Driver: Rapid expansion of cold chain infrastructure driven by e-commerce grocery and pharmaceutical sectors
The rapid development of cold chain infrastructure, propelled by the surge in e-commerce grocery delivery and the growing pharmaceutical distribution network, is significantly driving the commercial refrigeration market. The need for temperature-controlled storage and transportation to maintain product integrity, especially for perishable food and vaccines, has led to increased investments in advanced refrigeration systems, refrigerated warehouses, and last-mile cold logistics solutions. This trend is further strengthened by consumer demand for online grocery platforms and global vaccine distribution efforts, boosting the adoption of reliable and energy-efficient refrigeration technologies.
Restraint: Stringent regulations against the use of fluorocarbon refrigerants enforced by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) under the Montreal Protocol and Kigali Amendment
Stringent regulations against fluorocarbon refrigerants have been implemented globally to address their harmful environmental effects, particularly their contribution to ozone depletion and climate change. These regulations aim to reduce the production, consumption, and emissions of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Thus, regulations imposed on certain refrigerants are expected to hamper the growth of commercial refrigeration market.
Opportunity: Rising demand for energy-efficient refrigeration systems utilizing natural refrigerants (CO2, ammonia, hydrocarbons)
Ammonia/ Carbon Dioxide (NH3/CO2) cascade refrigeration systems have been used for several years. Various advantages of NH3/CO2 cascade refrigeration systems include low operating costs (as they use less energy per ton of refrigeration than other systems), low capital costs and compliance costs, optimal food quality, and increased throughput for food & beverage processing. These factors create opportunities in the commercial refrigeration market during forecast period.
Challenge: The Growing Skilled Labor Shortage in the Refrigeration Industry
The commercial refrigeration sector faces a mounting challenge due to the shortage of skilled technicians and engineers proficient in modern refrigeration technologies. As the industry transitions toward advanced systems using natural refrigerants and IoT-based controls, the demand for technically trained personnel has outpaced supply. This labour gap hampers installation efficiency, maintenance quality, and system optimization, particularly in emerging markets. Consequently, the shortage of skilled labour poses a significant challenge to scaling cold chain capacity and maintaining compliance with evolving environmental standards.
