Industrial Refrigeration Equipment Market Driver:

Increasing Demand for Cold Chain Infrastructure Drives Industrial Refrigeration Equipment Market Growth

The expansion of online grocery and e-commerce delivery services is driving the demand for efficient cold chain logistics. Companies such as Amazon Fresh and Instacart rely on refrigerated warehouses, delivery vans, and last-mile refrigeration solutions to ensure that the products are delivered to customers in optimal condition. Hence, several companies with cold-chain logistics are increasing their capabilities. For instance, in December 2022, a 5,000 metric-ton capacity cold-storage facility commenced operation in Assam, India. This cold storage facility is the largest in the Northeastern region of the country. These facilities significantly require various refrigeration systems; therefore, many companies in the refrigeration market have launched their refrigeration products for the cold-chain industry.

In addition, consumers increasingly seek fresher and healthier food products, which is surging the demand for fruits, vegetables, dairy, seafood, and other perishable items. To meet these preferences, retailers and producers invest in cold chain infrastructure to maintain product integrity. Various types of equipment are used to maintain temperature-controlled environments, from refrigerated trucks to cold storage warehouses. Thus, the demand for fresh produce and frozen goods across various regions in the food industry necessitates a robust cold chain infrastructure. Cold storage warehouses equipped with temperature control systems enable these businesses to store larger quantities of goods for longer periods, reducing wastage and meeting consumer demands. According to the International Institute for Refrigeration, ~1.661 million metric ton of food produced can be refrigerated. However, only 47% is refrigerated due to a lack of cold storage and infrastructure, leading to 13% of total food production losses. Hence, many countries such as China and India are adopting refrigeration systems for cold storage applications to avoid such losses. Therefore, the demand for cold chain infrastructure is growing due to the increasing international trade of perishable goods, the expanding food industry, and rising consumer expectations for fresh products, which is driving the industrial refrigeration equipment market growth.

Industrial Refrigeration Equipment Market Segmental Analysis:

Based on refrigerant type, the industrial refrigeration equipment market is segmented into ammonia–R717, carbon dioxide (CO2)–R744, and hydrocarbons–HCs. The ammonia–R717 segment held the largest share of the industrial refrigeration equipment market. R717 (Ammonia) is one of the most prevalent refrigerants used in industrial cooling. The refrigerant selection is made on the basis of process parameters such as cooling temperature requirement, plant nature, location condensing, pressure, and efficiency or availability. R717 is an environment-friendly, natural refrigerant. It has a self-alarming pungent odor. Ammonia has an energy-efficient vapor compression cycle. Also, it can be used in conjunction with other secondary fluids, such as water or glycol, for absorption cooling applications. All these properties of ammonia result in less energy consumption and longer life expectancy, leading to reduced operational costs during the full life cycle. Ammonia is widely used in large industrial plants, where its advantages can be completely utilized without compromising the safety of the personnel working with the refrigeration installation. Ammonia has favorable thermodynamic properties. It has zero ODP and zero GWP. Equipment and installation costs remain a challenge for various companies. This is likely to lead to the growth of the industrial refrigeration equipment market during the forecast period.
