More on hydrofluoroolefins| The end molecule Navin is manufacturing for Honeywell
The global hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.8% during 2017 – 2023 to reach USD 5,784.3 Million by 2023. Factors propelling the growth of HFOs market include exceptionally low GWP compared with HFCs and HCFCs, few facility modifications required to transition from HCFCs, EU regulations phasing out HFO from other fluorinated greenhouse gases, and low to mild flammability.
The increasing use of HFO in refrigeration, mobile air conditioning and foam are attracting the investors to generate business from HFO market. Moreover, environmental issues have made these industries to transit from HCFC to HFO. The companies are now taking lead in manufacturing HFO grades. Industry pioneers have patented HFO and markets them under a brand for instance Honeywell markets HFO under the name of Solstice and Arkema markets HFO as Forane. On the consumer side HFOs are being blended with hydrocarbons and water in order to reduce the incremental operating cost.
- Geographically, North America was holding the largest market share for hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs), in 2016 and is anticipated to dominate the market, throughout the forecast period. Growth of hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) market in this region is attributed to the stringent environmental regulations leading to replacement of HFCs and HCFCs.
It seems HFO is replacing HCFs and HFCs+Other ref gases. Worth a deeper inspection for those invested in fluorine companies
