Introduction
What we want to convey in this article
  • Vietnam’s cold chain market is a promising growth market and is expected to reach a market size of approximately $300 million by 2025.
  • The demand for cold chain is increasing in Vietnam, both outwardly and inwardly, as products are exported internationally and the public becomes more aware of hygiene.
  • The Vietnamese cold chain M&A deals that Vietbiz can introduce range from those already in operation to new deals in the planning stages.

Introduction

In this report, Vietbiz will introduce actual M&A deals in the cold chain sector that we are able to introduce. First, we will briefly review the cold chain situation in Vietnam, and then introduce actual deals in the latter half of the page.

 Vietnam’s Cold Chain Market

Compared to other countries in the Southeast Asian region, Vietnam’s cold chain market is immature and has potential for development.

The market value of Vietnam’s cold chain reached approximately $169 million in 2019. It is projected to reach $295 million in 2025 due to growth in seafood processing and consumer demand. (According to Cushman &Wakefiel Report (2022))

Vietnam’s cold chain market will grow primarily due to the following factors

  • Increased consumer demand for frozen foods
  • Reducing supply chain disruptions caused by the new coronavirus pandemic
  • Government support: development of a third port strategy, development of transportation terminals for various goods, and resolution of rail issues to improve industrial prospects

Bilateral trade between Vietnam and countries such as Laos and Cambodia has boosted Vietnam’s role as a major agro-processing and logistics center in the region.

Overview of Cold Chain Facilities in Vietnam

According to the Gosmartlog report (2022), as of September 2021, Vietnam had 48 refrigerated warehouses with a total capacity of over 600,000 pallets. By region, they are as follows.

  • South: 36 refrigerated warehouses with a capacity of 526,364 pallets
  • North: 11 refrigerated warehouses with a capacity of 54,780 pallets
  • Central: 1 refrigerated warehouse with a capacity of 21,000 pallets

The southern part of the country has more refrigerated warehouses than the rest of the country, due to the significant development of fishing and agriculture in the region.

In particular, Long An Province is the most focused on cold storage because of its proximity to Ho Chi Minh City and its close relationship to the Mekong Delta (the largest rice producer). In addition, Long An Province is close to Cat Tri Port and can be directly connected to the airport.

In 2021, 80% of Vietnam’s refrigerated warehouses were highly utilized (utilization rate). In terms of transportation, the country has more than 700 refrigerated vehicles and more than 450 trains carrying containers of refrigerated goods.

Future Prospects for the Vietnamese Cold Chain

Two major points can be made about the future prospects for the cold chain market in Vietnam.

  • According to the General Administration of Customs, as of December 2021, Vietnam’s import and export value of fresh fruits, meat, fish and seafood recorded a growth of 17.1% over the same period in 2020. Vietnam is also one of the world’s five largest fruit and vegetable exporters.
    Domestic demand for high-quality products is also increasing rapidly. With increasing demands for food hygiene and safety, companies are beginning to invest resources in new refrigerated warehouses.
  • Many foreign companies are also increasingly interested in investing in Vietnam and building cold storage facilities. This is because of a number of optimal factors, such as the advantages of urbanization and modernization, the development of the retail industry in large cities with strong growth, and the country’s export of seafood products with high quality refrigeration requirements.
