Chiller Market Size, Share and Growth Analysis Report - Forecast Trends and Outlook (2025-2034)

The global chiller market size reached a value of more than USD 11.41 Billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.90% between 2025 and 2034, likely to attain a value of USD 16.73 Billion by 2034.

Global Chillers Market Trends

Chillers refer to the type of machine that is utilized in industrial fields and HVAC systems to provide cooling and heating services. It circulates coolant around the chiller to remove the heat from a target object. After the heat is absorbed by the coolant, it then goes through cooling process where outside water or air is taken to reduce the temperature of the coolant. The coolant that has cooled down is then reused to cool the target object, creating a loop that provides continuous cooling of the target object.

Increasing Demand for Cooling Form Different Industries

Industrial operations produce a lot of heating due to friction between components in high powered equipments, making chiller units necessary to ensure the proper functioning of an equipment. The increasing industrial activities has propelled the demand for chiller systems, enhancing the market growth.

Rising Adoption of Chiller Systems in Food and Beverage Industry

The food production industry has been increasingly implementing chilling machines due to rising consumption of frozen and packaged foods. During the processing of products, a lot of heat is generated, and it is essential to remove the heat so the product can be stored in a proper form.

Types of Chillers in the Market

Based on types, the market bifurcations include screw, scroll, and centrifugal, among others. Among these segments, centrifugal chillers are expected to hold a significant share of the market, owing to their increased utilisation because of their low maintenance and manufacturing costs.

Centrifugal chillers are cooling systems that utilise a vapour compression cycle to cool down by collecting heat from one water loop and compressor to a second water loop that is cooled by a cooling water tower. It is capable of providing high capacity while maintaining excellent energy efficiency.

Industries in the Market that Utilise Chillers

Based on industries, the market can be segmented into food and beverage, plastic and rubber, chemicals and petrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals, among others.

The plastic and rubber industry is expected to hold a significant share of the market owing to the increasing utilization of plastic products across various applications in the plastic industry. Companies have also started to increase the implementation of Chillers to cool down the equipment used in the manufacturing process. The rising demand from this industry will significantly help market growth.

The food and beverage industry follows the plastic and rubber industry with a rapid growth rate which can be attributed to the increasing consumption of frozen food. They are utilized to draw the heat away from products after various processes including mixing, cooking, or fermentation, among other processes.
