Indonesia's Cold Chain Sector Draws New Investment and Integrated Transport Solutions
A Jakarta logistics expo and new cold storage ventures signal expanding capacity in Indonesia's temperature-controlled food logistics.
The Food Transport and Logistics Expo 2026, held at JIExpo Jakarta from 4 to 6 November, showcased integrated cold chain solutions for the food industry. Mitsubishi Fuso presented a combined offering of commercial vehicles and temperature telematics from Runner Telematics, which the company positions as support for refrigerated food distribution fleets, according to its announcement at the event (vendor announcement).
New investment is also entering the sector. Peregrine Cold Logistics, a cold chain platform backed by investment firm Stonepeak, has formed a joint venture with Sinar Primera to develop large-scale cold storage facilities in Indonesia, including an acquired facility in Pluit and a planned greenfield site in Narogong. Separately, state food holding ID Food has publicly proposed the construction of large cold storage facilities across seven cities, citing storage capacity as a constraint on food price stabilisation.
Market research cited by industry observers projects Indonesia's cold chain market to grow from USD 5.1 billion in 2024 to USD 11.7 billion by 2032 (market research estimate).
