Centrifugal chillers market is anticipated to grow at a moderate CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The market growth is driven by the rising demand of chillers in the end-user industries, such as hospitals, hotels, manufacturing plants and more. The market growth in the industrial sector is attributed to the lower energy usage and higher energy efficiencies offered by centrifugal chillers. The growing industrialization in the developing economies, due to supporting government policies is also expanding the need for thechillers. The benefits offered the chillers such as low procurement and maintenance cost, have also contributed to thedemand of chillers.
Market Dynamics
Increasing Adoption of Cold Chain Infrastructure
The growth in the centrifugal chillers market is instigated by the rising adoption of cold chain infrastructure, especially in agriculture, and the food & beverage industry to sustain food, and crops for a longer duration alongside reducing the use of preservatives, and processing. For instance, India's Integrated Cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure scheme promotes integrated and complete cold chain facilities without any break from the farm gate to the consumer, to reduce losses by improving efficiency in the collection of farmers' produce, storage, transportation, and minimal processing. Both horticultural and non-horticultural produce are eligible for support under this scheme. Under this scheme, as of December 31, 2022, a cold storage capacity of 8.38 lakh MT has been created.
In industrial environments, the purpose of a chiller is to provide precision temperature control to ensure safe, productive, and efficient working processes. The rising demand for centrifugal chillers is also driven by growth in manufacturing industries across domains including pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, chemicals, and others. For instance, as per the International Trade Administration, by 2025, 84.0% of German manufacturers plan to invest $10.5 billion annually into smart manufacturing technologies, including the automotive industry at approx. $1.2 billion per year, machinery & equipment and plant engineering and construction at $1.5 billion, the electronics and microelectronics industry at approximately $817.0 million per year, and the metalworking industry at $424.0 million per year. Further, 15 million employees are directly and indirectly involved in advanced manufacturing industries in Germany.
Segmental Outlook
Our in-depth analysis of the global centrifugal chillers market includes the following segments by type, tonnage, and industry.
Water Cooled Centrifugal Chillers is the Most Prominent Centrifugal Chillers Type
Water cooled centrifugal chillers is the leading market segment as water cooled chillers are less energy-intensive as compared to air-cooled chillers. Also, water has a larger heat limit than air, making it inherently easier to cool down.
Above 2000 Ton is the Biggest Tonnage Sub-Segment
2000–6000-ton centrifugal chillers segment holds the largest market share, due to its wide application across industries, manufacturing plants, agricultural units, data centers, and commercial buildings requiring high-capacity chillers to maintain optimum temperatures in large premises.
Data Centers are Expected to Hold a Considerable Market Share
The demand for chillers has exponentially increased in the data center industry attributed to increasing demand for cloud storage, and the growth of the data center industry which is expected to further rise with the rising demand for data centers. For instance, in March 2024 Carrier launched a new line of high-performance chillers for data centers, aimed at reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions while lowering operating costs for operators. The units, which range in capacity from 400 kW to 2100kW. The units are built on Carrier screw compressors.
Regional Outlook
The global centrifugal chillers market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Global Centrifugal Chillers Market Growth by Region 2024-2031
Asia-pacific is Estimated to Demonstrate a Significant Market Growth
Asia-Pacific is predicted to demonstrate highest growth rate in the coming years attributed to the ongoing increase in expenditure made by regional companies to improve production capacity, rising consumption of centrifugal chiller in the manufacturing sector, and growth in cold chain infrastructure in the region. Also, this region is a manufacturing and service outsourcing location for big firms looking to increase market share. For instance, as per IBEF India, Indian manufacturing exports have registered highest highest-ever annual exports of $447.4 billion with 6.0% growth during 2022surpassing the previous year's (2021) exports of $422.0 billion. Also, it is estimated to add more than $500.0 billion annually to the global economy, by 2030.
Market Players Outlook
*Note: Major Players Sorted in No Particular Order.
The major companies serving the global centrifugal chillers market include Honeywell International Inc. Carrier Corp., Linde plc., Daikin Industries Ltd., and Blue Star Ltd. among others. The market players are focusing on capitalizing on growth by adopting strategies such as collaboration, partnerships, and market expansion among others. For instance, in May 2022, Daikin Singapore and SP Group announced the formation of a new joint venture, after an earlier announcement by STMicroelectronics (ST) and SP to establish Singapore's largest industrial district cooling system for ST's Ang Mo Kio TechnoPark. The venture will construct a District Cooling System (DCS) with a cooling capacity of up to 36,000 Refrigerant Tons (RT). The project is anticipated to complete by 2025, and will assist ST achieve 20.0% yearly savings in cooling-related electricity usage and support ST's goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2027.
