Ice Maker Machine Market Segmental Analysis


The global ice maker market has been segmented based on type, end-user, distribution channel, and region.


Based on type the global ice maker market has been segmented into the modular ice maker, under-counter ice maker countertop ice makers, and ice dispensers. The modular ice maker segment accounted for a larger market share of 40.81% in 2021. In a modular ice maker, the motor or refrigeration unit is separated from the storage bin to generate more power, meaning modular options are the perfect choice for businesses with high ice demand. The modular ice maker also remains durable and easy to clean, ensuring the production of well-formed, and hygienic ice cubes. The expanding food and beverage industry and the growing number of fast-food chains around the world should boost demand for this segment.


Based on end use, the global ice maker market has been segmented into commercial and residential. The commercial segment accounted for the largest market share of 90.26% in 2021. Ice is used for various commercial purposes in different industries. A constant supply of large amounts of ice is required in industries such as food service and fisheries. Ice makers are used extensively in the food service industry, where ice is served with various beverages. They are also employed in fisheries to pack, store, and preserve fish. Ice is used in several other industries as a cooling agent, where it is filled in jacketed tanks to lower the temperature of chemical reactions, such as in dye-making and concrete manufacturing.


Based on the distribution channel, the global ice maker has been segmented into store-based and non-store-based. The store-based segment accounted for the largest market share of 91.81% in 2021. Store-based distribution channels are categorized into supermarkets & hypermarkets, and specialty stores to avoid intermediaries in the supply chain and sell products directly to consumers thereby reducing operating expenses. Supermarkets & hypermarkets also contribute significantly to the distribution of ice. Some of the key manufacturers such as Welbilt Inc., Direct Catering Products Ltd., and Figor Industrial among others also focus on store-based distribution which bypasses the retailer’s distribution center.
