The solar freezer market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11 billion in 2024 to $11.96 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rapid increase in the demand for vaccines due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the increase in demand for refrigerators, demand for various medical products and blood, government initiatives aiming to use renewable energy, use of solar freezers and development support programs.

The solar freezer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.52 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing shift towards renewable energy sources, the need for clean energy technologies, demand for solar-powered appliances like refrigerators, government actions and incentives encouraging renewable energy, the growing global emphasis on lowering carbon footprints, demand for solar battery-powered freezers. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in solar panel efficiency, new battery technology, design innovations, technological advancements, and cost reductions in solar energy.

The increasing shift towards renewable energy sources is expected to boost the growth of the solar freezer market. Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass, are naturally replenishing and do not deplete over time. The rising demand for these sources is driven by their ability to provide sustainable, clean energy that reduces carbon emissions, combats climate change, and lessens dependence on finite fossil fuels. The use of solar energy, in particular, supports the growth of solar freezers by offering an eco-friendly, energy-efficient option that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and operational costs, especially in off-grid or underserved regions. For example, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported in 2022 that renewable energy supply from sources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and ocean increased by about 8% from 2021. This trend is propelling the growth of the solar freezer market.

Leading companies in the solar freezer market are focusing on developing solar-powered off-grid refrigerators, which provide dependable refrigeration solutions independent of the national power grid. These appliances use solar energy to keep perishables cool, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and cutting carbon emissions. They are especially valuable in remote areas with unreliable or no access to traditional power sources. For instance, in March 2024, Defy Appliances, a South Africa-based manufacturer, introduced a new line of solar-powered off-grid refrigerators and freezers. These units, equipped with both battery and solar capabilities, can switch seamlessly between solar power during the day and battery power at night, ensuring continuous operation crucial for food preservation and waste reduction.

A solar freezer is a refrigeration appliance that operates using solar energy, typically harnessed through photovoltaic (PV) panels that convert sunlight into electricity. These freezers are designed for off-grid or remote locations where traditional power sources are limited or unavailable. Their energy efficiency and storage capabilities make them suitable for eco-friendly applications and disaster preparedness.

The main types of solar freezers are solar-battery based and solar-direct drive. Solar-battery based freezers use solar energy combined with battery storage systems to power the unit. Capacities for these freezers are categorized as less than 250 liters, 250 to 500 liters, and more than 500 liters. They are used in various applications, including medical, household, infrastructure, commercial, and other areas.
