The global Controlled-Rate Freezer market size is predicted to grow from US$ 36.6 million in 2025 to US$ 52.9 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2025 to 2031.
A controlled-rate freezer is a specialized device used to freeze biological samples, such as cells, tissues, and embryos, at a carefully regulated, slow rate to minimize damage caused by ice crystal formation. This precise control over the freezing process is crucial for preserving the structural integrity and viability of sensitive biological materials. Controlled-rate freezers are commonly used in medical research, biobanking, and clinical applications like cryopreservation of stem cells, sperm, and ova for fertility treatments. By controlling the cooling rate, typically using programmable protocols, these freezers ensure optimal preservation conditions, increasing the chances of successful thawing and recovery of the biological samples later.
The global top three manufacturers of controlled-rate freezers include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cytiva, and Planer, with a total market share of more than 65%. The largest manufacturer is Thermo Fisher Scientific, with a market share of more than 30%. North America is the most important consumer market for controlled-rate freezers in the world, with a market share of about 55%. In terms of type, small capacity has a market share of over 50%. In the application field, the market share of the research field is about 45%.
The controlled-rate freezer market is seeing robust growth, driven primarily by the increasing demand for cryopreservation in biopharmaceutical research, healthcare, and reproductive medicine. Controlled-rate freezers are essential for preserving biological samples such as stem cells, tissues, and embryos, which are critical for applications in drug development, regenerative medicine, and fertility treatments. As advancements in cellular therapies and personalized medicine continue to grow, the need for precise cryopreservation solutions that ensure the viability of delicate biological materials is boosting demand for controlled-rate freezers.
One of the key trends in the market is the expansion of biobanking and regenerative medicine, where controlled-rate freezers play a pivotal role. Biobanks, which store biological samples for research and clinical use, are expanding globally due to the increasing need for large-scale sample storage in genomics and disease research. Similarly, the rise of stem cell therapies, gene therapies, and tissue engineering is fueling the demand for advanced cryopreservation technologies. Controlled-rate freezers, by ensuring the preservation of samples at ultra-low temperatures without compromising their viability, are vital in these growing fields, which directly impacts market growth.
Technological advancements in cryopreservation are also contributing to the marketās expansion. Innovations in software-controlled freezing protocols, temperature monitoring, and automation have improved the efficiency and reliability of controlled-rate freezers. These advancements are particularly important in sectors like fertility clinics and stem cell research, where the preservation of biological material requires precision. Furthermore, the growing trend towards automation and integration of cryopreservation systems into broader lab management platforms is enhancing operational efficiency and reducing the risk of human error, thereby driving the adoption of advanced controlled-rate freezers across research and healthcare institutions globally.
