Global Plate Freezer Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Plate Freezer Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Plate freezers are commonly used to freeze brick-shaped packaged products. Depending on the compressor system, plate freezers can use various refrigerants such as ammonia, freon, CO2, and brine. When the product is placed in the freezer compartment between the freezer plates, it freezes quickly and evenly. Plate freezing reduces the physical handling of food during processing and preserves the texture, taste and nutritional value of the product.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Plate Freezer market finds that the global Plate Freezer market reached a value of USD 455.06 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 758.56 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.89% during the forecast period.

Increased Demand for Plate Freezers by Food Producers

Plate freezer is one of the important freezing equipment. In addition to onshore processing plants, plate freezers are also suitable for processing on fishing vessels. Plate freezers are widely used in aquaculture, fishery, meat products and other industries. Many businesses use plate freezers to quickly freeze aquatic products, shrimp, shellfish and small-package meat products. In recent years, plate freezers have been favored by more and more food manufacturers. Mainly due to its advantages of compactness, high efficiency, convenient operation and long service life. First of all, the plate freezer is to let the product directly contact its aluminum alloy plate under a certain pressure, which not only ensures high freezing efficiency, but also reduces electricity costs. Compact enough to be used on an ordinary factory floor or on a fishing trawler. Secondly, the efficiency of the plate freezer is very high, which can quickly freeze the product, so that the drying consumption of the product is extremely low, and the freshness and taste of the product are guaranteed. In addition, the plate freezer is easy to operate, just put the packaged product into each layer, and then close the door, the plate freezer can freeze the product efficiently. Its structure is simple and compact, ensuring sanitation, easy to clean, and long service life of the whole machine. Therefore, more and more food manufacturers are increasing the demand for plate freezers, which is driving the growth of the plate freezer industry.

Increased consumer demand for fresh and frozen food

With the rapid development of the global economy, people's pace of life has accelerated, living standards have improved, and disposable income has increased. People's demand for easy-to-preserve convenience food and fresh frozen food continues to rise rapidly, which in turn boosts the market demand for various types of refrigeration equipment. Plate freezer is a relatively high technical content in the refrigeration equipment manufacturing industry. It can freeze to the greatest extent and maintain the original color, taste and nutritional content of food. Therefore, plate freezer is widely used in the production of frozen cakes, fruits and vegetables, meat and other foods , processing and storage links. As consumer demand for fresh food continues to be strong, it will be more conducive to the development of the plate freezer industry.

Segmentation Overview:

By type, Horizontal Plate Freezers segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2021.

Horizontal Plate Freezers

A horizontal plate freezer is a manually loaded batch freezer that uses multiple layers of aluminum plates through which the refrigerant flows. Products in trays or boxes are placed between the plies. After the freezer is fully loaded, the freezer plates are lowered until they touch the top of the product, applying light pressure to the product for full contact. Full contact ensures the most efficient transfer of heat from the product to the refrigerant.

Vertical Plate Freezers

Vertical Plate Freezers allow rapid freezing of raw food products through direct contact freezing. Vertical Plate Freezers are designed to freeze food directly on site with little or no pre-treatment. Product is filled directly into vertical pockets where the product is in direct contact with the freezer plate.

Application Overview:

The market's largest segment by application is the segment Fish, with a market share of 35.43% in 2021.

Plate freezers are used to freeze flat products such as pastries, fish fillets and beef, as well as irregularly shaped vegetables such as asparagus, cauliflower, spinach and broccoli packed in brick-shaped containers. In addition, the plate freezer is also suitable for freezing products such as fruits, liquids, etc.
