Refrigeration Oil Market Segmentation
Refrigeration oil is a type of lubricant used in refrigeration systems to lubricate compressor motors and other moving parts. The market for refrigeration oil can be segmented by oil type, application, and region.
basis of oil type
- Synthetic oil
- Mineral oil
Synthetic oil is the largest oil type of refrigeration oil market.
Synthetic oil accounted for the largest share of the overall refrigeration oil market, in terms of value, in 2020. Synthetic oil is manufactured by combining synthetic base oils and additives. It has several advantages over conventional mineral oil due to its high performance in extreme conditions, better viscosity index, higher shear stability, and improved chemical resistance. In addition, its compatibility with low GWP and modern refrigerants gives them an added advantage over mineral oil.
basis of application
- Refrigerators Freezers
- Air Conditioner
- Automotive AC System
- Aftermarket
Refrigerators Freezers is estimated to be the largest application of the refrigeration oil market during the forecast period.
Refrigerator freezer is the largest application of refrigeration oil. This growth is attributed to the rising demand for perishable food items and changing the lifestyle of people in developed and developing regions. Refrigeration oil is used in domestic, commercial, and industrial refrigerators freezers. In addition, the growing demand for refrigerated food products and increasing trade of food products are driving the refrigeration oil market in the refrigerator freezer application.
