Description

 

Refrigeration Oil Market Size:

The Refrigeration Oil Market is expected to increase from USD 1.735 billion in 2025 to USD 2.178 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 4.65%.

Rising demand for consumer appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators due to increasing purchasing power and urbanization is one of the major drivers of the refrigeration oil market. Increasing global cold supply chain demand on account of growing global food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries is also positively impacting the growth of the refrigeration oil market. Rising demand for high-quality and low-viscosity refrigeration oil will further continue to propel the growth of the refrigeration oil market. However, stringent regulations regarding the limited use of fluorocarbon refrigerants are hindering the growth of the refrigeration oil market. Geographically, the refrigeration oil market is segmented as North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest regional refrigeration oil market growth during the projected period owing to increasing demand for processed food and beverage items in countries like China, India, and Australia. Moreover, the rising geriatric population in this region is also spurring the growth of the pharmaceuticals industry which, in turn, will augment the demand for refrigeration oils during the forecast period.
