United States: Recent Industry Developments

✅ In July 2025, The Dow Chemical Company expanded its secondary refrigerant manufacturing capacity at its Louisiana facility by 50,000 tons annually to meet rising North American demand for glycol and CO2 loops. The expansion focused on pharmaceutical-grade fluids used in cold-chain and HVAC systems. The move supports advanced cooling needs and sustainability goals in the U.S. cold-storage and industrial sectors.

✅ In June 2025, Eastman Chemical Company partnered with Cold Chain Technologies to develop tailored secondary refrigerant formulations for pharmaceutical logistics, aiming for ultra-low-temperature performance and storage stability. The collaboration targets biologics and vaccine transport applications where precision cooling is critical. It marks a strategic push into high-value cold chain fluids.

✅ In March 2025, Clariant AG acquired a specialty chemical manufacturer of additive systems for secondary refrigerants, enhancing its portfolio of corrosion and heat-transfer enhancement additives in glycol/brine fluids. The acquisition strengthens Clariant's role in high-performance heat-transfer fluid systems used in indirect refrigeration. It underscores consolidation in the secondary refrigerant value chain.

✅ In February 2025, BASF SE announced a research partnership with a U.S. university to optimise secondary refrigerant heat-transfer fluids for district cooling and industrial reuse applications, focusing on reducing viscosity and pump energy in chilled-loop systems. The tech aims to enable large-scale indirect cooling applications in buildings and campuses. It advances the efficiency of secondary refrigerant systems in sustainable infrastructure.

Japan: Recent Industry Developments

✅ In October 2025, Japanese cold-chain operator Lawson deployed transcritical CO2-based secondary refrigerant loops at 46.5 % of its convenience-store sites, supported by national subsidies for natural refrigerant systems. The retrofit shifts the stores away from high-GWP direct refrigerants to indirect cooling loops for food retail. It reflects Japan's policy-driven upgrade of secondary coolant infrastructure.

✅ In August 2025, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation launched a next-generation glycol-based secondary refrigerant fluid engineered for industrial refrigeration below -40 °C, used in Japan's food-processing and frozen-storage sectors. The new fluid improves pump efficiency and freeze protection while meeting stricter safety standards. It signals advanced formulation focus in Japanese chilling systems.

✅ In July 2025, JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation introduced a brine-loop secondary refrigerant service offering for large-scale HVAC and data-centre cooling installations in Japan, using salt-brine loops and heat-recovery integration. The service combines fluid supply, maintenance and thermal-system design to optimise indirect cooling. It bolsters secondary refrigerant uptake in Japan's industrial cooling market.

✅ In June 2025, Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. expanded production of carbon-dioxide (CO2)-based secondary refrigerant fluids for district-cooling applications in Japan, facilitating the transition from primary refrigerant direct systems. The expansion enables increased use of non-flammable and low-GWP indirect loops in urban building cooling. It supports Japan's low-carbon infrastructure push.

Secondary Refrigerants Market: Drivers

The secondary refrigerants market is expanding steadily as industries increasingly adopt energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable cooling systems. Secondary refrigerants, used to transfer thermal energy from primary refrigerants, play a key role in reducing direct greenhouse gas emissions and improving overall system safety. Rising regulatory pressure to phase out high-GWP refrigerants under frameworks such as the Kigali Amendment and F-Gas Regulation is driving market growth. Industrial refrigeration, HVAC, food processing, and cold chain logistics sectors are major consumers due to their need for stable and cost-effective thermal management solutions. Additionally, the growing demand for district cooling and large-scale refrigeration networks is accelerating adoption.

Technological advancements in heat transfer fluids, including glycols, brines, and CO2-based blends, are enhancing system efficiency and reducing maintenance costs. Manufacturers are focusing on developing non-toxic, biodegradable, and corrosion-resistant formulations to meet sustainability goals. Increasing urbanization and expansion of temperature-controlled supply chains are supporting demand in emerging economies. Moreover, the integration of IoT and smart monitoring technologies in refrigeration systems is optimizing energy usage and operational reliability. With the global shift toward low-emission, high-performance cooling solutions, the secondary refrigerants market is set for sustained growth, supported by innovation and strong environmental compliance initiatives.
