According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Low GWP Refrigerant Market Report by Type (Inorganics, Hydrocarbons, Fluorocarbons and Fluoro-olefins (HFCs and HFOs)), Application (Commercial Refrigeration, Industrial Refrigeration, Domestic Refrigeration, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” the global low GWP refrigerant market size reached USD 8.7 Billion in 2024. Low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants are a pivotal development in the field of cooling and air conditioning technology. These refrigerants are specifically designed to mitigate the adverse environmental impacts associated with traditional high-GWP refrigerants, which contribute to global warming and ozone layer depletion. They are formulated to have significantly lower emissions of greenhouse gases when compared to their high-GWP counterparts. They play a crucial role in reducing the carbon footprint of cooling systems, thus aligning with global efforts to combat climate change. These refrigerants are used in a wide range of applications, from residential air conditioning units to commercial refrigeration systems and industrial cooling processes.
Global Low GWP Refrigerant Market Trends:
The increasing emphasis on mitigating climate change is driving the global market. Regulatory initiatives and international agreements have increased a shift away from high GWP refrigerants, which contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. This transition towards low GWP alternatives is driving research, development, and adoption of more environmentally friendly refrigerants across various industries. Moreover, consumer awareness and preferences for eco-friendly products are playing a substantial role. As individuals become more environmentally conscious, the demand for products and systems that minimize their carbon footprint has increased. This includes refrigeration and air conditioning systems that employ low GWP refrigerants, which not only align with sustainability goals but also often boast improved energy efficiency and performance characteristics. Also, researchers and manufacturers are continually exploring new compounds and formulations that provide efficient cooling while having a minimal impact on global warming. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach USD 15.7 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 6.73% during 2025-2033.
