Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Marseille, France, and paid tribute to freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, who made a daring escape attempt at the port city. Highlighting the historical significance of Marseille in India’s freedom struggle, Modi acknowledged Savarkar’s bravery and the support of French activists who opposed his return to British custody.

During British colonial rule, on July 8, 1910, Savarkar attempted to escape captivity while being transported to India aboard the British ship Morea. Slipping out of a porthole, he swam to shore but was soon captured by French authorities and handed back to the British, leading to a major diplomatic controversy. He was later sentenced to life imprisonment at the Cellular Jail in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Modi emphasized that Savarkar’s courage continues to inspire generations.

The cold chain temperature monitoring market is experiencing rapid growth, projected to increase from $8.79 billion in 2024 to $10.33 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 17.5%. By 2029, it is expected to reach $19.5 billion, driven by rising global trade, increased pharmaceutical demand, and the need for precise temperature control in logistics.

Key factors fueling this expansion

include the boom in e-commerce, where the demand for temperature-sensitive goods is rising. In the U.S., e-commerce sales hit $1.1 trillion in 2023, marking a 7.6% increase from 2022. Additionally, technological advancements, such as real-time tracking, AI-driven analytics, and automation, are transforming the sector. Companies are focusing on improving security and operational efficiency while ensuring compliance with strict regulatory standards.

Major players in the market include Zebra Technologies, Cryoport Inc., Cold Chain Technologies, Controlant, Sensitech Inc., DeltaTrak, and ORBCOMM, among others. These industry leaders are expanding their product portfolios and introducing innovative solutions. A key example is the CubiSens XT1, launched by CubeWorks in September 2022, which offers real-time temperature tracking using multiple sensors, enhancing safety and efficiency in cold chain logistics.

The market is segmented into hardware, including temperature loggers, real-time monitoring devices, and temperature indicators, and software, with on-premise and cloud-based solutions. It caters to industries such as pharmaceuticals, processed food, dairy, seafood, bakery & confectionery, and fresh produce.

Geographically, North America is the dominant region in 2024, while Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market in the coming years. With the increasing adoption of IoT-enabled tracking devices and AI-powered analytics, the future of cold chain temperature monitoring looks promising. Companies investing in real-time visibility and automation will gain a competitive edge.
