Biomedical Refrigerators And Freezers Market By Refrigerator & Freezer Type (Blood Bank Refrigerators, Shock Freezers, Laboratory Refrigerators, Laboratory Freezers, Plasma Freezers, Ultra Low Freezers, Cryogenic Storage Systems); By End-User (Hospitals, Pharmacies, Research Laboratories, Blood Banks, Diagnostic Centers, Others) - Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2027

Global Biomedical Refrigerators & Freezers Market Overview

Samples having biological origin with temperature sensitivity need specific conditions for their operational storage. Biomedical refrigerators and freezers are medical equipment that can be used for storing various biomedical samples. These biomedical samples include biological reagents, vaccines, medicines, blood, plasma, blood derivatives, ribonucleic acid (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and flammable chemicals. The continual upsurge in the number of blood banks in developing and developed regions united with government projects aimed at increasing consciousness about blood donation have also supported the sustainable growth of the market in the past few years. These biomedical freezers are available in different specifications to suit the specific commercial needs. For instance, the plasma freezers are employed for storage of blood and plasma products at -30°C to -40°C and the ultra-low temperature freezers are utilized for enduring storage of DNA and RNA samples products at a range of -70°C to -80 °C. Growing need for personalized vaccines stemming from increasing demand to conduct cellular therapy will further continue to positively impact growth of the global biomedical refrigerator market.

Market Size & Forecast

Biomedical refrigerators and freezers market is anticipated to record a significant CAGR over the forecast period. The rapid rise in the number of blood banks in the developed and the developing countries is anticipated to help the global freezers and refrigerators market growth over the forecast period.

The global biomedical freezers & refrigerators market is anticipated to grow rapidly due to increasing advancements with rising technological & infrastructural gradations in healthcare sector. According to ISMP (Institutes for Safety Medication Practices), England, more than 20% of the healthcare practitioners have reported adverse patient effects due to deficiencies in storage and inventory management practices. This has resulted in an increased demand for efficient temperature dependent storage systems. This is expected to make the biomedical refrigerators and freezers market expand in the near future.

On the basis of regional platform, global biomedical refrigerators and freezers market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region. North-America holds a dominant position in terms of revenue in the global market due to the highly developed healthcare infrastructures, the presence of a large number of biomedical companies, and the vast life sciences research initiatives undertaken every year. High expenditure on hospital and healthcare infrastructure is a key factor for the region’s dominance as well.

However, Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the most lucrative region of all owing to the continuous rise in the geriatric population along with increase in the number of chronic diseases and subsequent blood transfusion procedures increasing the market in the region. Furthermore, the increasing economic development in countries such as China & India are expected to further aid in the growth of the biomedical freezers market.
