Commercial Refrigeration
Europe’s NR industry expects the market share of
commercial refrigeration equipment using CO 2
, NH 3
or HCs to increase substantially over the coming years.
While today still 43% of the 129 respondents working in
the commercial refrigeration business estimate the total
market share of NR solutions to be only in the range of
0-5%, by 2020 this picture is inverted, with 30% stating
that their share would increase to “more than 50%”. As
a result, only 3% think NR systems’ market share will
remain in the “0-5%” order.
Industrial Refrigeration
An even more prosperous outlook is presented for the
industrial refrigeration sector. 40% of 128 respondents
working in this field believe that the NR market share
will rise to “more than 50%” by 2020. This is up from 12%
estimating the market share to be in this range already
today. By 2015, a total of 43% estimate the market share
of NR systems already to be on track for “20-50%” or
“above 50%”.
