According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Low GWP Refrigerants Market is accounted for $27.57 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $59.57 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 13.7% during the forecast period. A refrigerant is a fluid that conducts heat when it is exposed to higher temperatures and pressures while absorbing heat at lower temperatures and pressures. The most prevalent categories are inorganic, fluorocarbons, and hydrocarbons. A greenhouse gas with a high potential for causing global warming is hydrocarbon. It accurately determines how much heat is trapped by a mass of gas in relation to how much heat is absorbed by a mass of carbon dioxide of a similar size. Refrigeration, air conditioning, heating, HVAC&R devices, and other processes all use GWP refrigerants to cut emissions.

According to The Japan Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association (JRAIA) June 2019 statistics, the 2018 commercial air conditioners demand has reached 14.90 million units, an increase of 2% from the previous year.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for low GWP refrigerants for commercial refrigeration

The ongoing expansion of retail food chains in developing countries is expected to enhance demand for low GWP refrigerants throughout the course of the projection period. The rise in international trade brought on by trade liberalisation is expected to boost the requirement for cold chain operations in this area. The local market is anticipated to gain from a competitive industry with low profit margins. The rapid preference change among food processors, retailers, and distributors towards high bay deep-freeze warehouses over manually operated outmoded facilities is another factor that is projected to increase demand for commercial refrigeration and push the market.

Restraint:

Issues associated with low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants

Despite the fact that numerous governmental and commercial groups are educating various businesses about the harmful environmental effects of high CWG refrigerants, the majority of people view this shift as a difficult process. There are just a handful of low CWG refrigerants that are appropriate for numerous applications. High-performance solutions have few possibilities for fluids with strong COP and minimal toxicity. These factors might make it more complicated to sell low CWG refrigerants in the upcoming years.

Opportunity:

Technological advancements for rising awareness

Recent technology advancements have increased awareness about how the environment reacts to industrial carbon footprints across several industrial sectors. End-users have shifted their focus to reducing their carbon footprint and the production of greenhouse gases by switching to low GWP refrigerants. Customers are becoming increasingly aware of the substantial environmental harm that high GWP commercial refrigerants, notably in the refrigeration industry, inflict. Over the upcoming years, it is anticipated that demand for low GWP refrigerants will rise as environmental impact and CWP continue to be important factors for industry players.

Threat:

Limited options of low GWP refrigerants

Despite growing knowledge of the negative environmental effects of high CWG refrigerants, end-users still find the transition to low GWP refrigerants to be a very difficult one. Even though the majority of market participants for low GWP refrigerants frequently introduce novel options, there are still only a few low CWG refrigerants that are suitable for a variety of applications. There are few high-performances, low-GWP fluid options for fluids with low toxicity, good COP, and mild flammability, which have an impact on the market growth for low GWP refrigerants.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 epidemic has a significant negative influence on the market for low GWP refrigerants. The market faced obstacles such as a limited supply chain and idle factories, which hindered the sector's expansion. The market participants implemented a number of strategies to handle the exceptional situation brought on by the pandemic. As food processing and drug formulation increased towards the end of 2020, the market showed a respectable increase in growth. Due to the growth of commercial refrigeration systems, a sizable need for low GWP refrigerants is anticipated in the future.

The hydrocarbons segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The hydrocarbons segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. This kind of low GWP refrigerant has strong thermodynamic features that enable the efficient operation of cooling and refrigeration systems. Due to these exceptional qualities, market participants and research institutions are concentrating on expanding the use of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons' demand in the market is anticipated to rise during the projected period as a result of this growing utilisation.

The commercial refrigeration segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The commercial refrigeration segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Commercial refrigeration systems use a variety of low GWP refrigerants in significant quantities, including hydrocarbons and fluorocarbons. The commercial refrigeration system has a variety of uses, including cold chain networks for commercial air conditioners, pharmaceutical medications, and cold preservation and safety systems for food items.

Region with highest share:

South America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period, due to the high demand for low GWP refrigerants in Chile and Brazil. These areas are seeing rapid economic and infrastructure development, which is boosting demand for low GWP refrigerants worldwide. The need for low GWP refrigerants from several end users in the industrial, infrastructural, automotive, and oil & gas sectors is also boosting market expansion.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The F-gas restrictions and HFC phase out plan are to blame for the increasing demand for low GWP refrigerants. The vast bulk of emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases come from hydro-fluorocarbons (HFCs). The demand for low GWP refrigerants is anticipated to rise during the forecast period as a result of these laws regarding fluorinated gas's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions in the area.
