Europe Industrial Chillers Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rise in Adoption of Industrial Chillers for Energy-Efficient Operations in Industries

Industrial chillers play a major role in conducting proper cooling operations in industries such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, plastics, and chemicals. By ensuring precise temperature control, industrial chillers boost productivity, product quality, and equipment longevity. In the manufacturing industry, industrial chillers are used to cool molds in plastic injection molding, maintain stable temperatures during chemical reactions, and protect the integrity of sensitive electronic components, as well as support the operation of plant supply equipment such as air compressors. In the pharmaceutical sector or the food & beverages industry, air- or water-cooled versions of process chillers are used to cool the process water used for operations.

Energy-efficient industrial chillers are in line with the European Union's goals to reduce energy consumption as well as support the transition to a low-carbon economy. These chillers use less electricity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the manufacturers in Europe are focused on providing industrial chillers to various processing operations in industries, including food & beverages, chemicals & pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, rubber, plastics, automotive, and electronics, among others. For example, Zudek, an ammonia industrial chiller manufacturer, launched an air-cooled ammonia chiller (R717) that was used in a pharmaceutical site in Belgium. It improved the energy efficiency of the cooling system by 20% as compared to hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)-based unit. Thus, the rising adoption of industrial chillers for energy-efficient operations in industries boosts the market growth.

Key Strategic Developments in Industrial Chillers

The industrial growth in the European Union, supported by the rise in demand for various products such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, requires heavy machinery, such as industrial chillers, for manufacturing. A few manufacturers of such types of machinery include Cosmotec, Pfannenberg Group Holding GmbH, Daikin Industries Ltd, Aggreko, MTA SpA, Johnson Controls, HYFRA Industrial Cooling Systems GmbH, and Frigel Firenze SpA, among others. These companies are engaged in adopting key strategies, such as business expansion, product launch, product development, and investment, to remain competitive in the market. A few of the key developments adopted by the players operating in the market are mentioned below:

  • In March 2024, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd announced its plan to add Hydrolution PRO air-cooled heat pump chillers to its product portfolio for the European market by the end of 2024. The three models will have the capacity of 50 kW, 75 kW, and 100 kW classes, respectively, which will be used for heating and cooling in residential, commercial, and industrial applications in Europe.
  • In August 2024, Aggreko invested in the cooling fleet for industrial applications in Europe. The company aims to introduce reliable, clean, and energy-efficient cooling solutions in the region. With this, the company is expected to grow its chillers portfolio to maintain critical operations in the industrial environment.

Such key developments in the industrial chillers market are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the Europe industrial chillers market growth in the coming years.
