The Europe Industrial Refrigeration Market was valued at USD 3.8 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% to reach USD 7 billion by 2035.
Demand across the region continues to rise as cold chain networks expand and consumption of temperature-sensitive foods and pharmaceuticals accelerates. The surge in frozen and processed products, paired with the rapid growth of online grocery fulfillment, is creating a stronger need for reliable, energy-efficient refrigeration throughout transportation and storage. Modernization efforts across Europe are also giving the industry a significant boost, with large-scale upgrades underway in logistics hubs, chemical facilities, and food processing sites across countries including Germany, Italy, and France. Digital transformation plays a major role in shaping system performance, as facilities integrate connected monitoring technologies, predictive maintenance tools, and automated controls that optimize operational efficiency. Additionally, stringent European environmental policies continue to push industries toward sustainable, low-GWP solutions, reinforcing the shift to environmentally responsible refrigeration practices.
The ammonia segment reached USD 1.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2026 to 2035. Its minimal environmental footprint and strong energy-efficiency profile make it a leading refrigerant choice in Europe’s regulated landscape, especially for large industrial sites that prioritize long-term operational savings.
The food & beverage segment held 47.7% share in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% through 2035. Europe’s mature food manufacturing ecosystem relies heavily on dependable, high-performance refrigeration to meet safety regulations and support growing demand for packaged foods, frozen meals, and export-oriented perishables. Investments in cold storage expansion and advanced, digitally controlled refrigeration systems continue to rise as sustainability and cost efficiency become central industry priorities.
