Refrigerant
Overview:
The refrigerant market is accelerating at a rapid pace owing to the changes it is witnessing in the consumer behavior. Urbanization, across the globe, has become a trend. As more and more cities are coming into being, the impacts of it are becoming more visible. This has triggered a demand for cooling mechanisms such as refrigerators and air conditioners. At the same time, the cold chain sector is getting traction from various industries which can squarely influence the refrigerant market. The refrigerant is a heat carrier, and in the refrigeration cycle, it runs in a loop between gas and liquid state. In the process, it controls temperature. The global refrigerant market is expecting robust growth during the forecast period (2017-2023), reveals Market Research Future (MRFR). The detailed report also includes other factors such as an increase in disposable income, demand from the automobile sector, and domestic & commercial projects. These factors can impact the refrigerant market in the coming years considerably. The market is also witnessing significant growth for natural refrigerants owing to the diminishing use of fluorocarbon due to Montreal and Kyoto protocols.

Competitive Analysis:
Prominent players operating in the global refrigerant market are Honeywell International Inc. (U.S.), The Chemours Company. (U.S.), Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. (Japan), Arkema S.A. (France), DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, Ltd. (Japan), Dongyue Group Co. Ltd (China), Mexichem S.A.B. de C.V. (Mexico), The Linde Group (Germany), Sinochem Group (China), SRF Limited (India), and DowDuPont Inc. (U.S.). The market banks mostly on the strategic moves taken by significant players for their individual growth which helps the refrigerant market in its holistic growth as well.
Stringent regulations, however, can deter the refrigerant market growth during the forecast period. Global warming and depletion of the ozone layer can be considered the influencers for such imposing acts. However, the refrigerant market can reap the benefits of usage of hydrocarbon and other inorganic refrigerants. Eco-friendly options from various companies are providing enough opportunities to build a sustainable future.
Segmentation:
The global refrigerant market can be segmented by type and application.
Based on the type, the global refrigerant market can be segmented into natural refrigerants and synthetic refrigerants. The natural refrigerants include organic/hydrocarbons and inorganic refrigerants. Hydrocarbons are comprised of propane, n-butane, iso-butane, and others. Inorganic hydrocarbons can be sub-segmented into ammonia, CO2, water, and others. Synthetic refrigerants/fluorocarbons are segmented into two types, namely pure fluorocarbons and fluorocarbon blends. Pure fluorocarbons are further segmented into chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and hydrofluoro Olefins (HFO) and others. Fluorocarbon blends consist azeotropic and zeotropic (non-azeotropic).
Application-wise segmentation of the refrigerant market can be segmented into refrigerators, air conditioners, chillers/heat pump, and others. Refrigerators segment is further segmented into domestic refrigerators, commercial refrigerators (medium scale), industrial & supermarket refrigerator (large scale), and transport refrigerator. Air conditioners (AC) are sub-segmented into centralized AC, split AC, window AC, portable AC, and hybrid AC.
Regional Analysis:
Geographic analysis of the refrigerant market includes Asia Pacific (APAC), North America, Europe, Latin America (LATAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA).
The APAC region is doing exceptionally well in this sector. Emerging economies such as Indian and China are providing significant traction to the regional market. Rising disposable income and huge population are proving to be major factors. At the same time, the revamped industrial sector is showing growing demand for chiller/heat pump application. The MEA market is having growth in the refrigerant market due to ongoing construction & infrastructural activities that are expected to boost the tourism industry. North America and Europe markets are more mature than the rest, and steady growth can be expected during the forecast period.
In December 2018, the Daikin Industries Ltd. finalized their agreement with Austria-based AHT Group with an aim to capitalize on environmental regulations.
In November 2017, the SRF Limited made a pact with the global titan Mexichem to buy HFC 125, a hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant, to substantially grow in the air conditioning industry.
