Global Commercial Refrigeration Equipment
Description
Global Commercial Refrigeration Equipment
Global demand for commercial refrigeration equipment is forecast to increase 5.4% per year to $52.9 billion in 2028. In real terms, growth is expected to accelerate due to:
- rising personal incomes, allowing for increased consumer spending on frozen and refrigerated products
- advances in manufacturing activity, particularly food and beverage and pharmaceutical production
- the construction of new stores, restaurants, shopping centers, airports, hotels, resorts, research facilities and other nonresidential buildings that employ refrigeration equipment
Nearly 70% of Gains to be Concentrated in the Asia/Pacific Region & North AmericaThe Asia/Pacific region and North America are expected to account for 37% and 32% of new global commercial refrigeration equipment demand through 2028, respectively:
- Demand in the Asia/Pacific region will be driven by China, which is expected to account for nearly half of Asia/Pacific market gains through 2028 as the country’s output of food and beverages and pharmaceuticals grows at a healthy pace. The region will also see above average growth among a number of developing refrigeration equipment markets, such as India and Indonesia.
- Gains in North America will be driven by the US, where an improved outlook for nonresidential building construction will boost demand for refrigeration equipment in hotels, restaurants, educational buildings, and healthcare facilities.
The Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Market to be Heavily Impacted by New Regulations
Many countries are expected to adopt new technical standards, safety rules, and environmental regulations by 2028. These new standards will support technological innovation, in turn raising equipment prices while also spurring product sales. Because refrigeration machinery has a major impact on the environment, the adoption of new environmental regulations will continue apace:
- The EU adopted the new F-gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573 in February 2024. Building on its predecessors, the regulation was designed to phase out hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are used in some refrigerants. Additionally, the EU is also looking at phasing out per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) which are used in some refrigerants. A proposal on a phase out is likely in the near term.
- The American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020, administered by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), aims to reduce the production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) by 85% by 2036. As part of these regulations, manufacturers are transitioning to alternative refrigerants.
