LABORATORY CHILLERS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global laboratory chillers market size was USD 0.35 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 0.52 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period.

Laboratory chillers extract heat from one object and relocate it to another, typically through mediums of a liquid. Popularly recognized as refrigerated recirculating liquid cooling system, as it is inclusive of a compressor, condenser, evaporator, pump, and temperature regulator, all in one system. Furthermore laboratory chillers cool and preserve temperatures through one of three main methods. Compressor cycling, related to thermostatic temperature mechanism, upholds a preferred temperature by switching the cooling engine on and off.

Moreover, the product is segmented into two types. Firstly, water cooled laboratory chillers is one of the types of chillers that removes heat from it to cool the water used in projects or industrial or domestic structures and re-enters the water into the operation cycle. With the usage of humid air stream. On the other hand, second type in the laboratory chillers market is  the air cooled chillers which are a kind of refrigeration procedure made for cooling fluids and functions in cooperation with a  premise’s air handler system.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Rise of COVID-19 Inclines Demand of Chillers in the Medical Industry 

On a global scale the COVID-19 pandemic massively and negatively impacted every market, except the medical industry which also kept a flowing increase for the product. This was accounted because, the product is applicable in several medical applications such as medical pharmaceutical lab, research lab and commercial labs. Moreover, as COVID-19 continued to spread worldwide, the medical industry concentrated upon understanding the virus and focused on generating a vaccination. This factor surged the demand for the product because, it consumed in equipment cooling, MRI machines, CT scanners, blood cooling systems, biograph systems, radiation therapy machines, linear accelerator and lasers. Furthermore, these listed equipment were vital and widely consumed in each pharmaceutical company in developing a vaccine to control and minimizing the spread of the virus. Hence, increased the demand for the product during the pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

Hot-Gas Bypass Innovation Revolutionizes the Product

The introduction of hot gas bypass to the product, enhances its productivity and efficiency in a less stressful functioning to the mechanism. As this innovation is a benefitting factor, because it can provide higher relative energy efficiency and boosted compressor life. The main use of hot gas bypass is manipulating the compressor of the chiller, to make it think there’s a load on it when there is not.  Furthermore, a hot-gas bypass strengthens the chiller compressor to remain on functioning continuously rather than conduct hundreds of restarting cycles.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Adoption of Air Cooled Chillers Boosts Market Growth

It is popularly known that the product lets out heat they take in through either water cooled or air cooled chillers, and lets it out into the atmosphere. Moreover, air cooled record a higher demand due to their properties which outdo water cooled chillers. As it needs lesser maintenance, easier for installation and significantly consumes fewer amount of energy all in comparison with water cooled chillers. Furthermore, several companies adopt air cooled chillers as they work best in large areas with smaller chillers, this leads to more convenience for consumers in labs as they have more space available, and get highly efficient chillers. Hence, this adoption of air cooled chillers augment the laboratory chillers market growth.

Application and Pricing of the Product Surges Sales and Market Growth

This is accounted because the chillers applications are not as sensitive to temperature variations as those depending on ovens or freezers, and the products are cheaper in comparison with other lab equipment and systems. Moreover, as price is not the only factor the laboratory managers prefer and look forward to a certain amount of flexibility in obtaining chillers and have the accessibility of being able to purchase in bulk and some number of extra units in expectations of future purposes such as expanded consumption, customer preferences, demand fluctuations and government regulations. Hence, leading towards the growth of the laboratory chillers market share.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Issues with Temperature Control, Compressor and Other Factors Impedes Market Growth

The product comes with several advantages which supports the consumers immensely on the other hand, achieving precise control on temperature setting and the wearing of compressors is the drawback. Since the product is mainly used in medical pharmaceutical, commercial and research labs which are always running and require equipment, which can withstand these conditions. Furthermore, with the disadvantages at hand, the chillers are unable to keep up with required increasing working hours as the compressor tends to overheats with the load and being constantly consumed. For companies to keep up with various and fluctuating market demands, they need to control factors such as  ambient operating temperature, desired process temperature range, temperature control tolerance, process fluid type, process fluid pumping volume, process fluid supply pressure, and most important, the amount of heat to be dispersed from the procedure. It is recorded that, some chillers are unable to exhibit these required factors and force consumers to look for alternatives hence, impeding the market growth of the product globally.
