Market Segmentation
Improvements in technology has allowed manufacturers to build energy-efficient commercial refrigerators. Regulations regarding low energy consumption is driving the adoption of such smart equipment as they allow comprehensive computation of energy consumption. The emergence of low-voltage equipment that consumes minimal electricity is anticipated to drive the market for commercial refrigerators globally. Incorporating refrigerants in the refrigeration systems with high global warming potential has become a matter of concern for the manufacturers. Reduced emission of hazardous gases and decreased operational costs are certain other factors propelling such green technologies' demand over conventional cooling systems.
Shifting trend in food consumption habits have resulted in considerable changes in food consumption over the past few years. Improvement in the food supply chain accompanied by economic development and gradual elimination of dietary deficiencies have drastically changed consumption patterns. The rapidly growing frozen foods market is also expected to fuel the commercial refrigeration demand. Consumers today are adopting quick meals as an alternative to cooking at home and dining out, due to which, fast food restaurants are anticipated to substantially grow over the forecast period. This is further expected to favorably impact market demand for commercial refrigeration equipment over the forecast period.
Major companies invest heavily in technological advancements and research & development of the product, which increases the prices of the appliances equipped with advanced technology. High maintenance cost of contemporary devices is major challenge to the market. Internet of Things (IoT) enabled commercial refrigerators are more expensive than the conventional ones. These refrigerators require frequent maintenance and replacement of worn-out parts. The investment cost, which includes purchase, installation, and accessories, is also higher, which may inhibit the consumers, with a low budget, from buying them. High initial and maintenance costs of these appliances may restrict the market growth over the forecast period.

A three-pronged approach was followed for deducing the commercial refrigeration equipment market estimates and forecasts. The process has three steps: information procurement, analysis, and validation. The whole process is cyclical, and steps repeat until the estimates are validated. The three steps are explained in detail below:
Information procurement: Information procurement is one of the most extensive and important stages in our research process, and quality data is critical for accurate analysis. We followed a multi-channel data collection process for commercial refrigeration equipment market to gather the most reliable and current information possible.
Analysis: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilized different methods of commercial refrigeration equipment market data depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.
Market Research Efforts: Bottom-up Approach for estimating and forecasting demand size and opportunity, top-down Approach for new product forecasting and penetration, and combined approach of both Bottom-up and Top-down for full coverage analysis.
Value-Chain-Based Sizing & Forecasting: Supply-side estimates for understanding potential revenue through competitive benchmarking, forecasting, and penetration modeling.
Demand-side estimates for identifying parent and ancillary markets, segment modeling, and heuristic forecasting.
Qualitative Functional Deployment (QFD) Modelling for market share assessment.
Market formulation and validation: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilize different methods of data analysis depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.
Market Formulation: This step involves the finalization of market numbers. This step on an internal level is designed to manage outputs from the Data Analysis step.
Data Normalization: The final market estimates and forecasts are then aligned and sent to industry experts, in-panel quality control managers for validation.
This step also entails the finalization of the report scope and data representation pattern.
Validation: The process entails multiple levels of validation. All these steps run in parallel, and the study is forwarded for publishing only if all three levels render validated results.
The commercial refrigeration equipment market was categorized into five segments, namely product (Transportation Refrigeration Equipment, Refrigerators & Freezers, Beverage Refrigeration, Display Showcases, Ice Merchandisers & Ice Vending Equipment), system type (Self-contained, Remotely Operated), application (Food Service, Food & Beverage Retail, Food & Beverage Distribution, Food & Beverage Production), capacity (Less than 50 cu. Ft, 50 to 100 cu. Ft, More than 100 cu. Ft), and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa).
The commercial refrigeration equipment market was segmented into product, system type, capacity, application, and regions. The demand at a segment level was deduced using a funnel method. Concepts like the TAM, SAM, SOM, etc., were put into practice to understand the demand. We at GVR deploy three methods to deduce market estimates and determine forecasts.
