Frequently Asked Questions

1. What primarily drives HCFC demand today?
Polymer precursor demand for fluoropolymers (especially PTFE) is the dominant driver, while refrigeration servicing persists where legacy equipment remains.
2. Which HCFC type is most significant?
HCFC-22 represents the vast majority of demand and is central to feedstock consumption
3. How do regulations affect HCFC markets?
Regulations suppress emissive uses and promote low-GWP alternatives. Feedstock uses continue under strict oversight as molecules are transformed into polymers.
4. What is the medium-term outlook (to 2035)?
Modest global growth led by feedstock demand, offset by declines in refrigeration/foams. Regional shifts favor Asia-Pacific, with mature markets stable in feedstock.
5. Where are the risks?
Tightening environmental controls, energy costs, fluorspars availability, and faster-than-expected adoption of HFOs could alter trajectories.
