SEGMENTATION

By Type Analysis

“The Reciprocating Compressors Segment Is Expected to Hold the Maximum Market Share Throughout the Forecast Period”

The commercial refrigeration compressors market has been segmented into reciprocating, screw, rotary, and others. The reciprocating segment held the largest market share in 2018 which is followed by rotary segment owing to its wide commercial as well as domestic applications. However, the rotary compressors are expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period as it is also widely used in commercial and residential split systems. The screw compressors are used in large commercial applications and scroll compressors are largely used in commercial heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The rising demand for air conditioners and refrigeration systems in urban and semi-urban cities for both commercial and domestic usage would boost the market for commercial refrigeration compressors during the forecast period 2019 – 2026.

By Cooling Capacity Analysis

“The 1-15 kW Cooling Capacity Segment is Expected to Hold the Maximum Market Share Throughout the Forecast Period”

Based on Cooling capacity, the scope of study takes into consideration Up to 1 kW, 1 – 15 kW, 15 – 100 kW and Above 100 kW

The specific power consumption (kW) is a valuable indicator of the performance of refrigeration system. By measuring refrigeration duty performed in the kilowatt inputs, kW is used as a reference indicator for energy performance. The 1-15 KW cooling capacity segment is expected to hold the highest market share throughout the forecast period followed by 15-100 kW cooling capacity refrigeration compressors. This segment is prominent owing to the reciprocating compressors falling under this category which have energy usage of 1.0-1.3 kW.

By Application Analysis

“Transport Refrigeration Compressor is Expected to Exhibit the Fastest Growth in the Market During the Forecast Period.”

Based on Application, the market is segmented into Refrigerator and freezer, Refrigerated Display Cases, Transport Refrigeration, Beverage Coolers and Freezers, Others (Vending & Ice Machines)

The transport refrigeration compressors are expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for frozen food, expansion of the pharmaceutical industry, rising per capita income, and increasing cross-continent & highway networks for quicker road freight transportation. Growth of transport refrigeration also helps in minimizing food wastage, so the penetration rate of transport refrigeration in developing countries is very high.

Furthermore, the refrigerated display cases, as well as beverage coolers and freezers, are expected to have the fastest growth followed by transport refrigeration system owing to the rapidly expanding number of hypermarkets and supermarkets globally during the forecast period 2019-2026.
