The food market is constantly evolving, and refrigeration plays a crucial role in maintaining product quality and safety. In 2025, some trends stand out:
1. Sustainability and Use of Natural Refrigerants There is a growing demand for refrigeration solutions that minimize environmental impact. The use of natural refrigerants, such as CO₂ and propane, is gaining ground due to their low global warming potential. Companies that are pioneers in the development of compressors and condensing units for these refrigerants are leading this change.
2. Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) AI is being incorporated into refrigeration systems to optimize energy consumption and predict maintenance needs. Smart sensors monitor equipment conditions in real time, allowing automatic adjustments and increasing operational efficiency.
3. Green Logistics in the Cold Chain Green logistics aims to reduce the carbon footprint at all stages of the cold chain. This includes the use of electric vehicles for refrigerated transport and the implementation of sustainable practices in distribution centers, in line with environmental requirements and consumer expectations.
4. Custom Solutions (Built-to-Suit) Companies are developing custom refrigeration solutions to meet the specific needs of different segments of the food market. These customized solutions ensure greater efficiency and suitability to the particular needs of each client.
5. Extending the Shelf Life of Products New cooling and decontamination technologies are being researched to extend the shelf life of fresh products. For example, projects seek to extend the shelf life of refrigerated pork to up to 6-8 weeks, while maintaining its quality and safety.
These trends reflect the search for innovation, efficiency and sustainability in the food refrigeration sector, meeting the demands of a constantly changing market.
