China cold storage solution provider
Cold chain logistics cold storage plays a vital role in supply chain optimization and product distribution. In logistics, cold storage acts as a key transit hub:
- Goods are delivered by refrigerated trucks, temporarily stored in cold rooms, and then distributed to retail outlets or supermarkets.
- This process ensures that fresh food, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive products remain under proper temperature control throughout the entire supply chain.
- Cold storage also helps retail businesses (such as supermarkets and convenience stores) maintain stock levels and ensure continuous supply for consumers.
Average Construction Cost
In China, the typical construction cost of a basic fresh cold chain logistics cold storage ranges between $110 – $180 per square meter (approximately RMB 800–1300/m²).
The total investment depends on factors such as warehouse size, design requirements, refrigeration system, and insulation materials.
Estimated Budget for Different Warehouse Sizes (China Reference Prices)
| Cold Storage Size | Estimated Cost (RMB) | Estimated Cost (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 500 m² | ~¥400,000 | ~$56,000 |
| 1,000 m² | ~¥900,000 | ~$126,000 |
| 2,000 m² | ~¥1,400,000 | ~$196,000 |
| 3,000 m² | ~¥2,200,000 | ~$308,000 |
| 5,000 m² | ~¥4,300,000 | ~$602,000 |
| 10,000 m² | ~¥8,500,000 | ~$1,190,000 |
Note: These costs are based on cold storage construction in China. Actual investment may vary depending on location, building standards, materials, and equipment choices in your country.
