REFRIGERANT RECOVERY SERVICE MARKET OVERVIEW

The refrigerant recovery service market, valued at approximately USD 5.39 billion in 2024, is forecasted to grow consistently, reaching USD 5.76 billion in 2025 and ultimately hitting USD 9.74 billion by 2033, at a steady CAGR of 6.79% from 2025 to 2033.

A device used to remove refrigerant from a refrigeration or air conditioning system is called a refrigerant recovery system. A recovery system is crucial because it stops the emission of hazardous gases into the environment. Additionally, recycling the refrigerant makes it possible for it to be utilized once more.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Stringent Regulations and Government Rules to Hinder the Market Growth 

COVID-19 had a disastrous influence on world trade, which simultaneously had an adverse effect on businesses, households, financial institutions, industrial facilities, and infrastructural firms. Due to a drop in demand for refrigerant from end-use applications, the COVID-19 epidemic had a severe effect on the global market for refrigerant recovery services. There were setbacks in a number of businesses, which decreased demand for refrigerants as a result.
