Global green refrigerants market was valued at US$ 18.8 Billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 32.1 Billion by 2030, exhibiting CAGR of 6.92% over the forecast period (2023-2030).
The collaborative efforts by countries worldwide is contributing to process of suppressing the consumption of synthetic refrigerants such as Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) that leads to depletion of the ozone layer and made climatic changes due to global warming. Moreover, Montreal Protocol, an international treaty finalized in 1987 by nations to protect the ozone layer from depletion, restricted the usage of these synthetic refrigerants and encouraged development of refrigerants with minimal global warming potential (GWP) and ozone depleting potential (ODP).
Global Green Refrigerants Market: Drivers
Phasing Out of HCFC (Hydrochlorofluorocarbons) and HFC (Hydrofluorocarbons) Refrigerants
Major initiatives aimed at developing new variants of natural refrigerants with better performance qualities and increased functionality is expected to drive the market growth. All these developments are a reaction to phasing out of HCFC (Hydrochlorofluorocarbons) and HFC (Hydrofluorocarbons) refrigerants, and this is expected to boost demand for green refrigerants.
Increasing Awareness Regarding Environmental Issues
Increasing consumer purchasing capacity and awareness regarding environmental issues caused by chemicals are expected to drive the market growth. Increasing demand for green refrigerants such as saturated and saturated hydrocarbons is expected to drive the market growth, owing to its advantages such as minimum ozone depletion potential and low global warming potential and other benefits combined with high investments for research and development by key market players.

Global Green Refrigerants Market Segmentation
Among product type, carbon dioxide segment held a dominant position due to its demand, as major companies in commercial refrigeration sector are encouraging the development of efficient CO2 based refrigeration technology. CO2 is used in transcritical refrigeration systems especially in large supermarkets and energy-efficient buildings, owing to its properties such as odorless, non-toxic, and non-flammable. For instance, in October 2019, Huurre Group Oy, a manufacturer of CO2 based refrigeration systems, was acquired by Caverion, a Finland-based refrigeration business firm involved in providing sustainable and energy-efficient building solutions.
Among application, transportation refrigeration has high demand due to rising trading of perishable commodities, food, and medical supplies. Green refrigerants are cheap and efficient solutions for transportation across countries. Technological developments in green refrigerants-based systems helps in avoiding harmful effects of synthetic refrigerants. The main aim of this refrigerated transport carriers is to maintain the product quality and minimalize losses due to food spoilage. According to an International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) report, around 4 million refrigerated vehicles function across the globe. However, lack of infrastructure in emerging economies, expensive product maintenance, and inflation in fuel costs are expected to hamper the segment growth over the forecast period.
