Refrigerated Incubators Market Outlook and Strategic Insights by 2028

The refrigerated incubators market is projected to reach US$ 822.79 million by 2028 from US$ 562.36 million in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2021 to 2028. 

High adoption of refrigerated incubators by the research centers or laboratories drives the market growth. In the medical sector, working with microorganisms plays a critical role. Efficiently producing and multiplying microorganisms require a stable incubation phase. With the advent of technology, researchers have shifted toward the utility of advanced technology-based incubators or equipment aiming at energy-efficient consumption compared to traditional cooling incubators. For example, the use of cooling incubators at research centers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology centers, and laboratories is high as it reduces energy consumption and minimizes uneven temperature distribution. Also, several top competitive players, such as Binder GmBH, design refrigerated incubators with unique features, such as a compression-refrigeration unit, ensuring a constant temperature flow. Also, the refrigerated incubators work with a particular conventional technology providing a stable and continuous temperature inside the incubator chamber.

Further, with the high advancements and growth in the field of biology through the influx of pharmaceuticals, zoology, microbiology, genetics, and ecology, the requirement for advanced technology-based refrigerated incubators is all-time high. Top competitive players, such as Being Scientific Inc., offer advanced technology-based refrigerated incubators to facilitate the growth and storage of biological specimens. Also, the company's product offerings have high shift or focus towards designing of advanced technology-based refrigerated incubators comprising critical applications. These include Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), effective for wastewater testing having high applicability in microbiology labs, cell biology labs, and pharmaceutical labs proving effective for the storage of drugs and biological specimens. Therefore, rising R&D activities and top players contributing to innovative product launches related to refrigerated incubators result in high acceptance worldwide. Such activities further propel sales across the global refrigerated incubators market.

The rising adoption of refrigerated incubators and increasing government funding targeting R&D activities would offer lucrative opportunities for the global refrigerated incubators market during the forecast period. The Public Library of Science (PLOS) report states that in the past few years, numerous challenges have been witnessed related to tackling emerging infectious diseases, particularly anti-microbial resistance (AMR), and neglected diseases (NDs). For example, the Consultative Expert Working Group (CEWG) focuses on R&D financing, and coordination at the World Health Organization (WHO) suggested searching for alternatives related to funding and incentivizing R&D for both innovation and access to emerging infectious diseases. For records, CEWG and Lancet Commission announced global healthcare funding of US$6 billion annually for Anti-microbial Resistance (AMR) and US$10 billion for emerging infections. Therefore, with rising R&D activities targeting emerging infectious diseases and AMR, the adoption of refrigerated incubators has drastically increased over the years.

Currently, manufacturers are channeling funds for research and development activities to introduce cost-effective and sophisticated refrigerated incubator-based products worldwide. Top competitive players, such as Thermo Fischer Scientific, announced the launching of new refrigerated incubators in regional markets, such as Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. The systems are capable of wide application in pharmaceutical, life sciences, water treatment, microbiological industry, and BOD testing. Such aforementioned factors would bolster the growth of the global refrigerated incubators market during 2021–2028.

North America is likely to dominate the global refrigerated incubators market during 2021–2028. The US holds the largest market share in this region. According to the Clinical Trials.gov report, the New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) conducts research for studying different conditions and diseases by utilizing stem cells and other types of cells, conducting research on biological specimens/samples, performing genetic testing, and storing these samples for short duration intended for future use. Additionally, researchers at the US laboratories are creating pancreatin insulin-producing cells to identify Type 1 diabetes, brain cells, and Parkinson's disease. Such factors highly support the adoption of refrigerated incubators in the US laboratories. Further, in the US alone, there are more than 40,000 individual research laboratories located on university campuses involved in advancing the field of biological and biomedical sciences. The research comprises extensive biological samples from clinical and field studies, representing enormous scientific and financial value for the researchers and organizations, such as biotech/pharma companies, biobanks, research institutes, and universities. Such aforementioned factors are expected to propel the global refrigerated incubators market growth during the forecast period.
