Hydrocarbon Refrigerants Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Propane, Isobutane, Propylene, Others), By Application (Refrigerators, Chillers, Air Conditioners, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The hydrocarbon refrigerants are mainly use where safety of the fuel gases is required, it is highly prescribed in the petroleum & gas. The hydrocarbon refrigerants are categorized into propane, isobutene, and propylene. Additionally, the product is natural, nontoxic refrigerants, and has zero ozone depletion potential. It provides excellent thermodynamic properties, and good compatibility with components. These properties makes hydrocarbon refrigerants as a preferred choice over fluorocarbon refrigerants. The product finds its utilization in a wide range of applications such as refrigerators, chillers, and air conditioners.

The increasing adoption of hydrocarbon refrigerants over fluorocarbon refrigerants will help to fuel the market growth. The hydrocarbon refrigerants are environmentally-friendly and provide more efficient cooling owing to its high latent heat of evaporation. These benefits make hydrocarbon refrigerants as an ideal choice over fluorocarbon refrigerants. It also aids to provide greater energy efficiency to the refrigerators. It is also used in commercial refrigeration, cold storage and food processing, vending machines, industrial refrigeration, small air conditioning systems, and large air conditioning. Hence, the rising for the product in these applications will fuel the hydrocarbon refrigerants market growth during the forecast timeline.  

However, hydrocarbon refrigerants are highly flammable in nature, which can be dangerous to the people. This further restricts its adoption in various applications and is anticipated to hamper the market growth.
