Over the past year or two, much of the industry’s attention has been placed on temperature control for pharmaceuticals. It makes sense, considering that delivering pharmaceuticals successfully is a lucrative financial opportunity. However, recent developments in pharmaceuticals should not cause the industry to neglect other shipping needs.
The shipping industry must continue to develop and provide sustainable temperature protection for beverage shipping. There are already products in place that can help them do so. With the cargo industry growing like never before, companies would be wise to implement these solutions into their shipping strategy.
Protecting The Wine Industry
One of the most significant industries that shippers and carriers should be concerned about when shipping beverages is the wine industry. In the coming years, experts expect sales growth range of anywhere from four to eight percent for the premium wine segment. Experts also expect total wine sales to rise anywhere from two to four percent. Estimates also indicate that the global wine market will exceed $423 billion by 2023.
Sustainable Solutions
Those in the wine industry will continue to look for solutions that will allow them to protect their goods from humidity and freezing temperatures. Currently, companies can look into using SureTemp Elite Container Blankets and SureTemp Elite Pallet Covers. Both of these are reusable, which stands out from many of the other current climate-control shipping options. They are an affordable investment that will go a long way toward protecting wine shipments.
Monitoring The Beverage Industry Moving Forward
Moving forward, it will be interesting to see if wine shippers request more specific temperature-prevention measures like those in the pharmaceutical industry have begun to do. It will also be interesting to see if new players, such as producers of cannabis-infused drinks, enter the beverage shipping industry.
