Cold chain logistics technology upgrade: -80℃ ultra-low temperature achieves 72 hours of sashimi worldwide
With the rapid growth of global fresh food trade, cold chain logistics technology is ushering in a revolutionary breakthrough. Recently, many international logistics giants jointly announced that through the application of -80℃ ultra-low temperature technology, high-quality sashimi products have been achieved globally 72-hour direct service. This technological upgrade will completely change the international trade pattern of high-end fresh food.
Technology breakthrough core data

| Technical Indicators | Traditional cold chain | New ultra-low temperature cold chain |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature control range | -18℃ to 4℃ | -80℃ to -60℃ |
| Fresh cycle | 7-14 days | 30-45 days |
| Global delivery time | 5-7 days | 72 hours |
| Product quality retention rate | 85% | 98% |
Technical application scenarios
1.High-end sashimi supply chain: For the first time, top ingredients such as bluefin tuna and king salmon have achieved fresh and direct cross-continental access. Sashimi in Tsukiji Market in Japan can be reached in high-end European and American restaurants within 48 hours.
2.Biomedical Transportation: The transportation reliability of temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products such as new crown vaccines has been increased to 99.99%, and the transportation loss rate has dropped from 5% to 0.1%.
3.Polar scientific research support: The fresh food supply cycle of Antarctic Science and Technology Research Station changed from quarterly to monthly, greatly improving the quality of life of scientific researchers.
Market Impact Analysis
| Impact dimension | Specific performance |
|---|---|
| Price system | Prices of high-end sashimi terminals are expected to drop by 15-20% |
| Consumption habits | Global fresh food e-commerce penetration rate is expected to increase to 35% |
| Industrial structure | Small and medium-sized cold chain enterprises face pressure to upgrade technology |
| Carbon emissions | Carbon emissions per unit of goods transport reduced by 40% |
Future development trends
According to industry experts, by 2025, the ultra-low temperature cold chain logistics market size will reach US$120 billion, with an annual compound growth rate of 28%. The main technological development directions include:
1.Intelligent temperature control system: Real-time temperature monitoring and automatic adjustment technology based on the Internet of Things will achieve no intervention throughout the entire process.
2.New insulation material: The application of aerospace-grade materials such as aerogels can reduce the weight of cold chain equipment by 50% and reduce energy consumption by 35%.
3.Green energy driven: Solar cold chain containers have entered the testing stage and are expected to be put into commercial operations in 2024.
Highlights of consumer benefits
• Alaska king crabs are delivered to Chinese consumers' tables to achieve 99% freshness
• The fat oxidation level of Japanese Wagyu cattle is reduced to less than 0.3% during transportation
• The survival and transportation time of French oysters is extended from 72 hours to 120 hours
• Norwegian salmon air transport costs 40% lower
This revolution in cold chain technology not only redefines the "fresh" standards of fresh food, but also promotes global food trade into a new era. With the continuous maturity and large-scale application of technology, "direct delivery to the place of origin" will become the new normal for high-end food consumption in the next five years.
