Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled, ‘Natural Refrigerants Market by Refrigerant Type (Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrocarbon), Application (Refrigeration, Air-conditioning), End User (Residential, Industrial, Commercial), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2031.’
According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research®, the natural refrigerants market is projected to reach $2.3 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2024–2031. The growth of this market is driven by the rising demand for natural refrigerants for air-conditioning applications, stringent government regulations concerning synthetic refrigerants, and the low environmental impact of natural refrigerants compared to synthetic refrigerants. However, flammability and toxicity issues restrain the market’s growth.
Moreover, the rising awareness about environmentally friendly refrigerants and technological advancements in cooling equipment are expected to create market growth opportunities. However, the widespread availability & acceptance of synthetic refrigerants is a major challenge impeding the market’s growth.
The natural refrigerants market is segmented by refrigerant type (ammonia refrigerant, carbon dioxide refrigerant, hydrocarbon refrigerant, propane refrigerant, other refrigerants), application (refrigeration, air-conditioning, other applications), and end user (residential, industrial [food & beverage, manufacturing, automotive, pharmaceutical, chemical, other industries], commercial [hotel & restaurants, retail, transport & logistics, offices, other commercial users]). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the regional and country levels.
Based on refrigerant type, the natural refrigerants market is segmented into ammonia refrigerant, carbon dioxide refrigerant, hydrocarbon refrigerant, propane refrigerant, and other refrigerants. In 2024, the hydrocarbon refrigerant segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 37% of the natural refrigerants market. This segment’s large market share can be attributed to the rising preference for eco-friendly solutions, the increasing demand for hydrocarbon refrigerants due to their low environmental impact, and the increasing utilization of hydrocarbon refrigerants in refrigerators and air conditioners. Additionally, the rising need for refrigeration across various sectors, such as food preservation, pharmaceuticals, and air conditioning, drives the demand for hydrocarbon refrigerants. In March 2024, BITZER Kühlmaschinenbau GmbH (Germany) launched its Orbit scroll compressor series designed for use with hydrocarbon refrigerants, catering to heat pumps, air conditioning, and IT cooling applications. Such initiatives by market players also contribute to the growth of this segment.
However, the ammonia refrigerant segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the period. This segment’s growth can be attributed to the rising demand for ammonia refrigerants due to their zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and negligible impact on global warming, government policies aimed at promoting energy efficiency and sustainable practices, and the increasing public awareness regarding the environmental benefits of ammonia. Moreover, market stakeholders are launching several initiatives in response to the growing demand for ammonia refrigerants. For instance, in August 2022, the Institute of Refrigeration (U.K.) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR) (U.S.) to enhance collaboration on the use of natural refrigerants and to exchange information regarding the effective utilization of ammonia in cooling applications.
Based on application, the natural refrigerants market is segmented into refrigeration, air-conditioning, and other applications. In 2024, the refrigeration segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 52% of the natural refrigerants market. This segment’s large market share can be attributed to the rising demand for refrigeration across various sectors, such as food preservation, pharmaceuticals, and cold storage, coupled with technological advancements in cooling equipment, resulting in the increased integration of natural refrigerants. For instance, in December 2023, EVAPCO, Inc. (U.S.) launched VersaSplit, a low-charge ammonia (R717) mega-split refrigeration system designed for the industrial sector.
However, the air-conditioning segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment’s growth is driven by the increasing demand for energy-efficient air conditioners, a shift in consumer preferences towards eco-friendly solutions, and government initiatives aimed at promoting the adoption of natural refrigerants.
Based on end user, the natural refrigerants market is segmented into residential, industrial, and commercial. In 2024, the industrial segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 45% of the natural refrigerants market. This segment’s large market share can be attributed to factors such as the increasing adoption of natural refrigerants in industrial facilities due to their lower energy consumption and cost-efficiency, the high demand for natural refrigerants in industrial processes such as food & beverage production, chemical manufacturing, and cold storage, and initiatives by companies in the industrial sector to reduce their environmental footprint.
However, the commercial segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment's growth is driven by the growing demand for commercial refrigeration in commercial spaces such as food preservation, supermarkets, and cold storage facilities, government policies promoting energy efficiency and sustainable practices, and the increasing adoption of air conditioners in commercial spaces. In May 2023, Hoshizaki Corporation (Japan) launched 44 commercial refrigerators and 24 freezers that use natural refrigerants for commercial spaces.
Based on geography, the natural refrigerants market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2024, Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of over 44% of the natural refrigerants market. Asia-Pacific’s significant market share can be attributed to the rapid pace of industrialization and urbanization, the surge in research and development activities dedicated to enhancing natural refrigerant systems, government regulations driven by mounting environmental concerns, and the rising preference for eco-friendly solutions. Japan and Australia are early adopters of natural refrigerants due to stringent regulations and proactive government measures. Furthermore, the market in Asia-Pacific is projected to register the highest CAGR of over 7% during the forecast period.
