Biomedical Refrigerators and Freezers Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product (Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) Freezers, Combined Refrigerator & Freezer, Cryo Freezers), By End User (Hospitals, Blood Banks, Clinical and Pathology Laboratories, Others (Pharmacies, etc.)) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Temperature accuracy and monitoring are important aspects in medical science in order to preserve and store temperature sensitive biomedical components that are frequently used for healthcare processes. One such medical equipment, biomedical refrigerator and freezer is used to store and preserve biomedical materials such as medicines, blood cells, vaccines, enzyme & reagents, DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) and others.

Technologically modern biomedical refrigerators offer certain features such as low energy consumption, lower noise level, power failure alarm, longer duration battery backup, digital display and others.

According to the data published by Pharmaceutical Commerce’s annual Biopharma (PCaB) Cold Chain Sourcebook, in 2017, the demand for temperature-controlled products is increasing twice as compared to non-temperature-controlled products. These along with factors such as increasing prevalence of chronic disease, increasing demand for storing blood samples, biological products, DNA and certain chemicals are anticipated to drive the biomedical refrigerators and freezers market growth.

However, shortcomings of distribution channel supported by low pricing policies of local market players is expected to challenge the expectation of key market players  and can hamper the global biomedical refrigerators and freezers market growth during the forecast period.

Key Players Covered

The major companies in the global biomedical refrigerators and freezers market report include Arctiko, Helmer Scientific, Philipp Kirsch GmbH, TERUMO CORPORATION, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., PHC Holdings Corporation, Haier Inc., Eppendorf AG, Aegis Scientific, Inc., B Medical Systems and others.
