January 2024 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Market Growth & Trends

The global commercial refrigeration equipment market size is estimated to reach USD 58.31 billion by 2030, registering an estimated CAGR of 5.2% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The major aspects driving the market growth are the increasing consumption of frozen foods and the significant expansion of tourism and hospitality industries.

The rising environmental concerns about harmful emissions produced by refrigerators such as Hydro-chlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) and Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) have led to the establishment of norms promoting the adoption of energy-efficient equipment for commercial refrigeration. The Clean Air Act launched by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency mandates the regularized application of low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants in the commercial segment.

Such regulatory measures are urging the companies operating in market to develop energy-efficient offerings with lesser environmental impact. For instance, in September 2022, Carrier Transicold introduced its new range of cutting-edge sustainable and electric temperature-controlled transport units at IAA Transportation 2022 in Germany. The new product offerings include Carrier’s first hydrogen fuel cell-powered Vector trailer unit supporting the temperature-controlled transport solutions for decarbonizing the cold chain.

The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had severely affected the commercial foodservice industry and retail industries, thereby impacting the expansion of the commercial refrigeration equipment market. However, the industry witnessed a strong demand from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries with the increasing need to produce and store vaccines. Several pharmaceutical firms and research institutes demanded vaccine storage refrigerators as a part of their R&D activities to deliver life-saving vaccines against the coronavirus.
