When it comes to refrigeration, every facility has its own storage needs which differ from the actual purpose of the refrigerator. Pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers come through the class of biomedical refrigerators which comprises of a lot other application-based models. While selected refrigerators include a freezer compartment, the CDC strongly discourages the use of combination refrigerator freezers for any kind of vaccine storage.
The same applies to any sort of laboratory refrigeration needs. Features such as temperature control, wire shelves, door ajar audible alarm, temperature excursion alarm and accurate displaying thermometer are a few major characteristics displayed by regular-use pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers.
Pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers differ through their basic application where the refrigerator is meant to keep the pharmaceutical at a fixed temperature and not freeze the unit and with a universal projected temperature range of 2 to 8ºC, within that mark most units will experience minor temperature swings.
Freezers on the hand are used for freezing the provided pharmaceutical for a given time depending upon the product which is stored, standard temperature ranges from 10º to -20º. Additional features in modern-day pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers include self-closing doors to prevent the busy careless environment of the staff working, keyed locks are provided in most institutional refrigerators which offers a secure environment for certain stored items.
Market players with commercially available pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers have certain different technologies installed in their systems but the aim of all the systems is to provide faster, efficient and quality results.
Several technical advantages of the system such as reduced time, minimal use and standardized results support the market growth of these pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers. These systems also have easy handling user interfaces and provide more traceability in their approach.
Furthermore, several technical challenges associated with pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers are often observed because of the mishandling of refrigerators. Traditional pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers procedure also promotes the use of better systems. Portable refrigerator systems also provide a stress-effective solution compared to conventional ones.
Nowadays, researchers are also engaged in improving the management of laboratory pharmaceuticals quality and increasing their standards which further fuels the use of fully automated pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers. There are several limitations to the current practices of these pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers, one being followed only in pharmaceutical placing.
As well as, most pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers accept content for a provided space, as, 30% to 80% is the ideal space distribution in the refrigerator. Which restricts the usage capability of the refrigerator.
There is an increasing adoption of pharmaceuticals in laboratory procedures which represents a huge opportunity for pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers to grow their market. Several studies also prove the advantages of both freezers and refrigerators, by the scale of their usage pharmaceutical refrigerator is more openly and frequently used than a freezer.
Which is used for certain products that need complete freezing as in for vaccines. There exist only very few different concept-based models for pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers, representing an opportunity to develop and launch certain products in the market producing cost-effective and appropriate results.
Research organizations followed by academic institutes would be the most targeted segment for the market of pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers as they are mostly used for clinical and research purposes.
Geographically, North America accounts for the largest share of the global pharmaceuticals refrigerators and freezers market and is expected to dominate the market in the forecast period. Factors contributing to the growth of the global biomedical refrigeration and freezers market in North America are the presence of a large number of healthcare facilities and the rising demand for this equipment.
The U.S. spends nearly 17.9% of its GDP towards healthcare in 2016 and put priority to improve patient care. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region for the pharmaceutical refrigerators and freezers market. This growth is attributed to the rising number of affected patients observed, the increasing number of healthcare facilities, rising initiatives and the presence of regulatory policies.
Some of the players in the Pharmaceutical Refrigerators and Freezers market include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Helmer Scientific, B Medical System, Philipp Kirsch GmbH, Haier, Accucold, Aegis Scientific, BioMedical Solutions, Inc., Bionics Scientific Technologies (P) Ltd., Coldway and others.
