HORIZONTAL FREEZER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global horizontal freezer market stood at approximately USD 6.5 billion in 2024 and is expected to rise to USD 7.29 billion in 2025, maintaining a strong growth trajectory to reach USD 18.16 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 12.1% from 2025 to 2033.

It is obvious that freezers are enclosed, refrigerated cabinets or spaces that offer a place for storing food and drinks at low temperatures while maintaining strength. Perishable food and drink goods including vegetables, milk, meat, fish, and others are typically kept in freezers. As technology continues to improve, more space-saving, compact freezers with many uses are being brought to the market.

The increased demand for frozen foods, rising disposable income, and technical developments are all responsible for the market's expansion. Due to its cheap price point and substantial storage capacity, the chest freezer category is predicted to dominate the market over the projection period. As companies increasingly use frozen food as a way to cut costs, commercial applications are anticipated to account for a higher part of the market throughout the projected period.

COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID-19 Pandemic Will Fuel The Market Growth

In the upcoming years, the COVID-19 pandemic will fuel the need for ultra-low temperature freezers. In order to preserve unique COVID-19 samples so that they may be recovered as needed and evaluated to learn more about this emergent respiratory ailment, scientists rely on ultra-low temperature freezers and incubators. For instance, the BINDER CO2 freezer assists scientists and researchers in preserving COVID-19 samples. Due to their safety and anti-contamination qualities, these freezers are crucial. Consequently, the COVID-19 epidemic helped the demand for ultra-low temperature freezers to expand.

LATEST TRENDS

Rising Consumer Demand For Ready-To-Cook Food Fuel The Market Growth

Consumer demand for ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat foods has increased recently, particularly in countries where disposable incomes have increased. With so many prospects for expansion for chest freezer producers in emerging regions, this increase in demand has also encouraged some new entrants.

DRIVING FACTORS

Laboratory Refrigerators Segment Is Anticipated To Hold A Sizable Market Share

Clinical trial expansion and new product introductions are important drivers of market expansion. According to clinicaltrials.gov, there will be about 15,316 clinical studies using biopharmaceuticals registered in the US by 2022. Additionally, 50 medications were authorised globally in 2021 by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). One of the crucial areas to maximise the survivability of the medicine is the usage of biomedical freezers in the lab to keep pharmaceuticals at the appropriate temperature. It is projected that the nation's growing number of clinical studies and medicinal developments would fuel market expansion.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Cost Of ULT Freezers Limit The Market Growth

In the upcoming years, the market for  ultra-low temperature freezer  is anticipated to have slow development due to the high cost of ULT freezers. The majority of laboratories, biobanks, and pharmacies throughout the world are equipped with ultra-low temperature (ULT) sample storage freezers. Numerous biological materials, including cell extracts, proteins, RNA, or DNA, can be preserved using these devices for an extended period of time. A typical upright mechanical freezer may maintain a fixed temperature of -20 °C or -40 °C, however the majority would run at -80 °C. A constant power supply is needed to maintain a lower temperature, which increases energy use and operational expenses. The typical annual running costs for an upright, mechanical ULT freezer can range from $750 to $1000. Therefore, the high operational expenses associated with ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers create challenges for small and medium-sized businesses and restrain the market growth for these products.

HORIZONTAL FREEZER MARKET REGIONAL INSIGHTS

North America Is Anticipated To Have A Sizable Market Share And Is Anticipated To Continue Doing So Throughout The Forecast Period

The need for medication storage may rise as a result of the rising vaccine manufacturing in North America, which is anticipated to occupy a sizable market share in the worldwide biomedical refrigerator and freezer market. ClinicalTrial.gov reports that Canadian pharmaceutical firms and academic institutions have strong R&D pipelines as of April 2021. 5,659 additional research were at different stages of review in the pipeline. 1,397 (24%) of the trials, which covered a wide variety of therapeutic areas and were approved by the FDA or EMA, were in phase III clinical trials. As a result, a growing quantity of vaccinations need to be stored in biomedical freezers. Biobanks are used for a variety of purposes relating to national research initiatives. For instance, CanPath began the genome sequencing of more than 41,000 participants in the Ontario Health Study in April 2021 with a total samples of over 150,000 people from across Canada (OHS). It was conducted out by the Canadian Data Integration Centre utilising the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research's genome technology platform (OICR). Such projects offer appropriate studies to assist several general applications in health research where researchers are looking for hereditary components. These elements may contribute to healthy ageing, disease development, or improving our knowledge of how the environment and genome interact to cause illness. Utilizing biobanks will be necessary to boost market expansion throughout the projection period in order to accommodate these applications and the aforementioned considerations.
