Report Overview
HFC-125 (pentafluoroethane) is a hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant commonly used in medium- and low-temperature refrigeration systems, including commercial and industrial applications such as supermarket freezers, cold storage, and transport refrigeration. It is also utilized as a component in refrigerant blends like R-404A and R-410A, which are widely adopted in air conditioning and heat pump systems. Due to its zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), HFC-125 became a preferred alternative to ozone-depleting substances like CFCs and HCFCs under the Montreal Protocol. However, its high global warming potential (GWP) has led to increasing regulatory scrutiny under international agreements such as the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol and regional policies like the EU F-Gas Regulation, which aim to phase down HFCs in favor of lower-GWP alternatives. The market for HFC-125 is influenced by evolving environmental regulations, technological advancements in refrigerant formulations, and the growing demand for energy-efficient and sustainable cooling solutions. Key industry players are investing in next-generation refrigerants, while end-users in developed markets are transitioning to alternatives such as hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) and natural refrigerants (CO2, ammonia). Despite declining demand in regions with strict HFC phase-down schedules, HFC-125 remains significant in emerging markets where regulatory pressures are less stringent and existing infrastructure still relies on HFC-based systems.
The global HFC-125 Refrigerant market size was estimated at USD 212.18 million in 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.50% during the forecast period.
