By product type, the transportation refrigeration cases segment is estimated to account for the largest market share, in terms of value, during the forecast period.
Transportation refrigeration is estimated to account for the largest share of the commercial refrigeration market due to the rapid expansion of global trade in perishable goods and the rising demand for temperature-controlled logistics. The increasing consumption of frozen food, dairy, meat, seafood, and pharmaceutical products that require precise temperature management during transit is driving the need for advanced refrigerated trucks, trailers, containers, and railcars. Growth in e-commerce grocery delivery and cross-border food exports has further intensified the requirement for reliable cold chain transportation systems.
By refrigerant type, the fluorocarbons segment is expected to account for the largest market share, in terms of value, during the forecast period.
The fluorocarbons segment is estimated to account for the largest share in the commercial refrigeration market due to their widespread availability, high efficiency, and strong cooling performance across a variety of applications. These refrigerants, including hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), have long been preferred for their thermodynamic stability, nonflammability, and compatibility with existing refrigeration systems. Despite increasing environmental regulations, the continued use of fluorocarbons in regions with less stringent emission standards and in industries requiring high-capacity cooling, such as supermarkets, cold storage, and transportation refrigeration, has sustained their strong market demand.
By application, the food services segment is estimated to account for the largest market share, in terms of value, during the forecast period.
The food services segment is estimated to account for the largest share in the commercial refrigeration market due to the rapid expansion of restaurants, cafeterias, cloud kitchens, and quick-service outlets worldwide. Rising consumer preference for dining out and the surge in online food delivery platforms are driving the demand for large-scale cold storage and display solutions. Additionally, stringent food safety regulations and the growing need to maintain freshness and quality across diverse menu offerings have led to increased adoption of advanced refrigeration systems.
