The increase in the number of clinical trials is expected to boost the growth of the laboratory refrigerators and ovens market going forward. A clinical trial is a research study or investigation conducted to assess the safety, efficacy, and potential benefits of a medical intervention, such as a new drug, medical device, treatment, or therapeutic procedure. The expanding number and intricacy of clinical trials underscore the need for sophisticated and dependable storage solutions, with laboratory refrigerators and ovens playing a crucial role in preserving the quality, integrity, and accessibility of essential materials, thereby driving the demand for high-quality storage equipment in the laboratory refrigerators and ovens market. For instance, in December 2024, according to the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, a UK-based nonprofit organization, the number of industry-initiated clinical trials in the UK grew from 411 trials in 2022 to 426 trials in 2023, marking a 3.7% increase. Therefore, the increase in the number of clinical trials is driving the growth of the laboratory refrigerators and ovens market.

Major companies operating in the laboratory refrigerators and ovens market are developing products, such as general-purpose laboratory refrigerators, to meet larger customer bases, increase sales, and increase revenue. General-purpose laboratory refrigerators are specialized refrigeration units designed for storing a wide range of laboratory and medical supplies that require temperature regulation. For instance, in August 2023, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, launched a new series of laboratory refrigerators and freezers, named the TSV Series, which are manufactured in India. The TSV Series is engineered to meet the short- to medium-term storage needs of academic, research, and healthcare laboratories in India. It aims to ensure the stability of samples and chemicals, which is critical for accurate laboratory processes.

In May 2023, Trane Technologies, a US-based provider of climate control, HVAC, and temperature management solutions, acquired Helmer Scientific for approximately US$266.4 million. With this acquisition, Trane Technologies sought to strengthen its life sciences temperature control portfolio by integrating Helmer’s established expertise in medical-grade refrigerators, ultra-low-temperature freezers, and other cold storage solutions, enhancing its ability to serve clinical, laboratory, biopharma, and blood bank markets worldwide. Helmer Scientific is a US-headquartered manufacturer of precision temperature-controlled storage and processing equipment for hospitals, laboratories, blood banks, and pharmacies, including refrigerators, freezers, and ultra-low storage units for biological samples and vaccines.
