Emphasis on Type (Solar-Battery-Based, Solar-Direct Drive); Capacity (<250 liters, 250-500 liters, >500 liters); End-User (Medical, Household, Infrastructure, Commercial, Others); and Region and Country
Solar Freezer Market was valued at US$ 8 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% over the forecast period (2021-2027). Solar Freezers are those freezers that harness solar energy and may include PV or solar thermal energy. These solar-powered freezers are usually used in off-grid locations where utility AC power is not available and are used in various industries including medical, commercial, infrastructure, and others.
In 2020, the consumption of all other fuels declined while the only source which increased the demand for energy sources was renewables 2020. As the global economy recovers from the crisis, The renewable energy source witnessed an uptake, therefore, expand more quickly. As per International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2020, the annual renewable capacity additions increased witnessed the highest year-on-year increase since 1999 and increased by 45% or 280 GW. Furthermore, exceptionally high-capacity additions become the “new normal” in 2021 and 2022, with renewables accounting for 90% of new power capacity expansion globally. Owing to this wide adoption of renewables across the world due to the deteriorating environment the solar freezer market is expected to grow in the forthcoming years.
Another significant reason responsible for the growth of the solar freezer market is the rising demand for energy and the growing adoption of solar-powered appliances owing to numerous benefits offered by them. Some of the benefits of using solar freezers include zero running cost, longer hold over time, scalable, lower maintenance with the higher build quality. Furthermore, the rapid increase in solar power installations around the world is also propelling the solar freezer market globally. For instance, as per IEA, solar is setting the new track for new global deployments each year after 2022, with an average of around 125 GW of new capacity expanded globally between 2021 and 2025.

Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst Type, Solar-Battery Based segment holds the major share”
Based on type, the global solar freezer market is fragmented into solar-battery-based and solar-direct drive. The solar-battery-based freezer segment dominated the market and grabbed XX% market share in 2020. However, the solar-direct drive freezer accounted for a market valuation of US$ XX billion in 2020 and is expected to grow with a considerable CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. Solar direct drive freezers are relatively the new technology of solar-powered freezers bypassing the use of a battery and charge controller. These are connected to PV panels for power and store solar energy in the form of frozen liquids (e.g., ice or phase-change material) to provide continuous cooling for a limited number of cloudy days and at night. The growth of these freezers market is because of its growing use in vaccine storage as these are prequalified by WHO.
“Amongst Capacity, 250-500 liters segment holds the major share”
Based on capacity, the global solar freezer market is segmented into less than 250 liters, 250-500 liters, and more than 500 liters. The 250-500 liters segment accounted for a market valuation of US$ XX billion in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ XX billion by the year 2027 growing with a CAGR of XX% over the projected timeframe. The growth of this segment is attributed to the growing use of medium-capacity freezers in a wide array of applications in medical and household setups. Many people use this medium-sized freezer as they do not consume a very high amount of power and offer excellent total cost of ownership and best in class water pack freezing performance.
“Amongst End-Use, Infrastructure segment holds the major share”
Based on End-Use, the global Solar Freezer market is segmented into medical, household, infrastructure, commercial, and others. The infrastructure segment held the largest market revenue share in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during 2021-2027. however, the medical segment is also expected to grow with the lucrative CAGR of XX% during the analyzed period as solar freezers are being widely adopted in various blood banks for the storage of blood samples. Further, these freezers also provide a reliable cold chain for important vaccines even in remote areas as the integrity of vaccines or blood packs are well safeguard in these freezers due to their high-temperature stability.
