Global Zero ODP and Low GWP Refrigerants Market Growth 2024-2030
The market for Low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants is undergoing a significant transformation driven by stringent regulatory frameworks, environmental concerns, and technological advancements. As global awareness of climate change intensifies, regulations such as the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol and the European Union’s F-Gas Regulation are mandating reductions in the use of high-GWP refrigerants like HFCs, propelling the shift towards alternatives with lower GWP. This regulatory pressure is fostering a rapid adoption of low-GWP refrigerants across various sectors including commercial, industrial, and residential refrigeration. Among the prominent low-GWP alternatives are hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs), which, such as HFO-1234yf, offer significantly reduced GWP compared to traditional HFCs, and are increasingly used in automotive air conditioning and other applications. HFC replacements like R32 (Difluoromethane) and R-152a are also gaining prominence. R32, with a GWP of around 675, is a direct and efficient replacement for higher-GWP refrigerants like R410A in air conditioning systems, while R-152a, with a GWP of 138, is used in specific applications where lower environmental impact is crucial, despite its flammability. Additionally, natural refrigerants like carbon dioxide (CO2), ammonia (R-717), and hydrocarbons (e.g., propane R-290) are gaining traction due to their negligible or zero GWP and high efficiency, making them suitable for diverse applications from commercial refrigeration to industrial processes. Technological advancements are also playing a crucial role in facilitating this transition, with innovations improving the efficiency, safety, and applicability of low-GWP refrigerants. For example, new system designs and refrigerant blends are enhancing the performance of low-GWP options and addressing challenges such as high pressures or flammability. The market is experiencing robust growth, driven by both regulatory compliance and the pursuit of sustainability. This growth is further supported by increasing investment in research and development, aimed at optimizing the performance and expanding the applications of low-GWP refrigerants. As industries and governments align with more ambitious climate goals, the trend towards low-GWP refrigerants is expected to continue accelerating, reshaping the refrigeration and air conditioning landscape with a focus on reducing environmental impact and enhancing energy efficiency.
The global Zero ODP and Low GWP Refrigerants market size is projected to grow from US$ 2496 million in 2024 to US$ 3534 million in 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2024 to 2030.

Global and regional regulations are the primary drivers for the adoption of low-GWP refrigerants. Agreements like the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, which mandates a global phase-down of HFCs, are pushing countries to reduce their reliance on high-GWP refrigerants. In the European Union, the F-Gas Regulation strictly limits the use of high-GWP refrigerants, further accelerating the transition. Similar initiatives in the U.S., Japan, and other regions are enforcing the shift to more sustainable refrigerant solutions.
As concerns over climate change grow, there is increasing pressure on industries to minimize their carbon footprints. Traditional HFC refrigerants contribute significantly to global warming due to their high-GWP values. Switching to low-GWP alternatives like HFOs, natural refrigerants (ammonia, CO2, hydrocarbons), and low-GWP HFCs (R32) allows companies to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
Many low-GWP refrigerants, especially natural refrigerants and some HFOs, provide high energy efficiency, which leads to cost savings over time. This is particularly important in energy-intensive industries like refrigeration and air conditioning. The ability to combine environmental benefits with energy savings is a strong incentive for companies to make the switch.
