UAE Industrial Sector & The Rising Demand for Refrigerants

 The countries in the Middle East region lag behind in agricultural operations, resulting in a greater reliance on imported food and beverage products. This creates demand for industrial refrigerants in the Middle East region across all countries to preserve perishable edible items.

Due to lower oil prices in the UAE, the market for these systems has been shrinking in recent years. However, when crude oil prices rebound, revenues in the UAE industrial refrigeration systems market are expected to rise.

The UAE Industrial Refrigeration Market Is Expected to Develop at The Fastest Rate

One of the most important manufacturing industries in the UAE is the food and beverage industry. The country's domestic food and beverage consumer market continues to rise, thanks to rising purchasing power and an influx of expats.

Furthermore, the hot climatic conditions in the UAE, as well as the year-round influx of tourists in cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, had a good impact on the food and beverage business, which boosted the demand for industrial refrigerant gas systems in the country.

Market Drivers for Commercial Refrigeration Equipment

• Food quality and safety rules are strictly enforced in retail and foodservice industries, which has a significant impact on market growth.

• Sales and adoption possibilities are being bolstered by advancements in environmentally friendly components and refrigerant compounds.

Leading Constraints in the Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Market

• The high cost of installing new refrigeration equipment is a major issue delaying sales.

• Commercial refrigeration equipment has a long lifecycle and low replacement rates, which limits revenue sources.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries 

The market is being driven by the growing use of refrigeration systems in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. In the UAE, the chemical and pharmaceutical industries are the second most common users of industrial refrigeration equipment.

Refrigeration is required in the chemical, petrochemical, and oil refining industries for air dehumidification, gas condensation, and compound preservation. For example, UAE, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait are basically wealthy in crude oil and gas, and they are one of the world's leading exporters of petrochemicals.

Furthermore, enhanced refrigeration is required in the chemical sector to maintain the temperature restrictions of certain raw materials, semi-finished, and completed products.

As a result of the increasing use of refrigeration in these industries, the UAE industrial refrigeration systems market is likely to be driven by demand for refrigeration in the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industries.
