Market Overview

The UK Secondary Refrigerants Market Size is described as the business emphasis on production and integration of liquids that are used to transmit heat from a substance that is being cooled to a heat exchanger, where a primary refrigerant absorbs the heat. Key attributes of secondary refrigerants are exceptional heat transfer, low viscosity, non-corrosiveness, high specific heat, and chemical stability. Heat pumps and commercial and industrial refrigeration are two industries where these environmentally friendly substitutes are gaining traction. The transition to more ecologically friendly refrigeration systems, supported by legislation and growing environmental awareness, depends heavily on secondary refrigerants. Another factor propelling the market is advancements in low-GWP refrigerant formulations and corporate sustainability initiatives. The market for secondary refrigerants is expanding because of their high GWP, and they have implemented policies to phase out hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are commonly used primary refrigerants. Secondary refrigerants have become a competitive alternative as industry works to meet these rules since they lower the overall carbon footprint of cooling systems.
