<h3>Overview of the refrigerated prep tables market</h3>
Research analysis on the global refrigerated prep tables market identifies that the need for quick and easy access to the refrigerated items will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 5% by 2021. In addition to the quantity of food sold, the growth of the pizzerias and quick service restaurants (QSRs) serving sandwiches, burgers, salads, and pasta is also highly dependent on the quality of food served and customer satisfaction. Most of the commercial foodservice establishments have less kitchen space and have the need to ensure faster turnaround of orders to increase the customer experience and efficiency during peak timings. Operational efficiency plays a major role in defining the food quality along with the preparation time and customer service. This can be best attained by reducing the movement of chefs and easing the availability of refrigerated ingredients. This need for quick and easy access to refrigerated items will drive the need for refrigerated prep tables, fueling market growth.
The increasing preference for refrigerated prep tables with PET coating is one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the market during the next few years. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a clear, lightweight, and extensively used material. Most of the beverage bottles such as carbonated soft drinks and water bottles are made from PET. FDA and numerous other health agencies have approved PET due to its suitability with food. Owing to its benefits such as easy to clean, high resistance to spots and solvents, and the ability to withstand high temperatures in microwaves and low temperatures in refrigerators, the demand for PET coating in refrigerated prep tables will increase in the coming years.
