Japan Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Market to Grow with a CAGR of 7.8% through 2030

Growing food retail demand, energy-efficient innovations, and cold chain expansion drive Japan’s commercial refrigeration market.


According to TechSci Research report, “Japan Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, Japan Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Market was valued at USD 2.41 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 3.79 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period.The Japan commercial refrigeration equipment market is experiencing steady growth, fueled by rising demand from convenience stores, supermarkets, and the foodservice sector, alongside stringent energy efficiency regulations. The government’s push for sustainable refrigeration solutions, including natural refrigerants and energy-efficient systems, is driving innovation among manufacturers. However, challenges such as high initial costs of advanced refrigeration technologies and the need for frequent maintenance in high-usage environments could hinder market expansion. Additionally, Japan’s aging workforce poses operational challenges for equipment servicing and installation. Despite these hurdles, the market benefits from strong cold chain logistics development, driven by the booming e-grocery sector and increasing consumption of frozen and ready-to-eat foods. The shift toward smart refrigeration with IoT integration further enhances market prospects by improving operational efficiency and reducing food waste.

The Japan commercial refrigeration equipment market is segmented into product, capacity, system type & region.

By capacity, The 51–100 cu. ft. segment holds the largest share as it offers an optimal balance between storage capacity and space efficiency, making it suitable for convenience stores, small supermarkets, and foodservice outlets. The more than 100 cu. ft. segment is the fastest growing, driven by increasing demand from hypermarkets, warehouse stores, and pharmaceutical cold chain logistics, where bulk storage is essential. The expansion of frozen food retail and online grocery delivery services further supports this growth.

Based on region, The Chubu region, centered around Nagoya, is emerging as one of the fastest-growing markets for commercial refrigeration equipment in Japan. As a key industrial and logistics hub, Chubu benefits from strong manufacturing, automotive, and food processing sectors, driving demand for cold storage and refrigerated transport. The expansion of retail chains, hypermarkets, and automated convenience stores further boosts refrigeration sales. Additionally, Chubu’s strategic location between Tokyo and Osaka enhances its role in cold chain logistics, particularly for frozen and processed foods. The region’s rapid urbanization and investments in smart refrigeration technologies contribute to its accelerated growth, making it a high-potential market. The Chugoku region, including Hiroshima and Okayama, experiences steady but slower growth compared to major commercial hubs. Demand is primarily driven by the hospitality sector, supermarkets, and regional food producers. Hiroshima’s thriving tourism industry supports demand for beverage refrigeration and display cases in restaurants and hotels. Meanwhile, Okayama’s agricultural sector creates opportunities for cold storage solutions. While Chugoku is not a market leader, gradual retail modernization and increasing frozen food consumption contribute to consistent refrigeration equipment sales.

In recent years, the rapid expansion of online grocery delivery services in Japan has accelerated the need for robust cold chain logistics, including last-mile refrigeration solutions. With consumers increasingly purchasing perishable goods online, retailers and logistics providers are investing in refrigerated vans, portable cold storage units, and temperature-controlled packaging to ensure product freshness during transit. Innovations such as autonomous delivery vehicles with built-in refrigeration and smart lockers with cooling capabilities are also emerging. This trend is further supported by Japan’s aging population, which relies heavily on home delivery services for convenience. As e-commerce penetration deepens, the demand for advanced last-mile cold chain infrastructure will drive innovation in the commercial refrigeration market“ said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director of TechSci Research, a research-based management consulting firm.
