The Food & Beverages Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share of the Global Absorption Chillers Market

The huge portions of the global absorption chillers market are going to be held by the food & beverages (F&B) sub-segment, as they have a high cooling demand in food processing, storage, and preservation areas. The industry gives preference to sustainable and energy-efficient cooling solutions, where using waste heat, steam, or natural gas by absorption of chillers instead of electricity facilitates clean development. Furthermore, the escalating demand for cold chain logistics, which is being propelled by the rising frozen and processed food consumption, is the major reason for the absorption of chillers to be the latest adoption in 2023. Government regulations requiring food safety and energy-efficient refrigeration solutions also make the market grow. Besides, the rapid growth of the beverage industry is one of the driving factors in the absorption of chillers for breweries and distilleries, which are used for fermentation or storage processes.
