Due to increased demand for fast foods, Various food chains are expanding their presence in Germany. In June 2021, Papa John’s International, Inc, an American pizza restaurant chain, expanded its presence in Germany. Papa John’s International, Inc, in collaboration with its franchise partner PJ Western Group, plans to expand its footprint in Germany, opening 250 restaurants over the next seven years. Such fast-food chain restaurant opening propels the adoption of the commercial refrigeration market.
The increasing population in the US is also raising the need for different food products and other groceries. As supermarkets and hypermarkets provide all these items under one roof, their demand among the population is increasing. In addition, as people have a hectic work life, supermarkets and hypermarkets help them purchase all the required items in one place, thus, saving them time. Because of all these benefits, the country’s demand for supermarkets and hypermarkets is increasing. Hence, various supermarket giants in the country, such as Kroger Co., Costco, and Walmart, are working on the construction of their new stores. For instance, in January 2023, Walmart-owned Sam’s Club announced that it would be opening more than 30 new stores in the US in the next five years. Out of this, the next store is expected to open in Florida in 2024. The company is working on the expansion after seeing sharp growth in sales and membership during the COVID-19 pandemic. Similarly, in March 2023, Kroger Co. announced that it would be opening three new Kroger supermarkets in North Texas in 2024. These stores will be located in Fort Worth, Plano, and Melissa, Texas. Also, in December 2022, Costco announced its plan to open 24 new stores both in the US and internationally by the end of 2023. Out of these 24 stores, the company will be opening 15 stores in the US. This growing number of supermarkets and hypermarkets will raise the need for refrigeration systems to store different food products such as meat, seafood, drinks, vegetables, and fruits. Thus, the rising number of supermarkets and hypermarkets is expected to create a lucrative opportunity for the growth of the US commercial refrigeration market.
