[Research Report] The refrigerant market was valued at US$ 16,458.3 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 25,534.6 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2021 to 2028.

Refrigerant is a type of fluid used in the thermodynamic cycle of air conditioning. The refrigerant undergoes a continuous transition of phase from liquid to gas and then gas to liquid in the refrigeration process. Refrigerants are highly used as coolants in refrigeration systems, chillers, and air conditioning to absorb heat from the surroundings and pump it outside.

In 2020, Asia Pacific held the largest revenue share of the global refrigerant market. High demand for cooling systems from commercial and industrial sectors such as chemical processing, food & beverages, and healthcare is mainly driving the market in Asia Pacific. Additionally, the region consists of countries such as Japan, South Korea, India, and China, which are top manufacturers of refrigeration systems and air conditioning. HFC refrigerants are preferred in industrial chillers due to their perfect thermal stability, minimal toxicity, non-corrosiveness, and non-combustibility. The growing industrialization and urbanization is also the major factor for the rising demand for refrigerants in the region.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Refrigerant Market

The COVID-19 pandemic affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. In 2020, various industries had to slow down their operations due to disruptions in value chains caused by the shutdown of national and international boundaries, which led to low demand for refrigerants from various industries. The COVID-19 pandemic caused volatility in the prices of raw materials required to produce refrigerants. The worldwide consumption of refrigerants declined due to the low demand from various industries such as construction and manufacturing. The reduced demand from various industries due to the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth of the refrigerant market.  However, the demand for refrigerants is expected to rise globally as various economies revive their operations.

Market Insights
Rise in Demand for Refrigeration Systems

Refrigeration is the essential process in the industry and home appliances for the purpose of cooling and maintaining room temperature. The refrigeration system consists of four major components – compressor, condenser, expansion device, and evaporator. Refrigerants are combined with compressor and evaporator to absorb heat from the environment. The increasing demand for refrigeration systems at a larger scale in industrial and commercial sectors is fueling the market growth. Many chemical manufacturing industries use refrigeration systems at a large scale for chemical processing. This has led to an increase in the consumption of refrigerants at a higher rate for industrial applications. For example, HFC refrigerant was used during the Aramco project in Saudi Arabia. The boom in industrialization has led to a rise in demand for various types of refrigerants in refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) the industry.

Refrigeration systems are used in the large cold chain for storing and distributing goods with the help of refrigerated transport such as refrigerator trucks, rails, cars, and containers. The advancement in the supply chain industry with the introduction of refrigeration systems for maintaining the quality of products during transportation has created lucrative opportunities for the refrigerants market.

Type Insights

Based on type, the global refrigerant market has been segmented into HCFC, HFC, HFO, isobutane, propane, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and others.
