According to YH Research, the global market for Artificial Ground Freezing(AGF) should grow from US$ 2037 million in 2024 to US$ 3537 million by 2031, with a CAGR of 8.1% for the period of 2025-2031.

Artificial Ground Freezing (AGF) is a geotechnical engineering service that actively lowers the ground temperature to below freezing using a refrigeration system, causing groundwater to solidify and form a high-strength frozen soil barrier. Its core functions include ground reinforcement, groundwater isolation, and deformation control, and it is suitable for soft, high-water-content formations (such as saturated sand and silt).

In-depth insight into market trends

Market Structure and Regional Characteristics
The global artificial ground freezing (AGF) market exhibits significant technology-driven differentiation and regional division of labor. In the Asia-Pacific region, centered around China, local companies dominate the mid-range market with both cost and technological advantages. Brine freezing technology accounts for over 60% of the market, with equipment costs 40% lower than in Europe and the United States. These companies primarily serve scenarios such as subway construction and contaminated site remediation. Driven by strict green construction regulations, Europe has a 75% penetration rate for liquid nitrogen quick freezing technology. This high-end solution, combined with patented AI temperature control technology, commands a premium of over 30% compared to Asia-Pacific, focusing on historical building preservation and sustainable engineering. North America, with mining applications as its core (accounting for 70% of regional demand), combines high-end monitoring systems with liquid nitrogen deep freezing technology to meet the needs of rapid shaft support and high groundwater pressure environments, resulting in world-leading technical complexity.

Major Global Manufacturers
The global artificial ground freezing (AGF) industry exhibits a technology-driven competitive landscape. The top five companies hold a combined 52% market share, with technological barriers and project experience forming their core competitive advantage. Specifically, Italy's Trevi Group leads the market with an 18% share. Its independently developed 3D printing technology for freezing pipes achieves an accuracy of less than 0.1mm and holds the world record for the deepest freeze at 280 meters. The UK's Keller Group holds a 15% share. Its core product, the intelligent freezing control system, successfully supports landmark projects such as the London Crossrail Tunnel by adjusting refrigerant flow in real time. China Coal Technology and Engineering Group holds a 12% share. Its innovative liquid nitrogen-brine composite freezing technology effectively solves the problem of rapid water-stopping in water-rich sand layers. Germany's Linde dominates the high-end emergency market with its liquid nitrogen ultra-low temperature systems, widely used in scenarios such as tunnel repair. These companies, through differentiated technological approaches, are jointly driving the evolution of AGF towards deeper, smarter, and greener development.

Industry Chain Division of Labor
The global artificial ground freezing (AGF) industry chain exhibits a clear vertical division of labor: the upstream sector primarily comprises refrigeration equipment manufacturers and environmentally friendly refrigerant suppliers. The former provides core hardware such as compressor units and heat exchangers, while the latter replaces traditional CFCs with green refrigerants such as CO₂ and NH₃ to meet environmental regulations. The midstream sector is divided into two main categories: technology solution providers and engineering contractors. Technology solution providers specialize in customized freezing design (such as freezing pipe layout and refrigerant circulation optimization), while engineering contractors are divided into large infrastructure groups (providing full-process freezing, support, and monitoring services) and specialized refrigeration companies (focusing on niche areas such as liquid nitrogen rapid freezing and deep ground freezing). Downstream application areas include public infrastructure (subway tunnels, bridge foundations), mining groups (shaft support, goaf remediation), and energy companies (oil and gas pipeline/drilling platform foundation reinforcement), forming a complete industry closed loop from equipment supply, solution design, to project implementation.

Policies and Industry Challenges
In geotechnical engineering, China and the EU are promoting technological innovation through policy guidance, but the industry still faces multiple challenges. China has included brine freezing technology in the "14th Five-Year Plan" key technology catalog and is promoting standardization. The European Union has mandated the use of low-carbon refrigerants and subsidized the development of liquid nitrogen AI systems. Both sides are attempting to overcome the limitations of traditional processes. However, technological monopoly issues have become prominent: European and American companies hold core patents for liquid nitrogen rapid freezing and AI control, making it difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in technological iterations. In terms of engineering applications, ground surface uplift exceeding 5mm caused by frost heave can damage surrounding buildings and increase ground pretreatment costs by 30%. In terms of economic efficiency, energy consumption accounts for over 50% of total project costs (200-800kW·h/m³), and electricity price fluctuations directly impact profit margins, forming a chain reaction of "policy promotion, technical bottlenecks, and cost pressures."
