Latin America. Each year, the International Refrigerated Warehouse Association (IARW), a partner of the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), publishes Latin America and the Caribbean's Top 10 list of the largest logistics and refrigerated storage providers in Central, South America and the Caribbean.
The list is determined by the total capacity of the temperature-controlled space operated by IARW warehouse members. Similarly, the IARW makes an annual Global Top 25 list, a Top 25 North America and a Top 10 Europe.
GCCA warehouse members currently own or operate 6.64 billion cubic feet (188 million cubic meters). A total capacity of 982 million cubic feet was added to the Global Top 25 since the publication of the 2020 lists, due in large part to frequent M&A activity. This does not suggest that the industry as a whole grew at this rate.
Below is the Top 10 in Latin America.
