Market Dynamics

Market Drivers

Expanding Biopharmaceutical and Biotechnology Sectors

  • There’s now a growing focus on developing drugs, mainly biologics and personalized medicine that amazingly expands the demand for ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers. Biologics such as proteins, cells, and tissues are much more complex in structure and must be preserved in very specific conditions throughout the entire process. These storage conditions require ultra-low temperature freezers that operate at temperatures from -40°C up to -86°C.
  • In this field of the medical individualization, treatments may be selected from the genetic profile of a given patient, and therefore might require the storing of specific biological samples, such as DNA, RNA, and cell therapies customized. These must be maintained at ultra-low temperatures not to degrade them.
  • Furthermore, with increased use of biologic drugs as vaccines and gene therapies, dependency on ULT freezers increases. Some of the vaccines are, for instance, mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines, that demand ultra-cold storage to maintain their stability while transporting and storing.
  • Increasing demands on precision medicine and biologic therapies heighten the need for ULT freezers of robust reliability and peak performance, a support system in drug development, to ensure safe and effective storage of critical materials throughout the research and treatment phases.

Growing Demand for Vaccine Storage

  • The COVID-19 pandemic pointed out particularly the urgent need for valid cold storage supplies especially vaccines such as mRNA-based COVID-19, which requires ultra-low temperatures to be stable and effective. In most of the freshly manufactured vaccines, including Pfizer-Biotech and Modern, must be stored at -70°C to maintain the fragile molecular composition of the vaccines. If this were not stored, the vaccines would lose their functionalities and therefore less likely to protect the effects of the virus.
  • This call for strict and precise control of temperature spurred the surge in demand for ULT freezers, which ensure preservation conditions. It witnessed tremendous investment in ULT freezer technology during the period when governments, healthcare providers, and pharmaceutical companies vied to distribute vaccines globally. It helped strengthen the infrastructure of support for vaccine delivery, as well as motivated long-term investments in cold-chain logistics, preparing for the next set of public health challenges.

Market Restraining Factors

Environmental Concerns

  • Traditional ULT freezers use refrigerants like hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs), whose consumption is effective for maintaining ultra-low temperatures, essential to store and maintain biological samples. However, HFCs are known to have a high GWP. This implies that, if considerably released to the atmosphere, they contribute much to climate change. With increasing light on environmental sustainability across the world, HFCs are also becoming increasingly stringent under environmental scrutiny. Increasing regulatory pressures to phase out harmful refrigerants are being seen all over the world. In this regard, Kigali Amendment to Montreal Protocol is a multi-lateral agreement aiming at cutting the consumption and production of HFCs over the next several decades by forcing manufacturers to switch towards more environmentally friendly alternatives. Though sufficient for the environment, these regulations are problematic for manufacturers when it comes to the making of ULT freezers.
  • The use of low-GWP refrigerants, such as hydrocarbons or other more natural alternatives, will require much more research and development effort because such new systems will be developed solely for the sake of refrigeration efficiency without losing any performance. Eco-friendly refrigerants may also affect the design of compressors and the insulation system, and therefore lead to increased production cost. This transition adds complexity and financial burden to manufacturers because it needs balancing between regulatory compliance with maintaining performance of the product and keeping cost competitive in the market.

Market Opportunities

Growth in Pharmaceutical and Vaccine Storage

  • Efforts made towards vaccine development and distribution globally post COVID-19 come to elucidate the pressing need for the advanced cold storage solutions. Most of the vaccines, specifically the mRNA-based treatment such as the one designed for COVID-19, require ultra-low temperatures: -70°C, among many others, thereby making another huge demand for freezers with ultra-low temperature during the COVID-19 pandemic because of the efforts being made by the healthcare systems, pharmaceutical companies, and governments to store and distribute vaccines.
  • With the huge scale-up of vaccine manufacturing, particularly for emerging infectious diseases, there is a tremendous demand for the required cold storage infrastructure, which ULT freezer manufacturers can fill in. This is even more critical with next-generation vaccines and biologics, most of which have similar temperature requirements that are entering the markets. Manufacturers can support the need for secure vaccine storage globally by providing reliable and efficient ULT freezers.

Integration of Smart Technologies

  • IOT-enabled ULT freezers with real-time monitoring and advance temperature control system could be an excellent opportunity for the manufacturers to enter the premium solutions in the market. The smart freezers allow the laboratories and the healthcare facility to continuously monitor the temperature conditions from a remote location to ensure biological samples are being stored under optimal conditions. When temperature drifts or system malfunctions occur, alerts are sent, and hence interventions could be made promptly, minimizing the chance of sample loss.
  • This comes along with integration with the Internet of Things, which brings data insight crucial to predictive maintenance and reduces potential probability of failure, thereby ensuring a longer lifespan for the freezer. Among features increasingly important for safety-focused labs and facilities, this is raising demand for smart ULT freezers, especially in research, bio-banking, and pharmaceutical environments, saves from the operational cost by minimizing manual monitoring and efficiency.

Market Challenges

High Operational Costs

  • The ULT freezers have been one of the most indispensable apparatus for preservation of sensitive biological materials, but at these extreme temperatures ranging between -40°C to as low as -86°C, they consume much power. This amounts to high costs of operation in the laboratories and healthcare facilities, which can form a budget item for organizations that run them in multiplicity.
  • Manufacturers face the giant task of producing ULT freezers that merge the need for performance with energy efficiency. Although storing the samples safely and properly is the first fundamental requirement, the energy used might be quite prohibitive. Hence, investment in new technologies and designs should strike the balance between the need for energy usage without compromising their performances. Moreover, users increasingly are being constrained to adopt greener practices, hence demanding more efficient energy solutions. Manufacturers, therefore have a very paramount stake in the challenge to meet market demands and also contribute to environmental sustainability.

Limited Infrastructure in Developing Regions

  • Emerging countries pose a good prospect for market growth of ULT freezers. Such markets, however, are prone to infrastructural barriers, which may restrict the uptake. Most of these markets lack the infrastructure needed to support the installation and maintenance of high-technology ULT freezers. Among them, lack of a stable power supply, which is necessary for the operation of such power-hungry equipment, presents a challenge.
  • Distant locations beyond those within urban or suburban areas create the challenges of frequent and unpredictable power outages and the unreliable supply of electricity, creating a regular threat to the uptime operation of the ULT freezers, and thereby to the integrity of biological materials stored. Also, in the absence of competent staff in charge of proper installation and follow-up maintenance of the freezers, the time without freezers as well as the loss of samples may be increased. Such problems can become insurmountable for the health care organizations and research institutes interested in providing efficient cold storage solutions in these regions. Addressing infrastructural issues, however, is very crucial towards unlocking the full potentials of freezers in ULT markets of the emerging economies.

Key Industry Developments

  • In February 2023, The PHCbibrand VIP ECO SMART ultra-low temperature freezer series was introduced by PHC Corporation of North America for usage in establishments such as hospitals, colleges, and drug stores. Four versions of the company’s new PHCbibrand VIP ECO SMART series of ultra-low temperature freezers, free of HFCs, allow researchers working on drug discovery and life science projects to efficiently and safely store specimens and samples for extended periods of time.
