing
The emergence of e-commerce has revolutionized the buying process, reducing the time goods spend in storage facilities and increasing the time spent in distribution lines. To meet the rising demand, warehouses in the Philippines must prioritize technology, efficient management, and speed in their operations.
The Growth of the Philippines Cold Chain Market
Over the past few years, the Philippines' cold chain market has experienced significant growth. This can be attributed to the increasing domestic consumption of meat and seafood, expansion of existing warehouses by companies, and rising government efforts and investments. Despite the lack of pre-cooling facilities near farming and trading locations, the cold chain market is projected to grow positively between 2023 and 2028.
