Industry Findings: Cooling demand growth across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors continues reshaping refrigerant consumption patterns worldwide. Governments increasingly promote low-global-warming-potential refrigerants as climate regulations tighten around hydrofluorocarbon emissions and energy efficiency standards. Rising demand for cold chain infrastructure, data centers, and HVAC modernization has also strengthened transition activity toward environmentally compliant refrigerant systems. During 2024, the United Nations Environment Programme continued implementation support linked to the Kigali Amendment aimed at reducing high-emission refrigerant usage globally. As per our findings, environmental compliance requirements and energy-efficiency targets continue accelerating adoption of next-generation refrigerant technologies across multiple industries.

Industry Player Insights: Leading companies operating in the global refrigerant market include Honeywell International Inc., Chemours Company, Daikin Industries Ltd., Arkema S.A., and Linde plc. Chemours Company expanded low-global-warming-potential refrigerant offerings during 2023 through additional products supporting sustainable cooling and refrigeration applications. In another major development, Daikin Industries Ltd. increased investment activity around environmentally friendly HVAC technologies in 2024 to strengthen adoption of advanced refrigerant systems across commercial and residential markets. These developments show how manufacturers increasingly align product portfolios with environmental regulations and energy-efficiency priorities.
