Key figures of the professional refrigeration market in France
Professional refrigeration covers the equipment that produces and preserves cold outside the home: display cabinets, refrigerated cabinets and counters, cold rooms, refrigeration units and chillers for shops, catering and industry. The market goes beyond compressors alone, but excludes domestic fridges and comfort air conditioning. In France, it combines heavy imports of refrigerated furniture with an industry that exports refrigeration units.
