Commercial Refrigeration Equipment: United States

ABOUT THIS REPORT

Scope and Method

This report forecasts US commercial refrigeration demand and shipments in US dollars
at the manufacturers level. Total demand is segmented by product in terms of:

reach-in and walk-in refrigerators and freezers

beverage refrigeration equipment
display cases
other commercial refrigeration equipment such as ice machines and
refrigerated vending machines
parts.

Excluded from this report are air conditioning systems and all refrigeration equipment
designed for residential use, as well as refrigeration equipment used in transportation
systems.
Total demand, the various segments, and shipments are sized at five-year intervals for
historical years 2006 and 2011 with a forecast to 2016. Forecasts emanate from the
identification and analysis of pertinent statistical relationships and other historical
trends/events as well as their expected progression/impact over the forecast period.
Changes in quantities between reported years of a given total or segment are typically
provided in terms of five-year compound annual growth rates (CAGRs). For the sake of
brevity, forecasts are generally stated in smoothed CAGR-based descriptions to the
forecast year, such as demand is projected to rise 3.2% annually through 2016. The
result of any particular year over that period, however, may exhibit volatility and depart
from a smoothed, long-term trend, as historical data typically illustrate.
Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided at five-year intervals with CAGRs for
the years corresponding to other reported figures. Other various topics, including
profiles of pertinent leading suppliers, are covered in this report. A full outline of report
items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
