Market Overview:

The global Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Market was valued at USD 32.23 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 40.45 billion by the year 2028, at a CAGR of 3.3%.

Commercial Refrigeration involves removing excess heat from a material source to lower its temperature below the surrounding environment. It is used to preserve perishable food items like fruits, vegetables, and meat by maintaining specific temperatures to extend their shelf life. The market for refrigeration is expected to witness significant growth due to the adoption of energy-efficient and sustainable technology, leading to the replacement of existing equipment. Specialized refrigeration equipment can rapidly lower food temperature from 90°C to 30°C, preventing bacterial growth. The global demand for packaged food is predicted to increase moderately, driving the commercial refrigeration equipment market. Moreover, stricter food safety regulations will likely further boost the demand for such equipment in the forecast period.
