Ammonia Commercial Refrigeration
A majority of the 164 respondents (84%) believe that
ammonia refrigeration for commercial applications
still remains a small market (0-5%) today. Nearly a
third (31%) believe ammonia’s market share will have
increased to more than 5% by 2015. Nearly half (48%)
of the respondents are confident that ammonia will
experience gradual growth and cover more than 5% of
the commercial refrigeration market by 2020.
Hydrocarbon Light-Commercial
Refrigeration
Hydrocarbons are more commonly used in, and have
the largest potential for growth, in the light commercial
refrigeration sector in the North American market. 66%
of the 162 respondents believe the market share of
hydrocarbons will have reached more than 5% by 2015.
This number grows to 77% by 2020, when 39% say the
market share has the potential to be even larger than
20%.
