Description

North America Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Market Summary

The North America commercial refrigeration equipment market size was estimated at USD 16.89 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 22.12 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2025 to 2030. The market growth is driven by the rapid expansion of the food retail, hospitality, and foodservice sectors across the region, along with increasing demand for energy-efficient and sustainable refrigeration solutions. Rising consumer preference for fresh, organic, and ready-to-eat foods is prompting businesses to invest in advanced refrigeration technologies that ensure product quality and regulatory compliance. Government regulations targeting the phase-down of high-GWP refrigerants are accelerating the adoption of natural refrigerants and low-emission systems.

The growth of the North America commercial refrigeration equipment industry is fueled by rising demand for energy-efficient, high-performance refrigeration units that extend food shelf life and lower energy usage. Hypermarkets are investing heavily in large-capacity, modular systems to support expanding fresh and frozen food sections. The focus on sustainable retailing, increasing consumer demand for organic and ready-to-eat foods, and the need for cold-chain reliability are accelerating adoption. Smart technologies like IoT sensors, real-time energy optimization, and predictive maintenance are further positioning hypermarkets as key innovators in the North America commercial refrigeration equipment industry.

The increasing demand for organic, artisanal, and premium food products is driving robust growth in this segment within the North America commercial refrigeration equipment industry. Specialty food retailers are investing in compact, modular refrigeration units that offer energy efficiency, low noise levels, and adaptable configurations for space-constrained environments. The integration of IoT-enabled temperature monitoring, remote diagnostics, and intelligent inventory systems is improving food safety, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. Additionally, the push for sustainable cooling solutions in response to evolving environmental regulations positions this segment as a key contributor to innovation and eco-conscious transformation in the market.

The rapid adoption of refrigeration equipment in the hospitality sector is driven by its critical role in storing perishable items, displaying beverages, and ensuring food safety. The expansion of tourism and luxury hotel infrastructure, along with growing demand for premium in-room dining and buffet services, is fueling market growth. Hotels are increasingly upgrading to energy-efficient, space-optimized, and smart refrigeration systems to reduce operational costs and meet sustainability goals. The use of low-GWP refrigerants and IoT-enabled monitoring solutions is gaining momentum, positioning this segment as a key contributor to future innovation in the North America commercial refrigeration equipment industry.

Transportation refrigeration equipment is evolving rapidly, driven by the growing need to maintain temperature-sensitive goods, especially in the food and pharmaceutical sectors. Rising trade, e-commerce, and demand for fresh products are fueling the need for efficient, tech-enabled refrigerated transport. Innovations like IoT-based monitoring and electric-powered units are improving control, safety, and sustainability. For instance, in June 2025, Thermo King launched a fully electric trailer refrigeration unit in North America, supporting zero-emission transport and reflecting the region's push toward greener cold chain solutions.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
