The advances in technology and changing consumer preferences have transformed the demand for the frozen and packaged foods. Consumers prefer to use products that save time.The global urbanization rate has risen with economic development and liberalization of economies. With increasing urbanization rate and rising demand for retail outlets coupled with the low availability of retail space, appliances need to be more efficient in terms of size and performance.The increasing participation of women in the labor force over the years has led to a surge in the sales of convenience foods like frozen and packaged food meals.Therefore, Technavio expects the demand for the refrigerated display cases (RDC) to be driven primarily by the booming frozen food market.Vendors of RDCs are developing different strategies to maintain their position in the market. For instance, they are investing significantly in R&D and launching innovative product variants. Vendors like Carrier and Hussmann have introduced RDCs with light-emitting diode (LED) lights to save energy.Based on geography, the RDC market in Asia-Pacific (APAC) will notice an impressive CAGR during 2015-2020. Also, China, Australia, India, Germany, the UK, France, and the Netherlands are the key leading countries in the global RDC market. Vendors also have notable business opportunities in emerging economies such as Southeast Asian countries, Brazil, and Mexico.
