For years we have talked about energy efficiency, sustainability and better conservation, but in 2026 the context is changing: energy is more expensive, European regulations on energy efficiency are more stringent than ever. <strong>Ecodesign, energy labelling and F-Gas<\/strong> hardens, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.finance.yahoo.com\/news\/horeca-market-strategic-business-analysis-150400491.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">hospitality business models are evolving towards dark kitchens, food halls, gourmet experience shops and hybrid retail concepts.<\/a>.<br>In this article we analyse which trends in the <strong>industrial refrigeration<\/strong> What is really changing from 2026 onwards and what restaurants, gourmet shops, central kitchens, etc. should take into account when investing in professional refrigeration and how this also affects the role of distributors and manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a manufacturer with more than four decades of focus on the <strong>professional refrigeration for catering and food<\/strong>, Coreco is experiencing this transformation very closely: it works on a daily basis with HORECA distributors, who know their customers with central kitchens and gourmet businesses that need blast chillers, <a href=\"https:\/\/gourmetcoreco.com\/en\/high-performance-24-7\/\">display cabinets<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gourmetcoreco.com\/en\/wine-cooling\/\">wine cellars<\/a> y <a href=\"https:\/\/gourmetcoreco.com\/en\/meat-maturation\/\">meat maturation cabinets<\/a> able to respond to this new context. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the line <strong>Coreco Gourmet<\/strong>, The focus is no longer just on industrial robustness and reliability, but on how each refrigeration solution helps to reinforce the customer's gastronomic proposition, optimise their internal organisation and ensure that the investment in refrigeration makes sense in the medium and long term in an increasingly demanding and diverse HORECA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-muchas-tendencias-no-nacen-en-2026-pero-ahora-se-consolidan\">Many \u201ctrends\u201d were not born in 2026... but are now becoming established<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been in the professional refrigeration sector for a long time, it is normal to have a feeling of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. Messages repeat themselves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cMore energy efficiency\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cMore sustainability\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cBetter preservation and less wastage\u201d.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cEquipment better integrated into the design of the premises\u201d.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And it is true: none of that was born in 2026. The <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.europa.eu\/energy-climate-change-environment\/standards-tools-and-labels\/products-labelling-rules-and-requirements\/ecodesign-sustainable-products-regulation_en\">Ecodesign for sustainable product regulation <\/a>and European energy labelling standards have for years been pushing the market in the direction of <a href=\"https:\/\/energy-efficient-products.ec.europa.eu\/product-list\/commercial-refrigerators_en?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">more efficient and climate-friendly equipment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference now is not so much in the headline of the trend as it is in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The intensity of the economic impact<\/strong> (high electricity bills).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulatory pressure<\/strong> on efficiency and fluorinated gases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consumer maturity<\/strong>, much more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simon-kucher.com\/en\/insights\/sustainability-restaurants-and-rise-eco-conscious-consumer?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">eco-conscious and willing to pay <\/a>more for sustainable options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The emergence of new HORECA formats<\/strong> that did not exist a decade ago and require a different cold map.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words: the broad outlines of the discourse of the <strong>professional HORECA refrigeration<\/strong> are the same... but today they are <strong>less optional and much more strategic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-tendencias-de-fondo-del-frio-profesional-que-ya-venian-de-antes\">2. Background trends in the professional cold that were already in the background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before getting into the new, it is worth recognising which trends have been established for years and will continue to be valid in 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-1-eficiencia-energetica-como-estandar-minimo\"> 2.1. Energy efficiency as a minimum standard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From 2021, the European <strong>Ecodesign (EU 2019\/2024)<\/strong> and energy labelling rules for commercial refrigeration equipment have set minimum efficiency requirements and driven the most wasteful solutions out of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has led to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>improve insulation,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the design of evaporators and condensers is optimised,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>more efficient compressors and controls are introduced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What years ago was a high-end technical argument, today is <strong>mandatory starting point<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-2-sostenibilidad-y-cambio-de-refrigerantes\"> 2.2. Sustainability and refrigerant changeover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In parallel, the revision of the <strong>F-Gas Regulation<\/strong> and EU climate targets have prompted the substitution of many HFCs by <strong>natural refrigerants<\/strong> or lower GWP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we already told in <a href=\"https:\/\/gourmetcoreco.com\/en\/the-industrial-refrigeration-industry-facing-the-change-in-the-f-gas-2024-regulation-by-2025\/\">our article on the industrial refrigeration industry in the face of change<\/a>, The main objective of the F-Gas regulation is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by promoting the use of low-GWP refrigerants. R290 and R600a hydrocarbons are viable alternatives that present an environmental advantage by having a considerably lower GWP compared to traditional refrigerants such as HFCs. <strong>(values well above 1400)<\/strong>. This is in line with the EU's commitment to reduce its carbon footprint and promote sustainability in industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has forced manufacturers and designers to rethink:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>refrigeration circuit designs,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>refrigerant charges,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>safety and handling,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>technical training.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not new in 2026, but it is entering a phase in which it is <strong>it will be rare to see teams that do not follow this logic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-3-mejor-conservacion-menos-merma-mas-margen\">2.3. Better preservation = less shrinkage = higher margin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea that \u201cinvesting in a good cooling system reduces shrinkage\u201d is not new either, but it is now better quantified: every kilo of product that does not spoil is euros that are not lost. In a context of rising costs of raw materials and energy, the chambers, display cabinets and blast chillers that allow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>better stabilise the temperature,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>adjust humidity,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>reduce oscillations,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>have a direct impact on the <strong>income statement<\/strong> of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-4-diseno-del-equipo-como-parte-del-interiorismo\"> 2.4. Equipment design as part of interior design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the gourmet channel, hotels, gastronomic restaurants and wine bars, the aesthetic integration of professional refrigeration has been gaining importance for years: materials, lines, lighting, fog-free glass, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference with previous stages is that now this is no longer limited to a few \u201cdesigner\u201d venues: it reaches many proposals of <strong>food halls, concept stores and gourmet experience shops<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn more about these regulatory and refrigerant changes, you can also consult our resources on F-Gas and energy efficiency on the Coreco Gourmet blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-lo-que-si-cambia-de-verdad-a-partir-de-2026\"> 3. What really changes from 2026 onwards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From here we get to the interesting part: what is going to take more real weight and how it intersects with the new HORECA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-1-sostenibilidad-como-criterio-de-eleccion-no-como-eslogan\">3.1. Sustainability as a criterion of choice, not as a slogan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Several studies show that an increasing proportion of customers are willing to pay more for restaurants and propositions perceived as sustainable, with premiums ranging from 10 % to 20 % of the price, especially among younger generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means that, for many businesses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>reduce food waste,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>consume less energy,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>show transparency in processes,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>is no longer just a moral or normative obligation: it is <strong>a competitive advantage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the <strong>professional refrigeration<\/strong> is fully part of that equation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>efficient equipment = less consumption,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>better preservation = less discarded goods,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>durable and repairable solutions = less life cycle footprint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-2-digitalizacion-del-back-of-house-y-cocina-conectada\">3.2. Digitisation of the back of house and connected kitchen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Digitalisation is no longer limited to reservations or POS. Increasingly, there is talk of <strong>connected kitchens<\/strong>: equipment that communicates data on usage, faults, consumption and temperatures, and which is integrated into management platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of professional refrigeration, this translates into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>remote temperature control,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>alarms in case of deviations,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>automatic registration for audits,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>smarter preventive maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all businesses will use all the advanced features, but increasingly they will require \u201cequipment readiness\u201d, even if they start with basic usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-9fa49e3\" data-block-id=\"9fa49e3\"><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-3548\" src=\"https:\/\/gourmetcoreco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251019_084918-scaled.webp\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gourmetcoreco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251019_084918-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/gourmetcoreco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251019_084918-300x140.webp 300w, https:\/\/gourmetcoreco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251019_084918-1024x478.webp 1024w, https:\/\/gourmetcoreco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251019_084918-768x359.webp 768w, https:\/\/gourmetcoreco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251019_084918-1536x717.webp 1536w, https:\/\/gourmetcoreco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251019_084918-2048x956.webp 2048w, https:\/\/gourmetcoreco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251019_084918-18x8.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-3-la-experiencia-gastronomica-como-eje-ver-el-frio-no-esconderlo\">3.3.

The important thing is to work with a network that guarantees responsiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7) How do I know if I am oversizing or undersizing?<\/strong><br>Look at actual peaks, product rotation, openings, ambient temperature, daily load and targets (storage vs. display). If in doubt, ask your distributor for a proposal with clear criteria and assumptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8) What should a \u201cwell-made\u201d professional refrigeration proposal include?<\/strong><br>Need, context of use, assumptions, recommended model, why it fits, installation requirements, maintenance plan and support conditions. Without that, it is easy to get it wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glossary (key terms)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>HORECA:<\/strong> hotels, restaurants and catering;
