Industrial Refrigeration System Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Component (Condenser, Control, Evaporator, Compressor and Other Components), Refrigerant Type (Carbon Dioxide, Hydroflurocarbon (HFC), Ammonia), Capacity, Type, Application and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Industrial Refrigeration System Market is accounted for $19.7 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $28.6 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. Industrial refrigeration systems are large-scale cooling and refrigeration devices used to chill and remove heat from a variety of products. These devices need a measuring device, a compressor pump, an evaporator, liquid refrigerants such ammonia and carbon dioxide, and other components to function. They transmit heat from one medium with a low temperature to another with a high temperature. Therefore, a wide range of industrial industries use industrial refrigeration systems extensively.
According to a Financial Express article, in India every year 16% of Food is wasted because of the lack of proper Cold Storage Infrastructure. According to Restaurants Canada, the commercial foodservices sales in the region grew by 5.3%.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increased government investment in cold chain infrastructure
Temperature sensitive products are stored in cold chain warehouses to extend their shelf life. The manufacturing of perishable goods has risen significantly, which has increased demand for cold chains in logistics. Furthermore, cold chain plays in the pharmaceutical business is quickly expanding due to an increase in demand for vaccines and drugs, which is driving market expansion.
Restraint:
Safety Concerns
The demand for ammonia and carbon dioxide as refrigerants has increased significantly as natural refrigerant-based systems have gained traction. However, ammonia is a dangerous gas, and accidental leakage in facilities can cause serious industrial accidents. Gas leaks from within the refrigeration system have the potential to contaminate food items stored inside. Hence, safety concerns acts as major challenge for the growth of the market.
Opportunity:
Reinvention with Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT is transforming the refrigeration business in terms of productivity, energy efficiency. Integration of IoT into industrial refrigeration systems vastly increases real-time monitoring capabilities. Thus, using the integrated sensors, customers will be able to monitor on internal and external temperature, power consumption, and humidity, which is boosting the market's advancement.
Threat:
High installation cost
Industrial refrigeration systems have high installation cost owing to the high cost of their components. The control systems used in theses refrigeration systems are expensive, which increases the cost. Additional expenses like regular maintenance and high energy costs significantly raise operating costs, which restrains market expansion.
Covid-19 Impact
The Covid-19 issue has caused various economic sectors, including those in the transportation, textile, and petroleum industries, to review their business methods and processes. However, it has grown significantly throughout the pandemic period, owing to its critical function in reducing post-harvest losses and preserving agricultural goods. Furthermore, a lot of people buy their food in bulk, which has created a big demand for refrigeration systems to store them.
The compressor segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The compressor segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to it is used for maintaining the required lower temperature and pressures and eliminating the vapour. Because of its capacity to control the load on the evaporators, this equipment is an important component of the industrial refrigeration system. The implementation of improved compressor solutions by market participants to meet effectiveness and refrigerant standards is driving segment growth.
The beverages segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The beverages segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to increasing demand for compact and innovative refrigeration. Consumers increasingly prefer packaged, processed, and frozen ready-to-eat food items as a result of shifting lifestyles, dietary habits, and busy schedules. Hence, these are the factors boosting the segment growth.
Region with Largest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the significant expansion possibilities of cold chain storage facilities. The various governments have launched a number of initiatives to expand cold storage management and enhance refrigeration and refrigerated warehouse administration in their respective countries. Therefore, the growth of the region is being fuelled by these prospects.
Region with highest CAGR:
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to technological developments, convenience and aggressive marketing of frozen foods. Real-time monitoring made possible by the growing integration of sensors with industrial refrigeration systems. Additionally, a tight regulatory framework to limit the environmental impact of refrigerants is raising demand for environmentally friendly refrigeration systems in the region.
