Commercial Refrigeration Equipment
Demand to rise more than 4% annually through 2012
Demand for commercial refrigeration equipment in the US is forecast to grow more than four percent per year through 2012, exceeding $9 billion. Gains will result from the growing number of foodservice operators and food retailers. However, these firms face narrow margins due to high food prices and intense competition for the consumer dollar, thereby limiting replacement opportunities at existing locations.
Foodservice is expected to be the most rapidly growing market through 2012. About 48 percent of all consumer food expenditures in 2007 occurred outside the home at foodservice outlets such as restaurants, bars and cafeterias. Growth in the number of foodservice operators will continue to increase, benefitting commercial refrigeration equipment demand. The food and beverage retail market will post gains, due to the rising number of food retailers in the US. In addition, consumers’ growing appetite for a widening range of refrigerated foods will increase the amount of equipment per store.

More DetailsCryogenic equipment, display cases to exhibit best growthCommercial refrigeration products expected to experience the best growth are cryogenic equipment and display cases. Cryogenic equipment will benefit from the rising level of expenditures on health care in the US, as well as from increasing medical and scientific research. Display cases will benefit from the need of retailers to maintain new, aesthetically pleasing displays to encourage impulse purchasing. In addition, the number of display cases per store is expected to rise.
Transportation refrigeration equipment is the largest product segment, due to the high unit cost of this equipment and to the rising level of refrigerated food shipped in the US. Gains in this segment will be adversely affected by high fuel prices, which will continue to affect profit margins for fleet operators.
Industry structureManufacturers of commercial refrigeration equipment for the US market range from small privately held concerns to multinational corporations with billions of dollars in annual sales. Many commercial refrigeration equipment manufacturers are also involved in the broader heating, air conditioning or residential refrigeration industries.
