by The global Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 53.38 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
The commercial refrigeration equipment are majorly used in food retail establishments like restaurants, grocery stores, supermarkets, and convenience stores for storing and preserving perishable goods. These equipment include walk-in coolers, reach-in coolers, freezers, and refrigerated display cases. Walk-in coolers and freezers are main storage areas where large quantities of food products are kept before use or sale. Reach-in coolers and freezers are smaller storage units used for products being accessed more frequently. Refrigerated display cases prominently showcase food and beverage items for customer access. Commercial refrigeration equipment play a crucial role in food safety and quality maintenance along the supply chain. Growing food retail sector worldwide is driving demand for more efficient and eco-friendly commercial cooling solutions.
Market key trends:
The global commercial refrigeration equipment market is witnessing rising demand for sustainable and energy efficient products. Stringent government regulations regarding phasing out of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and adopting natural refrigerants are encouraging manufacturers to invest in developing environmentally responsible offerings. Growing adoption of magnetic refrigeration technology which utilizes magnetism instead of conventional refrigerants is opening new growth avenues. Rising food retail infrastructure in developing nations and need for proper food storage from farm to fork is propelling the commercial refrigeration industry expansion. Implementation of IoT enabled smart refrigeration systems for remote monitoring is gaining traction. Adoption of cloud-based solutions for centralized equipment management is supplementing the market growth.
