<p align="justify">Fluorocarbons had the largest market size, by volume in 2014, accounting for a share for the maximum share of the total market. The fluorocarbon segment is witnessing a slow growth due to stringent environmental regulations such as F-Gas regulation, and Montreal Protocol, which demands the phasing out of such harmful gases. Countries such as North America have already started the phasing out of HCFCs and HFCs, due to their harmful effect on environment. These strict regulations provide a wide opportunity to refrigerants such as inorganics and hydrocarbons. Inorganics, have the second largest market share, and are also expected to have the highest growth rate between 2015 and 2020.</p>
<p align="justify">The Asia-Pacific region remains the largest market for refrigerants, followed by Americas, and Europe which are comparatively very small market as compared to Asia-Pacific. Asia-Pacific refrigerant market is also expected to witness the highest CAGR of 7.9% from 2015 to 2020. The refrigerants are widely used in various end-user industries such as automobile, construction, chemicals, and oil & gas and these industries are booming in the Asia-Pacific region. Asia Pacific is home to both, the largest and the fastest-growing car markets. Construction is also a key emerging market in Asia-Pacific which is witnessing a significant growth because of the presence of major economies such as China, India, and Japan.</p>
