At 16.2% CAGR, Europe Cold Storage Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 91,055.74 Million by 2030, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights' research, the Europe cold storage market was valued at US$ 27,314.27 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 91,055.74 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 16.2% from 2022 to 2030. Sustainable refrigeration & storage technologies and increasing demand for convenience food among consumers are among the critical factors attributed to drive the Europe cold storage market growth.

The application of transcritical CO2 systems uses carbon dioxide (CO2) as a refrigerant, which has a very low ozone depletion potential (ODP). Unlike conventional refrigerants such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), which contribute to ozone layer depletion, CO2 does not damage the ozone layer. This characteristic makes cold storage transcritical CO2 refrigeration systems environmentally friendly and supports global efforts to phase out ozone-depleting substances. Transcritical CO2 systems have a substantially minimalized global warming potential (GWP) compared to many conventional cold storage facilities. GWP measures the ability of greenhouse gases to impact global warming over a definite period. CO2 has a GWP of 1, whereas HFCs commonly used in refrigeration systems have GWPs in the thousands or even tens of thousands. By using CO2 as a refrigerant, transcritical systems help moderate climate change and reduce the carbon footprint of cooling and refrigeration applications. Overall, the low environmental impact of cold storage transcritical CO2 systems are driving the market by supporting global environmental objectives. As the need for sustainable refrigeration and storage solutions continues to develop, cold storage transcritical CO2 technology offers a viable and smart option for businesses across various sectors. Furthermore, the application of cold thermal storage technology is also one of the environment-friendly alternatives for storage facilities that can provide opportunities for the cold storage market over the forecast period.

On the contrary, adverse impact of cold storage facilities on environment hurdle the growth of Europe cold storage market.
