Natural Refrigerant Market
September, 2023
New York, September 2023: According to a new research study by Global Insight Services (GIS), the Natural Refrigerant Market is expected to grow rapidly over the next 10 years to reach a value of more than US$ 2.9 billion by 2032.
A natural refrigerant is a chemical obtained from natural sources, which include ammonia, water, or carbon dioxide, that has favorable thermodynamic heat transfer qualities and is utilized in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. It has a low or zero ozone-depleting potential (ODP) and a low global warming potential (GWP), which makes it a greener option to synthetic refrigerants. Natural refrigerants have a low environmental effect and so provide a sustainable and energy-efficient cooling option.

Natural Refrigerant Market: Market Drivers and Trends
The increasing stringency of government regulations are propelling the market growth. Ozone-depleting substances (ODS) are classed as class I or class II banned chemicals in the United States, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Class I compounds, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, have a higher ozone depletion potential and, with a few exceptions, have been phased out in the United States. As a result, no class I chemicals can be manufactured or imported. Class II compounds are all hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), which act as substitutes for a variety of class I substances. The bulk of HCFCs were forbidden from manufacturing and import as of 2020. As a result, such laws are expected to increase demand for natural refrigerants.
Furthermore, increasing awareness regarding environment-friendly refrigerants is likely to drive the market growth during the projected period. Natural refrigerants form naturally through biological and chemical processes without human intervention. Natural hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, water, and air have zero or near-zero GWP and may be used to minimize energy, gas, and water use. Switching to natural refrigerants that are better for the environment’s long-term growth constitutes one of the most efficient strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These drivers are likely to propel market expansion.
Natural Refrigerant Market: Market Restraints and Challenges
Using combustible gas is usually dangerous. Propane or natural gas is utilized for cooking and heating in many households. The purpose of a heat pump using a flammable refrigerant is to keep the refrigerant contained within a sealed system. Unlike refrigerators, which are controlled by International Electro technical Commission (IEC) regulations that allow up to 150 grams of flammable refrigerant, heat pumps that operate with flammable refrigerant charges more than 150 grams are not governed by any standards. Certain agencies have concluded that the danger of using flammable refrigerants is permissible if certain measures are followed. The cost may be limited depending on the size of the room. The heat pump installation compartment must be well-ventilated. In the case of a spill, there may be no components that can ignite. As a result, the dangers related to flammable refrigerants may stifle the expansion of the natural refrigerants industry. Hence, these factors are expected to restrain growth of the market during the forecast period.
Natural Refrigerant Market Report Findings

The carbon dioxide segment is likely to hold the major share of the market in 2022
Based on type, the Natural Refrigerant Market is segmented into carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, and others. The hydrocarbons segment is further sub-segmented into propane, isobutene, ethane, ethylene, propylene, and others. The carbon dioxide segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Under normal conditions, carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless, heavier-than-air liquid. It is classified as an excellent refrigerant since it is non-toxic and inflammable. Because their ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) is zero, CO2-based refrigerants have no impact on the ozone layer. However, it might be argued that since it is a byproduct of industrial operations, it would have been emitted into the atmosphere otherwise. Carbon dioxide is one of the most common gases used in supermarket refrigeration as a substitution for synthetic refrigerants.
The refrigerators segment is likely to hold the major share of the market in 2022
By application, the market is classified into refrigerators, air conditioning systems, and others. Based on refrigerators, the segment is further divided into industrial, commercial, domestic, and others. Similarly, the air conditioning systems segment is further sub-segmented into stationary, chillers, heat pumps, and others. The refrigerators segment dominated the market in 2022 in terms of revenue and is expected to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period. There are many different types, including industrial, household, and others. For a brighter future, there is an urgent need to seek pure, eco-friendly refrigerants. The hunt for refrigerants that do not deplete the ozone layer or contribute to global warming has raised the desire for natural refrigerants such as CO2, NH3, and hydrocarbons, which are often used in refrigerators.
The Europe region is accounted for the majority of market share in 2022
Region-wise, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Europe has the biggest market share in terms of Natural Refrigerant Market value followed by North America. This is due to the The surge in demand for natural refrigerants in Europe can be attributed to tight environmental restrictions that have curtailed the usage of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants. Europe is expected to be the fastest-growing area in the market owing to the region’s high rate of natural refrigerant consumption by end users. Furthermore, the market for refrigerants in this region is expected to grow as a result of the country’s improved level of living. Natural refrigerants use less energy, have less leakage, and are less costly than fluorocarbons. According to the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration European Association (AREA), the European Association of Refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump (RACHP) contractors, yearly turnover has surpassed $26.27 billion in 2020.
