The CBRE Intelligent Investment China Cold Storage Site Selection and Investment Special Report highlights the growing interest from investors in the cold storage industry in China, despite the industry still being in its early stages of development. The 14th Five Year Plan on Cold Chain Logistics, which aims to build a cold-chain logistics network connecting production and sales areas by 2025, is expected to create significant opportunities for cold storage investment. The report suggests that the development and upgrading of cold storage facilities will primarily take place in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and satellite cities, as well as transportation hubs. CBRE recommends investors evaluate potential cold storage acquisitions based on the economic and consumer growth trends of target cities, their demand profile and infrastructure, and peer analysis.
