Food Service Equipment Market Rising With Evergrowing Tourism Industry

High Capital Requirement Deters Small Players from Installing Advanced Food Service Equipment

The prohibitively high capital investment required to install top-notch food service equipment has restrained the growth of the global market. While large international players can afford to install advanced commercial refrigeration services, new players have to make do with older technology. This is a key restraint on the global food service equipment market, but is likely to be ameliorated over the forecast period.

Walk Ins to Remain Dominant Product Type

By product type, walk ins held the largest share in the revenue of the global food service equipment market in 2014. Walk ins are preferred by vendors due to the higher convenience they provide to customers and accounted for close to one million commercial refrigeration units in 2013. Even though walk ins are expected to remain the leading segment of the global commercial refrigeration equipment market till 2020, the beverage dispensers segment is likely to exhibit the highest growth rate of all product segments. Other major product types in the global commercial refrigeration market include ice machines, glass door merchandisers, refrigerated vending machines, commercial fridges/freezers. Ice cream cabinets, and blast freezers.
