Overview of the global commercial undercounter ice machines market

Research analysis on the global commercial undercounter ice machines market identifies that the elimination or easing of various bans on the consumption of alcohol will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Consequently, the demand for commercial undercounter ice machine will increase due to the rise in alcohol servings in bars, pubs, clubs, and various other commercial establishments. For instance, the ban on dancing after midnight in bars, clubs, and most other public venues in Japan was removed in 2015.

Similarly, the government in Ireland has removed the ban on the sales of alcohol on Good Friday, which is effective from 2018 onwards. This will boost the alcohol consumption, which in turn, will drive the demand for the commercial ice maker. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of close to 8% by 2021. The influx of new products with improved controls and features is one of the key trends that will gain traction in the global commercial undercounter ice machines market throughout the estimated period.
