Upright freezers segment dominated over 90% ultra-low temperature freezers market share in 2019. Ease of use and cost-effectiveness will fuel the customer preference for upright freezers. Technological advancements in upright freezers has made it easy to operate in nature, thereby enhancing its functionality. These models comprise versatile storage systems with removable or adjustable door storage bins, adjustable and sliding shelves along with pull out baskets.
 

Growing awareness about organ donation and high demand for donor organ

Organs segment in the ultra-low temperature freezers market is predicted to register growth of 3.7% during the forecast period. Increasing prevalence of chronic disorders, leading to organ failures have impelled the demand for organ donors. Donated organs require storage and preservation at specific low temperatures that will create demand for ultra-low temperature freezers in future.
 

Demand for organ transplantation due to accidents and growing number of trauma cases is subsequently rising. Long term preservation of organs requires substantially low temperature. Shortage of organ supply and increasing number of people in waiting list is propelling demand for better and advanced techniques for preservation of organs. Moreover, some government are funding to breakthrough in the field of cryopreservation of some organs, thereby advancing organ banking.
 

Rising adoption of environmentally friendly and technological advanced products will foster the ultra-low temperature freezers market growth

Automated technology segment value was over USD 400 million in 2019. Automated freezers are used in high throughput biobanks that considerably cut down the time required to retrieve and store samples and maintain high-quality samples. Enhanced touchscreen interface with capacitive touch allow easy access to set points, data, and security information.
 

Automated freezers use less power and with them in use, the greenhouse gas emissions are lower. The process of defrosting is easy and quickly completed. It releases vacuum automatically that enables repeated opening and closing without long waiting time. The automated ULT freezers eliminate freeze-thaw cycles, and limit entry of moisture into the system. The system continuously monitors the environment.
