I. Data Analysis of the Characteristics of China's Cold Chain Logistics Industry in 2019

1.1 Analysis of the Development Elements of China's Cold Chain Logistics Industry

In recent years, along with the rise of e-commerce consumption in China, the adjustment of the agricultural structure, and the increase in the level of consumption of the residents, the production and circulation of fresh products have been increasing year by year, which puts the safety and quality has put forward higher requirements. Fresh agricultural products are easy to rot, at the same time, because the origin of agricultural products is more dispersed, from the field pre-cooling through transportation to reach the hands of consumers in the end of the link is more, preservation of freshness has become an extremely important circulation indicators. Therefore, the development of cold chain logistics has a very important significance.

The cold chain refers to the low-temperature protection system which is equipped with specialized facilities and equipment, and can always maintain the low-temperature environment required for the quality of the products, and consists of production, storage, transportation, sales, distribution and pre-consumption links. Cold chain logistics can maintain low temperature in the process of processing, transportation and storage of fresh agricultural products to ensure quality and reduce loss. Meanwhile, cold chain logistics can also be applied in the field of medicine to ensure the transportation quality of vaccines, biological preparations, precision medical instruments and other pharmaceutical products with temperature requirements.

Cold-chain logistics consists of pre-cooling treatment, cold-chain processing, cold-chain storage, cold-chain transportation and distribution and cold-chain sales, and involves facilities such as cold storage, refrigerated trucks, insulated boxes and refrigerated display cabinets.

1.2 Development History of China's Cold Chain Logistics Industry

China's cold chain logistics industry is mainly focused on the field of food cold chain logistics, and it was first produced in the 1950s in the foreign trade and export of meat and food. Due to the backwardness of social and economic level at that time, cold storage and refrigerated trucks only rely on modification to maintain low temperature. 2001, after the establishment of China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, the basic work of cold chain logistics is in full swing, such as the standardization construction of cold chain logistics, cold chain logistics information construction, cold chain logistics science and technology engineering, cold chain logistics theoretical research and cold chain logistics and cold chain logistics also master plan, etc., so that China's cold chain logistics enterprises are more internationalized, standardization. At the same time, with the rapid development of China's social and economic development, the increasing consumption level of the population and the improvement of people's requirements for food quality and safety, which promotes the continuous development of China's cold chain logistics industry.

2.3 Survey Analysis of Social Demand for the Development of China's Cold Chain Logistics Industry, 2019

2.3.3 Social Demand

In the past, due to technical constraints and in order to save on transportation costs and other reasons, food merchants would choose to add preservatives to extend the freshness period. As food safety issues have attracted more and more attention from consumers, cold chain logistics has become more and more important in food transportation. Consumers are paying more attention to food safety and are willing to pay a reasonable premium for it, which promotes the development of the cold chain logistics industry, and at the same time continues to promote the formation of industry norms.

Data shows that from 2016 to 2018, China's overall market size of fresh food e-commerce has been growing steadily, and the market size has exceeded 100 billion in 2018, and it is expected that the market size will exceed 160 billion yuan in 2019. Fresh food e-commerce, which is gradually becoming a climate, will continue to bring a large number of orders for cold chain logistics enterprises.
