The global HCFC refrigerant market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period. According to the United States Environment Protection Agency, in 2010, R-22 and HCFC-142b are the next two HCFCs that the United States will stage out. From January 1, 2010 restriction has been imposed on the production, import, and utilization of R-22 and HCFC-142b, aside from continuing servicing required for the existing equipment. Since January 1, 2015, a ban on the production, import, and utilization of all HCFCs, aside from keeping adjusting requirements of refrigeration hardware was imposed. Since January 1, 2020, the R-22 will rely on recycled or stockpiled quantities, and by the end of 2030, the HCFCs will impose a ban on the remaining production and import of all HCFCs.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global HCFC Refrigerant Market
The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic made a big impact not only on the people but also became a global concern. After mid-February, refrigerant manufacturers resumed production slowly but insufficiently. Meanwhile, due to the limited raw material production and lack of domestic infrastructure, obtaining raw materials becomes very difficult. Almost all refrigerants have increased in price, especially R134a, R32, and R143. Whereas for the other blended HCFC, the price is more stable.
Segmental Outlook
The global HCFC refrigerant market is segmented based on refrigerant type, blend type, and application. Based on the refrigerant type, the market is segmented into R-22, R-124, and R-142B. Based on the blend type, the market is sub-segmented into R-401A, R-401B, R-401C, and Others. Based on the application, the market is divided into refrigeration and air conditioning. Further, refrigeration is divided into domestic, commercial, transportation, and industrial. Air conditioning is further segmented into domestic, commercial, transportation, industrial, and others (stationary air conditioning and mobile air conditioning). The above-mentioned segments can be customized as per the requirements. Among the refrigerant type, the R-22 is expected to hold a remarkable share in the market over the forecast period. It reduces the emission of ozone-depleting substances, which will protect the ozone layer and saves energy, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Global HCFC Refrigerant Market Share by Application, 2021 (%)
The Refrigerant Segment is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Global HCFC Refrigerant Market over the Forecast
Among the application, the refrigerant segment is expected to hold a significant share in the market over the forecast period. Due to the fact, that it has applications in both air conditioning and commercial and industrial refrigeration. Moreover, they are low-cost, widely available, and efficient. They also have zero ozone depletion potential. Despite their flammability, they are increasingly used in domestic refrigerators and heat pumps.
Regional Outlooks
The global HCFC Refrigerant market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement. Among all regions, the Europe region is expected to hold a considerable share in the market over the forecast period. European Union has adopted measures, which go way beyond the requirements of the Montreal Protocol, and has actively promoted R&D for alternatives.
Global HCFC Refrigerant Market Growth, by Region 2022-2028
The Asia-Pacific Region is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Global HCFC Refrigerant Market.
Based on regional analysis, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold a significant share in the market over the forecast period, owing to increasing demand for refrigeration, air conditioners, and cooling systems, growing use of HFCs in air conditioners of new automotive vehicles, rising disposable income, and rapid urbanization in the region.
Market Players Outlook
The major companies serving the global HCFC refrigerant market include Daikin Industries, Ltd., Honeywell International Inc., Jiangsu Bluestar Green Technology Co., Ltd, Jiangsu Meilan Chemical Co., Ltd., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in April 2022, CIAT, a part of Carrier Global Corporation, introduced a new range of VectiosPower rooftop air conditioning units operating on R-454B refrigerant, offering customers an optimum application solution. With a GWP of 466, R-454B’s overall carbon footprint is more than 80% lower than HFC R-410A, the refrigerant it replaces. Moreover, VectiosPower operating on R-454B offers all the space-saving and low noise benefits of the previous generation, while using the best refrigerant for rooftop applications, reducing environmental impact, and delivering higher efficiencies and lower operating costs.
