What are the key application areas for Commercial Refrigeration Equipment?

The global commercial refrigeration equipment market size is estimated to reach USD 58.31 billion by 2030, registering an estimated CAGR of nearly 5.1% from 2022 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The major aspects driving the market growth are the increasing consumption of frozen foods and the significant expansion of the tourism and hospitality industries.

The worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis led to the establishment of stringent containment measures, resulting in a temporary halt in the manufacturing and shipment of commercial refrigeration equipment. However, the pandemic created a strong demand for vaccine production and storage, which triggered the demand for cold storage solutions to support the mass immunization program against the coronavirus. The accelerating usage of vaccine storage units is likely to propel the demand for transportation refrigeration equipment in the subsequent years.
