Abstract
The article examines the market of cold logistics in Ukraine (logistics of products, which requires compliance with special temperature conditions). The main problem faced by the authors was the virtual absence of statistical data in this sector of the economy. Therefore, for the study, one of the methods of Multivariate Statistical Analysis was applied, namely, Hierarchical Cluster Analysis. This method made it possible to make a dynamic (for 2017-2020 years) classification of the regions of Ukraine with respect to a latent indicator - the stable development of the cold logistics market. A robust division of 24 regions into three groups-clusters was obtained: “leaders”, “middle peasants”, “outsiders”. The factors-symptoms that had the most significant influence on the formation of a cluster (group of regions) of leaders were determined: the volume of exports and imports, the number of modern multi-temperature logistics warehouse complexes and the income of the population of the region. To assess the environmental impact of the functioning of the cold supply logistics network, an environmental factor was used in the analysis - the volume of CO2 emissions from transport, warehousing, postal and courier activities.
Highlights
In recent years, the global cold logistics market has shown a fairly stable growth
Multivariate Statistical Analysis (MSA) methods allow to quantify latent features. One of such methods of MSA is the method of Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA)
Regarding the latent feature "stability of cold logistics development", the regions of Ukraine are assessed: C1 - Vinnytsa, C2 - Volyn, C3 - Dnipropetrovsk, C4 - Donetsk, C5 - Zhytomyr, C6 Zakarpattya, C7 - Zaporizhzhya, C8 - Ivano-Frankivsk, C9 - Kyiv, C10 - Kirovohrd, C11 Luhansk, C12 - Lviv, C13 - Mykolayiv, C14 - Odesa, C15 - Poltava, C16 - Rivne, C17 Sumy, C18 - Ternopyl, C19 - Kharkiv, C20 - Kherson, C21 - Khmelnytskiy, C22 Cherkasy, C23 - Chernivtsi, C24 - Chernihiv
Summary
The global cold logistics market has shown a fairly stable growth. In 2018, the market volume was about $ 160 billion, and by 2026, experts predict an increase in its volume to $ 600 billion. The leaders in this logistics sector are Asia Pacific and North America. Storage and delivery to the end consumer of products that require special temperature conditions at all elements of the supply chain to extend the storage period and maintain quality. (in connection with the global COVID-19 pandemic), the role of cold logistics in the supply of pharmaceutical products has increased significantly
