The food and beverage industry's expansion, driven by increasing population, urbanization, and changing consumer preferences, is creating a robust demand for industrial refrigeration systems. Cold storage and refrigeration solutions are essential for food preservation and ensuring a steady supply of perishable goods.

Adoption of Natural Refrigerants: There is a growing trend towards the adoption of natural refrigerants, such as ammonia, CO2 (carbon dioxide), and hydrocarbons, due to their lower global warming potential (GWP) and ozone depletion potential (ODP). Industrial refrigeration systems using natural refrigerants are gaining popularity as industries seek more sustainable and eco-friendly solutions.

In 2022, North America held the largest share of revenue, surpassing 32.0%, and is projected to maintain steady growth during the forecast period. The primary driver of market development in the region is the rapid expansion of the e-commerce platform. The rise of online grocery shopping has significantly influenced consumer buying behavior, making it a lifestyle requirement. As a result, retailers are facing the need to store perishable goods at specific temperatures set by Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations, thereby increasing the demand for suitable refrigerated storage systems. Additionally, the ongoing clinical trials and research efforts aimed at combating the spread of COVID-19 across North America are also contributing to the market's growth.
