Thermal fluids: Refrigerants - Technology and Market Analysis
This is a hybrid report consisting of a market demand tracker (excel file) and a detailed presentation on refrigerants that are currently in use, their technology, new alternatives and policy landscape on automotive refrigerants in key markets worldwide.
- Part 1: The updated tracker (Thermal Fluids Tracker 2025-26) reflects global demand forecast for automotive refrigerants. it intends to provide the market demand outlook of refrigerants used in internal combustion engines (including ICE stop-start), electric, hybrid (mild and full) and fuel cell light vehicles.
- Part 2: The detailed presentation (Thermal Fluids: Refrigerants - Technology and Market Analysis) aims to examine the various types of refrigerants used in vehicles and provide an outlook on their market trends. The outlook is based on an assumption that involves the PFAS ban by the European Union, which will indirectly ban the use of R-1234yf, currently the most widely used refrigerants in cars worldwide.
