The Low GWP refrigerants market is expected to grow from US$ 22.99 billion in 2021 to US$ 49.89 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 11.7% between 2022 and 2028.
Low GWP refrigerants have various product offerings in different categories as well as applications. The increased awareness regarding the harmful impacts of conventional refrigerants has led to high demand for low GWP refrigerants market. New product offerings such as low GWP synthetic refrigerants are in demand as they are cost-effective. However, natural refrigerants are growing in terms of demand as they have no negative long-term environmental effects. However, issues associated with low GWP refrigerants, such as high-pressure demands, potential flammability, and toxicity, are expected to restrain the market growth due to significant safety considerations.
MARKET DYNAMICS
Major applications of low GWP refrigerants include heat pumps, air conditioning, and refrigeration. Large industrial and commercial heat pumps are used to supply energy to the district or local heating networks. These heat pumps mostly use ammonia-based refrigerants in the natural category; however, the use of synthetic HFO low GWP blends is gaining prominence. The most used natural low GWP refrigerants in air conditioning applications are hydrocarbons (for small residential applications) and ammonia (for larger central air conditioning applications). Moreover, CO2 is being increasingly used in supermarkets for both air conditioning and refrigeration purposes.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The COVID-19 outbreak negatively affected the demand for refrigerants globally, which reflected significantly lower volumes of orders among the manufacturers, resulting in a lower production volume. The decline in production volumes adversely affected the businesses of various industry manufacturers, including low GWP refrigerant manufacturers. Thus, the procurement of low GWP refrigerants declined during the initial phase of the spread of COVID-19, negatively impacting the global low GWP refrigerants market growth.
The major decline in demand was witnessed in the commercial section of the chemicals industry. This is due to the drastic closure of public places across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South & Central America, and the Middle East & Africa. However, since 2021, public places have started reopening, and the growth trend is foreseen to continue. This would propel the procurement of low GWP refrigerants, thereby bolstering the market growth.
