Growth of the cold-storage industry
North America Blast chiller industry can help reduce food waste by fast cooling newly cooked/baked food, extending its shelf life and keeping it safe for later use. Food waste, particularly perishables such as meat, dairy, fruits, and vegetables, causes significant economic losses for food enterprises. The lack of proper refrigeration and freezing infrastructure has significantly contributed to North America food waste. Retailers are increasingly adopting blast chillers to decrease perishable waste. Supermarkets employ blast chillers to cool meat, prepared meals, and baked products. Reducing waste increases profitability and promotes sustainability, as such encouraging blast chiller use. The increasing demand of food service sector in North America create opportunity for cold storage chain. Food service sector is comprised of two major segments commercial and non-commercial subsectors. Canada commercial food service sub-sector is accounted for $62 billion, representing 82% of total food service sales in 2022. Low blast chiller penetration, along with increased consumer awareness of food safety and quality in these countries including Canada, Mexico and the U.S, creates attractive opportunities to install blast chillers. Companies are creating low-cost blast chillers to target the mass market and local production contributes to reduce prices.
Growth of food and beverages and pharmaceutical industries
The foodservice business has grown substantially over the last decade, driven by changing consumer lifestyles, an increase in dining out culture, and an expanding tourist sector. For Instance, Canada is the largest export market for consumer-oriented items including Beef & Beef Products, Dairy Products, and Baked Goods, Cereals, & Pasta, that made in the United States. In 2022, the U.S consumer-oriented exports to Canada were $19.9 billion, accounting for 24% of the entire value of US consumer-oriented exports globally. North America Blast chiller market enable these enterprises to manage large food volumes while ensuring quality and safety. This device permits the quick chilling of cooked and baked goods to acceptable temperatures, allowing for bulk preparation in advance. With continuous expansion in the foodservice business in emerging nations, demand for blast chillers is expected to increase dramatically.
By Product Type
The Under Counter Blast Chiller segment is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
Furthermore, blast chillers offer accurate temperature regulation and consistency, enabling pharmaceutical products to be quickly and evenly frozen to low temperatures. This is essential for maintaining the effectiveness and stability of temperature-sensitive medications, vaccines, biological samples, and other pharmaceutical items. By rapidly chilling these products, blast chillers can prolong their shelf life. The chilling process slows down degradation and chemical reactions, thereby preserving the potency and efficacy of drugs and vaccines for an extended duration. This can greatly benefit pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors, and healthcare providers by minimizing waste and ensuring the integrity of their products.
Technology advancement in blast chillers
The key advancements in blast chiller machines, such as the integration of smart touch screen controllers that operate all the functions of chiller from outside the machine, which boosted the demand of blast chillers market. The latest models of blast chillers come with smart and automatic defrost functions, which ensure optimal consumption of energy and maximum performance owing to effective probe settings. The machines are also inbuilt with safety sensors that stop the fan motor in case of any disruption during the chilling or freezing cycles. These latest technologies are attracting an increasing number of prospective customers of blast chillers across the North America. For Instance, In May 2021, Welbilt, a global producer of commercial foodservice equipment, is pleased to announce that Nuovair roll-in blast chillers is distributed exclusively in the United States and Canada. Partners with Nuovair to supply North America's most powerful blast chiller. Such innovative feature incorporates the industry's highest air-flow rate, boasting an impressive 9m3/hr, and leverages cutting-edge technology with an electronic expansion valve. The utilization of this electronic valve sets a new standard by delivering up to 25% faster cooling compared to traditional manual valves. The integration of smart technology has enabled remote monitoring and control, allowing chefs and kitchen workers to oversee the chilling process from afar. Energy efficiency has also been a focus, with the development of environmentally friendly refrigerants and insulating materials that assist to achieve sustainability goals.
