CO 2
Commercial Refrigeration
According to the 164 respondents to this question,
CO 2
shows strong potential for rapid market growth in
commercial refrigeration in North America. Although
two-thirds say the market for CO 2
is still a niche market
today (0-5%), 58% believe its market share will grow to
6-20% by 2015, and 45% of respondents are confident
that the market share of CO 2
refrigerant will rise to more
than 20% by 2020.
Hydrocarbon Commercial Refrigeration
Although the number of HC installation in commercial
refrigeration is still low today, thought to be in the “0-
5%” market share range, 42% of respondents believe
that their use will grow to more than a 10% market share
by 2020. Every tenth respondent believes a market share
of “more than 50%” could be possible by then. However,
markets will not be moving as fast as for CO 2
, with half of
all respondents still predicting a market share of HCs of
below 5% in the next 3 years.
