Why the Refrigeration Oil Market Matters in the Pharmaceutical Cold Chain
The automotive industry presents a promising opportunity for the refrigeration oil market as modern vehicles increasingly integrate advanced air conditioning and cooling systems. Rising global temperatures, urbanization, and consumer demand for comfort have made air conditioning a standard feature in most vehicles. Refrigeration oils are indispensable for ensuring the smooth operation of compressors in these systems, reducing friction, preventing wear, and enhancing cooling efficiency. With the introduction of eco-friendly refrigerants in the automotive sector, the need for specialized oils has increased. For example, R-1234yf, a low-GWP refrigerant, is replacing R-134a in many vehicles, requiring oils that are compatible with the new chemical properties. This transition is driving demand for synthetic oils like POE and PAG, which offer superior performance and environmental compliance. The growth of electric vehicles (EVs) adds another dimension to the market. EVs rely heavil...
