Solar Freezer Market Overview - 2030
The global solar freezer market size was valued at $8.0 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $15.5 billion by 2030, with global solar freezer market forecast expected at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2021 to 2030. Solar freezers can play a transformative role in improving people’s health and socio-economic statuses. Rapid urbanization in developing regions and increase in environmental concerns are the key factors that drive global solar freezers growth. Solar Freezers are now used in several end-use applications such as households, dairy, research-labs, medicals, and more. It is a freezer that transfers solar energy into thermal energy for providing low temperature. The basic components present in solar freezer include solar array, panel support structure, battery (optional), and freezer. Solar-battery based and solar-direct drive solar freezer are the most common types used in different end-use applications.
Rapid increase in the demand for vaccine due to COVID-19 pandemic has created abundant demand for solar freezer industry across the globe; thereby, increasing solar freezers share in the medical sector in recent times. Government is the largest buyer of vaccine storage for supply at PHCs and other institutions. Furthermore, increase in demand for refrigerators from rural areas due to improved income and standards of living is another factor increasing global solar freezer market trend. As per the research United Nations in 2018, by 2050, 68% of the world population is expected to live in urban areas. The demand for various medical products and blood has increased during this period, which has also indirectly fueled the demand for solar freezer for storage. Indian government has launched various cooperation methods and partnerships with multinational companies such as Tata, Rockwell, and many start-ups to curb the urgent demand for cold storage and vaccine transportation & storage demand in the rural areas. Several government initiatives are aiming use of renewable energy, scheme implementation to promote use of solar freezers and development support programs on innovations in off-grid refrigeration, which is expected to create abundant solar freezer market opportunities throughout the forecast period.
High upfront cost of technology and lack of consumer financing limit uptake of solar freezers in households, direct sales of milk chilling units exist only for large federations and societies, which are some of the factors restraining the growth of the solar freezer market throughout the globe. However, financing options for solar freezer systems is expected to boost the market sales throughout the forecast period. For instance, as of 2019, Caspian, a social impact investment firm, has invested USD 17 million in the affordable and clean energy sector.
