North America Food Service Equipment Market Growth & Trends:
The North America food service equipment market size is anticipated to reach USD 11,412.1 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.1% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth of the food service industry and surge in experiential dining across North America, characterized by innovative food presentations and flavors, is significantly driving the market growth for food service equipment.
In addition, the growth of full-service restaurants in North America is significantly boosting the market for food service equipment. As these establishments aim to provide top-notch dining experiences, there is a rising demand for high-quality, efficient kitchen equipment. From advanced ovens to innovative refrigeration solutions, restaurants are investing in state-of-the-art tools to enhance food preparation and storage. This trend toward high-quality food service delivery in the culinary industry is propelling the demand and innovation within the food service equipment sector, leading to market expansion.
Furthermore, the high growth of cloud kitchens is significantly boosting the demand for food service equipment. This surge can be attributed to several factors. First, the rising consumer preference for online food delivery services, fueled by the convenience they offer, has led to an increase in cloud kitchen operations.
Cloud kitchens, focusing solely on food preparation for delivery with no dine-in facilities, rely heavily on efficient, high-quality kitchen equipment to manage large volumes of orders. In addition, developing and introducing advanced equipment for the cloud kitchen setup optimizes the food preparation processes, reduces waste, and ensures consistent food quality.
Compliance with regulations is a significant challenge for the market due to the complex and ever-evolving nature of local, national, and international standards. Manufacturers must navigate numerous health, safety, and environmental regulations that vary by region and often require specialized knowledge and adaptations. This complexity increases production costs as companies need to invest in research, development, and testing to ensure their equipment meets all applicable standards. Major regulatory standards include the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) in the U.S. and OSHA, among others.
Market players in North America are adopting several strategies, such as acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, new service launches, and regional expansion, to enhance market penetration and cater to changing local demands from various end-use applications, including full-service restaurants and quick-service restaurants.
For instance, in December 2023, Haier Smart Home, a part of the Haier Group, announced its agreement with Carrier to acquire Carrier's Commercial Refrigeration Business. Haier Smart Home acquired 100% of the equity interest in Carrier, which owns Carrier Commercial Refrigeration. The total consideration for the transaction is around USD 640.0 million. Carrier Commercial Refrigeration is a company that manufactures commercial refrigeration equipment globally. It has more than 4,000 employees, of which 2,000 are service technicians. This acquisition will aid the company in expanding its presence in the cold storage and food retail sectors.
