In medical & food research, working with microorganisms plays a vital role. Moreover, efficiently producing and multiplying microorganisms requires a stable incubation phase. The advent of technology has established a drastic shift toward the usage of advanced technology-based equipment focusing on energy-efficient consumption compared to traditional cooling incubators. As cooling incubators reduce energy consumption and minimize uneven temperature distribution, these are highly adopted at research laboratories, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology centers. Moreover, several top players, including Thermo Fischer Scientific and BINDER, launched innovative refrigerated incubators in the market. For instance, BINDER's refrigerated incubator product uses a compression-refrigeration unit, ensuring a constant temperature. These refrigerated incubators work with a special conventional technology ensuring a stable climate inside the incubator chamber. Additionally, Thermo Fischer Scientific's "Heratherm" refrigerated incubator operates on a specific technology known as Peltier technology, that saves energy. By introducing such advanced technologies and efficient features, the Heratherm refrigerated incubators utilize less than 84% energy compared to traditional compressor-based models. With the growth of the field of biology through the involvement of pharmaceutical, zoology, microbiology, genetics, and ecology, the requirement for advanced technology-based refrigerated incubators has increased. Therefore, the rise in research and development activities by top market players for introducing cost-effective and sophisticated refrigerated incubators have resulted in a high acceptance and adoption of refrigerated incubators. Such aforementioned factors highly support the adoption of technology-based refrigerated incubators, which drives the refrigerated incubators market growth in Europe.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe refrigerated incubators market in the coming years. The market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
