DUBLIN, March 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Refrigerants Market by Type (HCFC, HFC, HFO, Isobutane, Propane, Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide, Air, Water, Propene, Isopentane), Application (Domestic, Commercial, Industrial, Chillers, Split AC, VRF, Window, MAC), and Region - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The refrigerants market size is estimated to be USD 22.9 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 31.0 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 6.2% between 2018 and 2023.

Factors such as increasing demand for consumer appliances and growing cold chain market will drive the refrigerants market. The major restraint for the market will be the regulations imposed against usage of fluorocarbons such as HCFCs and HFCs in North America and Europe. However, the increasing demand for natural refrigerants will act as an opportunity for the market.

Carbon dioxide is expected to be the fastest-growing type segment in the refrigerants market.

Carbon dioxide is used as a refrigerant in various applications such as supermarket/hypermarket, transport, industrial, and chillers. Its thermos-physical properties such as good heat transfer coefficient, negligible pressure loss, and low viscosity make it a potential refrigerant for these applications. Carbon dioxide is estimated to be the fastest-growing refrigerant during the forecast period. Inorganic refrigerants such as carbon dioxide are mostly used in supermarket/hypermarket and pharmaceutical & food industry. Factors such as the growing organized retail sector and increasing infrastructure spending on supermarket with large sales areas are driving the demand for carbon dioxide in the region.

The split ACs application is projected to account for the largest share, in terms of volume and value, of the overall refrigerants market between 2018 and 2023.

Split ACs is estimated to be the largest application segment in 2018 and is expected to continue its dominance throughout the forecast period. Refrigerants have a high demand in the split ACs application in APAC. This is due to the surge in building & construction end-use industry, high economic growth rate, and an increasing standard of living and disposable income. Economic & demographic growth, increasing residential building activities, growing urbanization, and housing construction expenditure are the important drivers of the refrigerants market in the split ACs application.

APAC is expected to be the fastest-growing refrigerants market during the forecast period, in terms of volume.

APAC is the fastest-growing refrigerants market. The rising disposable income of consumers along with the changing lifestyle plays a significant role in boosting the refrigerants market. The market growth of refrigerants in the region is mainly attributed to China - the largest refrigerants market globally. Large consumer markets and lower cost of production in India and China are driving the region's refrigerants market. Moreover, rapid urbanization, demand for domestic consumer appliances, and the reviving infrastructure industry in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia are expected to support the growth of the refrigerants market in Southeast Asia during the forecast period.
