The North America refrigerants market is projected to grow from USD 1.75 billion in 2025 to USD 2.41 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.36%. The north america refrigerants market growth is driven by demand from residential and commercial HVAC systems, automotive air conditioning, industrial cold storage, and supermarket refrigeration. The region has a strong installed base of cooling systems, with replacement cycles accelerating as manufacturers and end users shift from high-GWP HFCs to low-GWP alternatives such as HFOs, CO2, ammonia, and hydrocarbon blends. Further, the regulatory landscape is primarily influenced by the AIM Act and state-level climate policies. Phasedown requirements are increasing the adoption of next-generation refrigerants. Additionally, growth in e-commerce-linked cold chain facilities, surging heat pump installations, and the modernization of food logistics infrastructure are further solidifying demand.

Recent developments in the region include the large-scale adoption of A2L refrigerants in residential and commercial HVAC systems, a significant redesign of chillers and rooftop units to comply with 2025 GWP thresholds, and investments in leak detection, recovery, and reclaim infrastructure. OEMs are leading the transition, with accelerated product upgrades across their portfolios. Cold storage expansion, driven by pharmaceuticals, food logistics, and e-commerce, is further increasing demand for refrigerants.

Based on type, the hydrofluorolefins (HFO) segment is expected to register the highest growth in the North America refrigerants market. This growth is primarily driven by the phase-down of refrigerants with high global warming potential and increasingly stringent environmental regulations at both the federal and state levels. HFOs and HFO-based blends are actively used as substitutes in both existing systems and in the development of new equipment due to their low global warming potential, high energy efficiency, and compatibility with long-term sustainability goals. With clearer regulatory guidelines, manufacturers and end users are accelerating the transition to HFO-based solutions.

Based on application, mobile air conditioning (MAC) is expected to experience the fastest growth in the North America market. The shift to R-1234yf as the standard refrigerant in all new vehicles is driving the refrigerants market in the region. Additionally, the increasing production of electric vehicles (EVs) and the rising demand for thermal control in both hybrid and electric cars are contributing to this trend. The adoption of advanced heat-pump architectures by OEMs in next-generation EVs is accelerating the transition to low-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants. At the same time, the large number of on-road vehicles in the region is boosting the demand for aftermarket services and refrigerant recharges. The growth of delivery services and ride-sharing companies is further influencing the continued need for MAC refrigerants, alongside the electrification of commercial vehicle fleets throughout the projected period.

Based on country, Canada is the fastest-growing market in North America, supported by strong national and provincial climate policies, rapid adoption of low-GWP refrigerants, and accelerated transition timelines for commercial and industrial refrigeration systems. Expanding cold-chain infrastructure for food logistics and pharmaceuticals, combined with significant incentives for heat-pump deployment in residential and commercial buildings, is intensifying demand for refrigerants. Supermarkets and distribution centers in Canada are rapidly adopting CO₂ systems, while federal decarbonization programs and updated building codes are driving modernization of HVACR equipment across provinces, reinforcing Canada’s position as the region’s highest-growth market.
