Overview of the global mortuary refrigerator market

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global mortuary refrigerator market to grow steadily at a CAGR of above 4% by 2021. One of the primary drivers for this market is the emergence of technologically advanced product designs. Recent developments in the field of nanotechnology have unlocked new possibilities and innovation. The ability to change the properties of materials by manipulating their molecular structure at a nanoscale level makes it possible for certain materials to exhibit desired characteristics. of the advancements in mortuary equipment include mortuary refrigerators and freezers with the ability to sense the volume of the bodies inside and the relative temperature outside to maintain the cooling and preserve the body. This is achieved by the help of various sensors working in tandem with each other to relay data and change the cooling environment accordingly. Also, the mono-structure-designed refrigerators are ensuring minimum space at the floor, maximum space for storage, and the refrigerators are not bulky. The use of stainless steel eases the cleaning process. This, in turn, is expected to propel growth in the global mortuary refrigerator market during the forecast period.

One of the latest trends gaining traction in this market is the rise in the number of body donations. Body donation is the donation of a whole body after death for the purpose of medical education and research. Medical schools use whole preserved bodies to teach anatomy to medical students. the donation program often provides a stipend and also covers the cost of burial or cremation procedures of the cadaver. The body will be returned to the family for interment, once the purpose of the cadaver is served. This has resulted in an increase in the number of body donations, which in turn in expected to augment growth in the global mortuary refrigerator market in the coming years.
