세계의 냉동 쿨러 시장(-2030년) : 제품 유형, 냉매 유형, 기술, 최종 사용자, 지역별 예측 및 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Refrigeration Coolers Market is accounted for $4.54 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $7.41 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. Refrigeration coolers are systems or devices designed to maintain or lower the temperature of substances or environments. They work by transferring heat from the interior to the surroundings, typically through refrigeration cycles using refrigerants. They maintain precise temperature regulation to protect perishable items, equipment, or delicate materials, thereby preserving product quality and preventing deterioration or harm.

According to the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), the total capacity of refrigerated warehouses worldwide was 616 million cubic meters in 2018.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing urbanization and population growth

As urban areas expand, there is a surge in the need for food, pharmaceuticals, and other perishable goods, requiring efficient refrigeration systems. Higher population density results in more consumers, driving demand for refrigerated products in supermarkets, restaurants, and retail chains. Additionally, growing urban lifestyles and e-commerce have led to a rise in food deliveries, further fueling the demand for reliable refrigeration. The expansion of the middle class also increases disposable incomes, boosting consumption of refrigerated items.

Restraint:

Energy consumption concerns

Energy consumption concerns in refrigeration coolers arise due to the high electricity usage required for cooling systems to maintain optimal temperatures, especially in large-scale commercial applications. As energy costs rise and sustainability becomes a priority, businesses face pressure to adopt energy-efficient systems. The growing demand for more energy-efficient solutions adds a layer of complexity, making businesses hesitant to invest in cooling systems, thereby hampering the market expansion.

Opportunity:

Expanding retail & foodservice sectors

With the growth of supermarkets, grocery stores, restaurants, and food delivery services, the need for refrigeration systems to store perishable items such as dairy, meat, fruits, and beverages rises. These coolers help preserve freshness, safety, and quality, which are crucial for meeting consumer demands and regulatory requirements. Furthermore, the expansion of e-commerce platforms for grocery deliveries enhances the need for dependable and efficient refrigeration solutions. As these industries grow, the need for reliable, energy-efficient refrigeration coolers intensifies, leading to accelerated market growth.

Threat:

High upfront costs

Refrigeration coolers have high upfront costs due to the expense of advanced technology, energy-efficient systems, and quality materials required for durable and reliable performance. Installation costs, specialized components, and compliance with safety and environmental standards also contribute to the initial investment. The need for ongoing maintenance and potential repairs further adds to financial strain, which hampers market growth.

Covid-19 Impact

The covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted the refrigeration coolers market, disrupting supply chains and manufacturing activities. Demand surged for cold storage solutions in the healthcare and food sectors due to the need for vaccine distribution and increased food delivery services. However, the market faced challenges like delayed shipments, labor shortages, and higher costs. While demand in the pharmaceutical and e-commerce sectors drove growth, the overall market saw fluctuations in growth due to economic uncertainties and restrictions on businesses.

The built-in coolers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The built-in coolers segment is predicted to secure the largest market share throughout the forecast period. Built-in coolers are refrigeration units designed to be seamlessly integrated into kitchen or living spaces, offering a sleek and efficient cooling solution. Typically installed under countertops or within cabinetry, these coolers are ideal for homes, offices, and commercial establishments. They provide a space-saving and aesthetically pleasing way to store beverages, food, and other perishable items while maintaining consistent temperatures.

The food & beverage industry segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The food & beverage industry segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In the food and beverage industry, refrigeration coolers play a crucial role in preserving perishable products, maintaining product quality, and extending shelf life. They are vital in supermarkets, restaurants, warehouses, and food processing plants, helping to prevent spoilage, contamination, and waste. Refrigeration coolers also support efficient supply chain management and are key to maintaining freshness during transportation and storage.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is expected to register the largest market share during the forecast period driven by rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and expanding industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, and retail. Countries such as China, India, and Japan are major contributors due to their large populations and increasing demand for cold storage solutions. Government initiatives promoting energy-efficient and eco-friendly refrigeration technologies are further accelerating market expansion in the region.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is expected to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast period fuelled by increasing demand from sectors like food retail, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare. The U.S. and Canada are major markets, with a focus on energy-efficient and sustainable refrigeration solutions. The rise in e-commerce and the food delivery industry further boosts the need for refrigeration systems, especially for perishable goods. Additionally, advancements in smart refrigeration technology are gaining traction in the region.
