The Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA) released the association’s annual Global Top 25 List of its largest temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics members. Accompanying the Global Top 25 is the GCCA North American Top 25 Warehouse Member List and a list of the largest operators in Latin America and Europe. The lists are determined by total reported capacity of temperature-controlled space in GCCA membership.
GCCA warehouse members currently own or operate 7.39 billion cubic feet (209 million cubic meters). A total capacity of over 750 million cubic feet was added to the Global Top 25 since the publication of the 2022 lists, due to mergers and acquisitions activity as well as new facility assets coming online. This does not suggest the general industry grew at this pace.
The Global Top 25 currently operates 6.26 billion cubic feet (177 million cubic meters). The North American Top 25 operates 4.37 billion cubic feet (124 million cubic meters). The European Top 10 operates 1.18 billion cubic feet (33 million cubic meters). The Latin American Top 10 operates 441 million cubic feet (12.5 million cubic meters).
Regions worldwide reported increased capacity and several new companies joined GCCA in the past year. Since 2020’s lists were published, the following changes occurred:
- Global Top 25 capacity increased by 750 million cubic feet
- North America Top 25 capacity increased by 140 million cubic feet
- Latin America Top 10 capacity increased by 30 million cubic feet
- Europe Top 10 capacity increased by 140 million cubic feet
