Market Overview:
The global hydrocarbon refrigerant market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for energy-efficient and environment-friendly cooling solutions across the globe. In addition, the growing awareness about the benefits of using hydrocarbon refrigerants is also contributing to the growth of this market. The global hydrocarbon refrigerant market can be segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, propane accounted for a major share ofthe global hydrocarbon refrigerant market in 2017 and is expected to maintain its dominance duringthe forecast period.
Product Definition:
A hydrocarbon refrigerant is a refrigerant comprising of molecules consisting only of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Hydrocarbons are important as they have low flammability and toxicity, making them safer to use than other refrigerants. They are also non-ozone depleting, meaning they do not contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer.
Propane:
Propane, also known as propylene or Iso-butane, is a hydrocarbon refrigerant with the formula (CH3)3CH2OH. It is produced as a byproduct of natural gas and petroleum refining processes. In terms of global consumption, it accounts for approximately 4% of the total HFC consumption followed by Freon 12 and 13 CF3 respectively.
Isobutane:
Isobutane is a colorless and highly flammable gas. It has a strong odor similar to gasoline. Isobutane is used as the refrigerant in propane-based HCR systems due to its low cost, high heat of vaporization, and easy handling characteristics.
It can be produced by several methods including the catalytic cracking of butanes or by fractional distillation (a process where it is obtained as an intermediate product).
Application Insights:
The refrigerators application segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The growing demand for food products, especially in urban areas, has led to an increase in demand for hydrocarbon refrigerants. Furthermore, increasing disposable income levels among consumers is expected to augment the product consumption over the next eight years.
The chillers application segment was valued at USD 1,000 million in 2017 and is anticipated to witness considerable growth over the forecast period owing to its rising applications across end-use industries such as oil & gas and food & beverage. Growing environmental concerns regarding greenhouse gasses have resulted in a rise in demand for hydrocarbon based refrigerants that are eco-friendly compared with conventional HFCs which are considered as high global warming potential gases.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global hydrocarbon refrigerant market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The presence of emerging economies such as China, India, and Japan has resulted in an increased demand for HCRs. Furthermore, rapid industrialization along with increasing per capita income levels has led to a rise in residential & commercial construction activities across these countries which will further drive product demand.
The European region accounted for 20% of the overall revenue share in 2017 owing to stringent environmental regulations that have restricted industry growth over past few years. However, growing awareness regarding energy efficiency among consumers coupled with supportive government initiatives is anticipated to provide a potential opportunity for industry participants over next eight years.
North America emerged as second-largest regional market accounting for 18% of total revenue share in 2017 on account of high consumption volume related to air conditioning and refrigeration applications across U.S.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for refrigeration and air conditioning in developing countries
- Stringent environmental regulations for hydrocarbon refrigerants
- Technological advancements in hydrocarbon refrigerant systems
- Growing popularity of natural refrigerants as an alternative to HCFCs and HFCs
- Rising prices of conventional refrigerants such as R-22
