HFC Refrigerant Market Poised for Expansion Amid Growing Use in Commercial and Residential Refrigeration Systems

Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants are synthetic compounds widely used for cooling and refrigeration in air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, heat pumps, and automotive AC systems.
Published 08 July 2025

The Global HFC Refrigerant Market is influenced by several key drivers. The push for environmentally friendly solutions is significant, as concerns about climate change and global warming lead industries to seek alternatives to traditional refrigerants. Regulatory changes are also driving the market, with governments implementing stricter regulations on substances harmful to the ozone layer. The automotive and HVAC sectors are increasingly adopting more efficient refrigerants in their systems, which has been accelerating market growth. There is also a growing demand for air conditioning in residential and commercial spaces, contributing to increased consumption of HFC refrigerants.

The HFC Refrigerant Market CAGR (growth rate) is expected to be around 4.4% during the forecast period (2025 - 2032).

Drivers:

Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants remain widely used due to their effectiveness, safety, and compatibility with existing refrigeration and air conditioning systems. They offer good thermodynamic properties and non-flammability, making them a practical choice for residential, commercial, and industrial cooling applications. The ongoing demand for HVAC systems, food cold chain logistics, and consumer appliances continues to drive consumption.

HFC Refrigerant Market Companies Are:

Gujarat Fluorochemicals, BASF, Solvay, Refchem, Emerson Electric, Arkema, Daikin Industries, ShinEtsu Chemical, Harp International, Air Products and Chemicals, Linde, Chemours, Mitsubishi Chemical, Honeywell

Restraints:

HFCs have high global warming potential (GWP) compared to some newer alternatives, drawing regulatory scrutiny worldwide. International agreements like the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol are pushing for phasedown of HFC use, creating restrictions on production and consumption. Compliance with these environmental policies and transitioning to alternative refrigerants can raise costs for producers and end-users alike.
