Cyclopentane Market Manufactures and Key Statistics Analysis 2018-2026
The global cyclopentane market was valued at US$ 284,460.87 Thousand in 2017 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2018 to 2026, according to a new report titled ‘Cyclopentane Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026,’ published by Transparency Market Research (TMR). The global cyclopentane market is driven by rise in the demand for climate-friendly refrigerators from the consumer electronics industry. Europe accounts for a major share of the global cyclopentane market.
Rise in demand for climate-friendly refrigerators from the consumer electronics industry to drive the global cyclopentane market
Refrigeration has had a high impact on industries, lifestyle, agriculture, and settlement patterns. Refrigerators are used in kitchens for storing fruits and vegetables, salads, fish, and meat safely for long periods. In addition, they are used in the health care industry for storing a range of medical devices and products at low temperatures. Polyurethane rigid foam is the most widely used insulating material in refrigerators and freezers throughout the world. Cyclopentane is a cost-efficient hydrocarbon with good thermal properties, zero ODP, and low GWP. It is widely adopted in Europe and the U.S. as a blowing agent in PU insulation foam for use in refrigerators. Insulation efficiency of polyurethane foams is a key property utilized for low-temperature preservation of food during its processing, storage, and distribution to consumers. Hence, rising demand for residential as well as commercial refrigerators is expected to propel the demand for polyurethane foams and, in turn, cyclopentane during the forecast period.

PU insulation foams blown with cyclopentane are ideal for use in residential refrigerators, as they consume much less electricity to cool food. Furthermore, they reduce carbon emissions and other harmful pollutants from electricity-generating plants that burn fossil fuels. Cyclopentane does not contain any hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). It aids in significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. Cyclopentane is a more eco-friendly option for use in the foam-blowing process compared to its counterparts such as R134a and R245fa, due to its low global warming potential (GWP) of approximately 10 and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP). Rising demand for climate-friendly refrigerators that utilize refrigerant and foam-blowing agent gases with GWP of 20 or less and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) is estimated to drive the demand for cyclopentane during the forecast period.
Rise in demand for cyclopentane for use in insulating construction materials to augment the market
Demand for cyclopentane for use in the building & construction industry as insulation, typically for thermal purposes, has increased significantly in the last few years. Cyclopentane exhibits excellent thermal conductivity, good adhesion to substrates, and mechanical properties even at low applied densities. In the building & construction industry, rigid PUR foam panels are mostly used to insulate flat roofs, saddle roofs, ceilings, floors, and walls. Rising demand from new constructions has augmented the demand for rigid polyurethane foam products and, in turn, cyclopentane across the world. The construction industry in Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth in the near future. Countries such as China, India, Vietnam, and Thailand have witnessed significant increase in the number of construction projects recently. These projects utilize polymeric foams in roofing, walls, flooring, and other structural applications. With rise in the demand for foams in these projects, the demand for cyclopentane for use as a foam-blowing agent is also anticipated to increase in the near future.
Residential refrigerators segment dominates the global cyclopentane market
Among products, the residential refrigerators segment dominated the global cyclopentane market in 2017. Rising demand for climate-friendly residential refrigerators is boosting the global cyclopentane market. Energy is lost through refrigerator walls and roof. This may incur additional operating costs. Use of cyclopentane as a foam-blowing agent reduces heating and cooling loss, thereby improving the efficiency of refrigerator units and building envelopes. Thus, energy saving, low GWP, and zero ODP are some of the features of cyclopentane augmenting the demand for cyclopentane in the residential refrigerators segment.
