The food processing and preservation industry represents another major demand area. Flake ice is used for maintaining low temperatures during food handling and processing, particularly in fisheries, aquatic food processing, dairies, confectionery, and other temperature-sensitive operations. Hotels and hospitality businesses also require ice-making equipment for food and beverage storage.
The market is further supported by applications in concrete cooling, mining temperature reduction, chemical processing, skiing and sports, and preservation and cooling activities. Increasing surgical procedures and demand for refrigeration in clinical and diagnostic laboratories are identified as important growth factors.
However, the prevalence of hospital-acquired infections is identified by MMR as a factor that can restrain market growth. Equipment manufacturers also need to address reliability, hygiene, operating efficiency, and application-specific performance requirements.
