Lab refrigerators product segment accounted for more than USD 120 million in 2015 and is estimated to exceed USD 180 million by 2026. The biomedical refrigerators are used for storage of samples, vaccines, specimen, chemicals and various biological supplies in laboratories. Moreover, the government and Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are working towards development of vaccines for treatment of various diseases.
 

Increasing demand for vaccine production will increase the usage of biomedical refrigerators and freezers in research laboratories, thereby spurring the market size.
 

Usage of biomedical refrigerators and freezers for organ/tissue preservation to increase its demand in hospitals settings

Based on end-use, the U.S. biomedical refrigerators and freezers market share is divided into blood banks, pharmacies, hospitals, research labs, diagnostic centres and others. The hospital segment reported over 20% revenue share in 2019 and is projected to show robust CAGR during the forthcoming years.
 

The biomedical refrigerators are used for preservation of medicines, organs, vaccines, injections and others. According to American Academy of Pediatrics, the appropriate temperature for vaccine storage is +/- 2°C of 5°C that preserve its integrity. Thus, usage of biomedical refrigerators and freezers for storage of biological specimens including tissues/organs will increase its usage in hospital settings. Surge in number of surgical emergencies and trauma cases will thus, accelerate the market expansion.
