WorldWide Blast Chillers Market, Industry / Sector Analysis Report, Regional Outlook & Competitive Market Share & Forecast, 2019 - 2025 (Includes Business Impact of COVID-19)

                                          
Global blast chillers market size is anticipated to witness significant growth from 2016 to 2023. Escalating usage of these chillers in various industry sectors in expected to drive the industry demand over the next few years.
 

Shock freezing enables food preservation for the middle to long term and also maintain its organoleptic characteristics. This in turn helps in preserving food liquids, taste, weight as well as consistency. Once the contents are frozen using the blast chiller, they can be stored in a more conventional freezer as long as it the frozen state is maintained. This is likely to drive the blast chillers market growth over the forecast period.
 

These systems are mainly used to maintain the characteristics of the stored pre-cooked or fresh food material by quickly lowering the temperature. The rate of freezing or chilling is likely to determine the quality of food while serving. These machines function in full compliance with Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) standards. They also ensure food safety by preventing it against chemical, physical as well as biological hazards and thus aid in maintaining healthiness and play a critical role in the food processing market.
 

Blast chilling helps preserve fragrance and maintain food quality. This process aids in preventing natural bacterial growth. As it assures chilling in 90 minutes, it helps in dealing with food degrading factors such as humidity, temperature and time by reducing the temperature from +70 °C (158 °F) to +3 °C (37 °F). In addition, it offers longer shelf life assures complete safety storage of products for five to six days.
 

Proliferating usage of these systems in numerous industries such as catering units, restaurants, bakeries, fish processing and meat are likely to offer significant growth avenues over the forecast period. Advent of eco friendly model is anticipated to fuel the blast chillers market size from 2016 to 2023.
 

Eco friendly models make use of hydrofluoroolefin refrigerants as they have ultra low global warming potential (GWP) as well as low ozone depletion potential (ODP). Furthermore, these devices also aid in power optimization by consuming less electricity.
 

Integration of touch screen controllers to these systems as well as color coding enables users in indicating the cycle status for ease of usability. In addition, smart and automatic defrost functions ensure optimal energy consumption and maximum performance owing to effective probe settings. Safety sensors stop the fan motor in case of any interruption during the freezing or chilling cycle.
 

Furthermore, features such as hard, soft chill along with shock freeze assists is ensuring all the food stuff is chilled as per the requirement and hence minimizes damage. Some of these systems are capable of automatically analyzing the product behavior by certain parameters such as weight, thickness, consistency and quantity and thus it calculates the most suitable temperature for the product.
 

Asia Pacific, especially China and India blast chillers market share is predicted to witness substantial growth owing to rapidly changing lifestyle. North America is likely to exhibit considerable growth over the forecast period.
 

Installation of larger fans, sophisticated controllers, and unique lid to the equipment enables operation as a fridge, freezer, and blast chiller. Implementation of these devices aids in saving a considerable amount of time and it is likely to facilitate operators in complying with food safety regulations. The aforementioned features are anticipated to boost the blast chillers market demand.
 

Key industry participants contributing to blast chillers market share include Williams, Victory refrigeration, Irinox, Traulsen, Advanced Equipment, Alto Shaam, Master Bilt, Friginox, Adande, and Able.
