Singapore Chiller Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The Singapore chiller market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.80% between 2025 and 2034. The market is being driven by the robust growth of the food and beverage and medical and pharmaceutical sectors in Singapore.

Singapore Chiller Market Growth

Rising global temperatures and infrastructure development are expected to compound the urban heat island effect in Singapore, which is expected to raise the demand for cooling between residential and industrial spaces substantially. By 2030, GHG emissions from cooling are expected to contribute 40%  to the national emissions, thereby signifying an important need for establishing sustainable cooling mechanisms.  District cooling networks, that distribute hot/cold water to various buildings through a network of underground pipes, are expected to become important over the forecast period. This is expected to drive the demand for powerful chillers, which can maximise the cooling effect, lower operational costs, and minimise carbon emissions easily.

In 2022, Singapore’s pharmaceutical sector produced products worth $19 billion  for the global market. Increasing investments towards drug discovery and enhancing vaccine manufacturing capacities are expected to play a critical role in driving the demand for chillers in the country. Besides, the expansion of quality testing laboratories and storage facilities is expected to enhance the demand for high quality chillers. Hence, the medical and pharmaceutical sector is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period of 2025-2034.

In February 2024 , food caterers’ sales recorded a year-on-year growth of nearly 40% in Singapore, with restaurants witnessing a similar trend. This is expected to contribute towards the market expansion, as chillers play a critical role in keeping food and its ingredients fresh and minimising wastage.
