The ultra-low temperature freezer market is expected to grow from US$ 619.89 million in 2022 to US$ 902.08 million by 2030; it is anticipated to register a CAGR of 4.8% from 2022 to 2030.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

The ultra-low temperature freezer market size is expanding with the rising R&D activities to introduce new drug compounds, increasing demand for blood & blood components, and growing government support for research activities and clinical trials. In addition, the availability of advanced products by market players drives the market growth. Thermo Scientific Revco RLE –86°C upright freezers are available in five capacities, storing 300 up to 700 2-inch boxes. These freezers provide outstanding thermal performance, safety, and security.     

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

Biological research specimens need storage at temperatures below –80°C, i.e., at ultralow temperature (ULT) values. The ULT feature is providing an alternative to standard compressor-based cooling technology that keeps getting better as the understanding of it grows. Innovative products offered by Haier Biomedical include smart frequency conversion technology ULT freezers that boast an unparalleled energy consumption figure of just 8.2 Kwhr/day with a unit capacity of 829 L/29.2 ft3. In October 2022, Thermo Fisher Scientific launched a new freezer to its ultra-low temperature (ULT) green portfolio, the Thermo Scientific TDE Series -80°C Chest Freezer. The freezer is powered by H-drive hydrocarbon systems, and it enhances the performances required for vital research without compromising sustainability goals. In June 2023, BioLife Solutions’s Stirling ultracold upright ULT freezer ISO class 6 was approved for cleanroom applications in accordance with relevant Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), without compromising biostorage performance or the cleanliness of the environment.

ULT sample storage freezers are a crucial component of many biobanks, clinics, and laboratories globally. These units allow for a wide variety of biological samples, including DNA, RNA, proteins, and cell extracts. A constant power supply is required to maintain low-temperature levels. The International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories stated that the average ULT freezer consumes the same amount of energy, 20 kWh per day, as a single-family home. Considering laboratories and research facilities usually running dozens of these units at once, the operating and energy costs can dominate the user preferences. The average price to run an upright, mechanical ULT freezer can vary from US$ 750 (£570) to US$ 1,000 (£750) per year, depending on several factors such as size, and temperature range. Regular maintenance and maintenance in the form of defrosting can reduce this cost considerably. Moreover, the above-mentioned figures about the ULT freezers do not consider the additional cost of HVAC systems and warm air removal. Thus, the high costs associated with ULT freezers become a severe concern for budget-conscious laboratories and storage facilities.
