Refrigeration Oil Market expected to reach US$ 476.4 Mn & ~ 5.3 % CAGR through 2021-2026

Future Market Insights delivers key perceptions on the global refrigeration oil market in its latest report titled ‘Refrigeration Oil Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2016–2026’.

Global sales of refrigeration oil were estimated to be valued at US$ 1,026.8 Mn in 2015 and are anticipated to increase with a CAGR of 5.3% over the forecast period. Asia Pacific Excluding Japan is estimated to account for the regional share of 31.2% in the global refrigeration oil market by the end of 2016 and is expected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period.

Refrigeration oil is a lubricant, derived from either mineral oil or synthetic oil which is a blend of a special high-temperature formulation of oils and additives in order to provide lubrication to compressors. The refrigeration oil flows under pressure where it changes its state from liquid to vapors for the generation of the cooling effect. Some of the major reasons for the rise in demand for refrigeration oil in compressors as a lubricant are the cold chain transportation for frozen food, beverages, and meat products, HVAC&R systems in healthcare sectors, and increasing preferences towards low GWP refrigerants.

Consumption of electrical power more than 70% by the refrigeration equipment and the depletion of the ozone layer due to increasing emission of Green House Gases (GHG) from refrigeration systems has led to the production and adoption of low GWP refrigerants which will boost demand for more energy-efficient refrigeration oil. Various government organizations are trying to enforce amendments over the industries to reduce the use of HCFCs and CFCs in refrigeration systems until 2030 by A5 countries in order to identify such refrigerants as obsolete. Thus, the adoption of new refrigerants is expected to be the major reason behind the development of refrigeration oil compatible with these refrigerants in refrigeration.

Segmentation highlights

  • Based on product type, the global refrigeration oil market can be segmented into mineral oil and synthetic oil. The synthetic oil segment is expected to hold a significant share in the global refrigeration oil market and is expected to expand relatively higher in terms of value over the forecast period. The segment is expected to create incremental opportunity more than the mineral oil segment during 2016–2026
  • Based on the refrigerant type the global refrigeration oil market can be segmented as chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), hydro-chlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), hydro-fluorocarbon (HFC), ammonia, and others. The growth rate of the other segment is expected to accelerate as compared to remaining refrigerants in terms of value and is anticipated to create a productive incremental opportunity over the forecast period
  • Based on application the global refrigeration oil market can be segmented as air conditioners, coolers, chillers, refrigerators/ freezers, condensers, and others. The air conditioners segment is estimated to account for a major share in the overall global refrigeration oil market with a relatively maximum CAGR value over the forecast period
  • Based on end-users the global refrigeration oil market can be segmented as industrial, commercial, and residential. The industrial segment is estimated to be a major contributor in the overall global refrigeration oil market followed by commercial and residential sectors by 2026 end 

Regional market projections

The global refrigeration oil market is segmented on the basis of region into North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific Excluding Japan (APEJ), Japan, and the Middle East & Africa. APEJ is anticipated to register the highest CAGR in terms of value over the forecast period. North America and Europe are highly focused on using low GWP refrigerants in refrigeration oil. The markets of Latin America, the Middle East & Africa, and Japan are expected to remain stagnant over the forecast period.

Vendor insights

The major shareholders of the global refrigeration oil market are MEIWA CORPORATION, Royal Dutch Shell plc, ExxonMobil Corporation, Idemitsu Kosan Co. Ltd, FUCHS Lubricants, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, BASF SE, and The Lubrizol Corporation. These players have adopted a strategy of capacity expansion of their existing production units and strengthening the sales distribution networks worldwide to meet the increasing demand for refrigeration oil across the globe and are therefore expected to offer productive market opportunities over the forecast period.
