The low GWP refrigerants market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.7% from 2018 to 2023

The low GWP refrigerants market is projected to reach USD 28.7 billion by 2023 from USD 16.5 billion in 2018, at a CAGR of 11.7% between 2018 and 2023. This growth can be attributed to the low environmental impact of low GWP refrigerants, phasing out of CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, and the increasing demand for refrigerants and air conditioners across the globe. High initial capital investments and flammability and toxicity issues related to low GWP refrigerants may restrain the growth of the low GWP refrigerants market.

Based on type, the hydrocarbon segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR

Hydrocarbon refrigerants have excellent thermodynamic properties, and refrigerating and air-conditioning systems operating using these substances are highly energy-efficient. Hydrocarbon refrigerants are miscible with conventional refrigerating oils and have a relatively high critical temperature. They are flammable in nature and can be explosive as well; this is a major safety concern associated with the use of hydrocarbon refrigerants and therefore requires hermetically sealed systems with explosion protection for electric components.

Commercial refrigeration segment expected to be the fastest-growing application segment

Commercial refrigeration includes cold displays, refrigerating chambers, ice machines & cold counters, and condensing units commonly used in supermarkets, shops, and centralized units. The commercial refrigeration segment is a rapidly growing sector of the low GWP refrigerants market as it is characterized by a high refrigerant leakage rate and high energy consumption.

South America is expected to be the fastest-growing low GWP refrigerants market

The South American low GWP refrigerants market is driven by development and growth in Brazil and Chile. The countries have been leading the region in terms of economic and infrastructural development and are projected to continue growing despite fluctuations in GDPs. The major end-use industries in the South American low GWP refrigerants market are infrastructure, industrial, oil & gas, and automotive.
