Refrigerants Global Market Report 2025: Trends, Opportunities, And Challenges

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The refrigerant market is poised for growth, driven by increasing demand for AC and refrigeration across sectors. Key opportunities include the adoption of natural refrigerants, cold chain modernization, and sustainable solutions. Challenges include high costs and strict regulations.

Dublin, Sept. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Refrigerants: Global Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.
The global market for refrigerants was valued at $25.9 billion in 2024 and is estimated to increase from $27.2 billion in 2025 to reach $36.7 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% from 2025 through 2030.

The global refrigerant market is driven by skyrocketing demand for refrigeration and AC systems across sectors ranging from residential and commercial buildings to automotive, industrial cold storage and electric vehicles (EVs). Growth drivers include rising global temperatures, urbanization and the expanding middle class, particularly in developing economies. Significant opportunities are emerging from adopting natural refrigerants (such as CO2, ammonia and hydrocarbons) and modernizing cold chains for the pharmaceutical and food industries.

The ongoing shift toward sustainable, low-global warming potential (GWP) solutions, spurred by regulations and consumer demand, adds further dynamism to the market. Despite these opportunities, the market faces challenges from high production costs, such as retrofitting and replacing refrigeration/AC systems, strict regulatory compliance, and safety and toxicity issues of refrigerants.
