Market Segmentation
Rising disposable incomes, industrialization, and other demographic shifts have resulted in considerable changes in food consumption habits of the global population in recent years. Improvements in food supply chains, accompanied by economic development and the gradual elimination of dietary deficiencies, have also resulted in drastic changes to consumption patterns over the last decade. These factors, coupled with a rapidly expanding frozen foods market, are expected to fuel global demand for commercial refrigeration systems in the near future. A significant increase in the working-class population, coupled with busy lifestyles, changing consumer purchasing patterns, availability of a wide range of frozen food products in different categories, and better value proposition have led to the growing demand for cold storage facilities.
Industrial refrigeration systems impact the environment in different ways, including high energy consumption of several refrigeration processes involved in the pre-processing of temperature-sensitive goods. Refrigeration systems are energy-intensive, and their installation requires skilled labor. High investment costs and the complexities arising during installation could hamper the widespread adoption of these systems to a certain level, especially in developing economies. A refrigeration system consists of different components, including evaporators, compressors, controls, and condensers. In custom-designed systems, each part may come from a different manufacturer, or equipment may come as an integrated packaged unit. The tailored systems of assembled components are individually tested and rated under design operating but are not an integral unit system. Therefore, based on the deviation between the real operating conditions and the test conditions, coupled with the interactions between the various components in the system, it is possible that the individual components in the assembled refrigeration plant would not provide optimal operation, resulting in lower operating efficiency and higher operating costs.
Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a vital part of industrial refrigeration, bringing with it innovative features such as increased efficiency, real-time monitoring, and maintenance and diagnostics. IoT technology-enabled systems offer customers tracking abilities for power consumptions, internal and external humidity, temperature, and more. Users can make informed decisions about their power consumption and operations by using accurate refrigeration systems trends. Through real-time monitoring, personnel can manage their systems from their smartphones or smart devices and set alarm on reaching a certain temperature which becomes a crucial factor at times of emergencies. For instance, with intelligent industrial refrigeration monitoring, systems can operate at full capacity when required and can operate with a lower power consumption when less cooling is required, leading to reduced costs. The IoT technology also enables the user with insights to schedule maintenance on their systems when needed and predict problems before they arise.
