Dublin, Jan. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Next Generation Refrigerants Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028 Segmented By Type (Natural Refrigerants, Hydrofluoro Olefins & Others), By Application, By End-Use, By Region and Competition" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Global Next Generation Refrigerants Market is anticipated to witness robust growth in the forecast period, 2024-2028 due to the increased concerns about global warming around the world. In 2020, the earth's surface temperature was around 0.98 Celsius degrees warmer than the 20th-century average.

Next-generation refrigerants with little to no global warming potential (GWP) and ozone depletion potential include ammonia and tetrafluoro propene. Due to the growing demand for environmentally friendly production processes, the need for next-generation refrigerants is growing rapidly. The two next-generation refrigerants with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and global warming potential are natural refrigerants and hydrofluoroolefins and Others. These factors are expected to boost market expansion.

Growing Uses of Next Generation Refrigerants in a Variety of End-Use Industries

The use of Next Generation Refrigerants in a wide range of end-user industries, for instance, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and industrial, is expected to increase the growth of the overall market at a substantial rate. Moreover, HFCs are frequently used as refrigerants because they are more effective at cooling and heating than other refrigerants. HFCs don't include chlorine; hence, they impact the ozone layer less. In addition, HFCs produce polymer foams as blowing agents, fire retardants, solvents in cleaning products, and plasma etching to manufacture semiconductors. All these factors are propelling the growth rate of the market.

Mergers & Acquisitions

  • In 2021, Honeywell and Trane Technologies launched the eco-friendly next-generation refrigerant N41, an alternative to the highly flammable and toxic R-410A. N41 has the same efficiency level as R-410A, while it also reduces the global warming impact by 65 percent. N41 has widespread applications like commercial air conditioning in variable refrigerant flow, rooftops, and residential air conditioning in unitary ducted equipment.

Recent Developments

  • A new technology called life-cycle climate performance (LCCP), developed by the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) in collaboration with the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Technology Institute (AHRTI) can estimate the effectiveness and performance of a typical commercial refrigeration system with alternative refrigerants and minor system modifications to provide lower-GWP refrigerant solutions with improved LCCP in comparison to baseline systems.
