Global Adoption Potential<br />
QUESTION: “Rank the following world regions by overall<br />
Natural Refrigerants Market Adoption Potential”.<br />
High Potential<br />
Moderate Potential<br />
Global adoption potential - average values<br />
Minor Potential<br />
No Potential<br />
Scale: Adoption Potential<br />
30<br />
Europe sets the tone for the adoption of natural refrigerants<br />
An overwhelming majority - around 74% of the 1,000 industry<br />
expert respondents to the global HVAC&R survey<br />
believe that Europe shows “high” potential for the market<br />
uptake of CO 2<br />
, NH 3<br />
and the group of hydrocarbons<br />
used as refrigerants. This also confirms that acquired<br />
competences of European-based corporations in natural<br />
refrigerant technology will remain a solid basis for supplying<br />
domestic and overseas markets with HFC-free solutions<br />
for the foreseeable future.<br />
Europe is followed by Oceania/Australia, North America<br />
and Asia where an overall “moderate” market potential<br />
for natural working fluids exists, but where on average<br />
a third of all respondents still see a “high” adoption rate.<br />
Minor leadership potential, on the contrary, is recorded<br />
for South America and especially Africa, with only 17%<br />
and 14% of respondents believing that non-fluorinated<br />
gases will have a “high” potential to be adopted in the<br />
near future.<br />
