Expert Market Research Explores the Top 5 Companies in the Global Ice Maker Market

Key players include Hoshizaki Corporation, Scotsman Ice Systems, Manitowoc Company, Newair, and Cornelius, Inc., among others. The global ice maker market size was nearly USD 5.22 billion in 2023. The industry is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.80% over the forecast period of 2024-2032.

An ice maker, also known as an ice machine or ice generator, is a device that produces ice. Condenser, evaporator, throttle valve, and compressor are the essential components of an ice maker. The function of the compressor is to cold compress low-pressure vapour to high-pressure refrigerant vapour and transport it to the condenser. The high-pressure steam is then condensed in the condenser into a high-pressure liquid. After condensation, the high-pressure fluid is drained out through the throttle valve in low-pressure liquid. The liquid is then directed toward the evaporator. Heat exchanging occurs at the evaporator, thereby creating ice.

A sedentary lifestyle and high disposable income have resulted in the development of fast-food chains. These factors, coupled with the increased need to store perishable items, primarily food and food ingredients, are driving the ice maker market. The health-care industry has been propelled by the increase in life expectancy thereby boosting the growth of the global market. The need for organ and tissue transplantation is also responsible for the growth of the global ice maker market.
