The growing adoption of low-GWP refrigerants, including natural refrigerants such as CO2 and ammonia, that align with sustainability goals would offer growth opportunities for the market in the coming years. Additionally, the rapid urbanization and industrialization in emerging markets, especially in Asia Pacific, present strong growth prospects.

Refrigerant Market Report Highlights

  • Based on type, the fluorocarbons segment dominates the refrigerant market share due to their wide application in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. However, the hydrocarbons and inorganic refrigerants segments are rapidly gaining traction due to their lower environmental impact and alignment with regulatory standards.
  • The air conditioning segment, by application, holds the largest market share, driven by rising demand in residential and commercial cooling systems. However, the refrigeration sector is witnessing the highest growth, particularly in industrial refrigeration applications due to increased food processing and pharmaceutical storage needs.
  • In terms of end user, the industrial segment leads the market, driven by heavy demand for refrigeration in manufacturing and chemical processes. The commercial sector is seeing the highest growth due to an increased adoption of refrigeration and air conditioning in the retail, hospitality, and healthcare sectors.
  • Asia Pacific dominates the refrigerant market due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, particularly in China and India. The  increasing demand for cooling systems driven by rising temperatures and growing middle-class populations in emerging economies drive the regional market growths.
