Key Market Trends

Increasing Momentum in the Global HVACR Industry

HVACR (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration) is an important part of residential and commercial buildings. The market is filled with different kinds of HVACR appliances.

Refrigeration lubricants for high-purity ammonia, such as R600a (isobutane), R290 (propane), R1270 (propene/propylene), R1150 (ethene/ethylene), and R170 (ethane), are used in a wide range of applications in domestic refrigeration, industrial refrigeration, and transport refrigeration.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), since 1990, space cooling energy consumption has more than tripled, posing considerable challenges for electricity systems, particularly during peak demand periods and extreme heat events.

In April 2021, Thailand produced around 658.17 thousand units of household refrigerators, according to the Office of Industrial Economics (Thailand).

According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) of Japan, the country produced around 1.32 million units of electric refrigerators in 2020.

Due to all the above-mentioned factors, the demand for refrigeration lubricants is expected to surge in the upcoming years.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

The Asia-Pacific region was the largest market for refrigeration lubricants. The rising demand for refrigeration lubricants can be attributed to the increasing usage of air conditioning systems for domestic and industrial applications.

In China, According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the production of new energy passenger and commercial vehicles reached 111,900 vehicles till November 2020.

The leading electric car manufacturers in China include Tesla, BYD Co., and Nio Inc. The growing demand for electric vehicles in the country is driving the market for refrigeration lubricants for automotive compressors.

India ranks fourth in the largest railway system across the globe after the United States, Russia, and China with 123,542 km of tracks, 67,415 km route, and more than 7,300 stations.

The second-largest populated country in the world runs 13,523 passenger trains and 9,146 freight trains regularly on its network. The railways have carried 1.23 billion ton of freight in FY2020-FY2021.

Due to all the aforementioned factors, Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market in the upcoming years.
