Industry Dynamics

Industry Trends

One of the major trends witnessed in the APAC commercial refrigeration market is a shift from fluorinated refrigerants to natural refrigerants owing to the increasing concern towards global warming.

Growth Drivers

The growth of the commercial refrigeration equipment market is driven by two key factors: the expansion of the food and beverage industry and rapid urbanization.

In the 21st century, Asian countries experienced significant industrial growth and a rise in disposable income, leading to a rapid increase in urbanization. As the population in Asia continues to grow, more people are migrating to urban areas in search of better living standards and job opportunities. This demographic shift has resulted in a surge in the number of supermarkets, hypermarkets, hotels, restaurants, and other commercial establishments. Consequently, there is a growing demand for commercial refrigeration equipment to cater to the needs of these businesses.

According to the United States Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, the Asia-Pacific region has traditionally been predominantly rural. However, starting from 2018, there has been a notable shift with more people now residing in urban areas than in rural areas. The region currently houses over 2.1 billion urban residents, accounting for approximately 60 percent of the world's urban population. From 1980 to 2010, the number of cities in the region grew by more than 1 billion, and it is projected that another billion will be added by 2040. This continuous urbanization trend further contributes to the increasing demand for commercial refrigeration equipment.

Overall, the growth of the commercial refrigeration equipment market can be attributed to the expansion of the food and beverage industry and the ongoing process of rapid urbanization in Asian countries.
