The prices of higher GWP refrigerants have risen again this month with leading wholesalers announcing increases of up to 15%.
As the UK and Europe begin the phase-down of HFCs, the price of the higher GWP refrigerants continue to rise.
Leading refrigeration wholesalers announced rises of 10-15% from the beginning of this month, with R404A, the highest GWP refrigerant, being particularly badly hit. As many in the industry warned, with the phase-down being based on CO2 equivalents the high GWP refrigerants are going to be most affected.
RW Wholesale, Dean & Wood, HRP and FSW were amongst those announcing a 15% increase in the price of R404A and R507. R134a, which will also be phased out from certain end uses, sees a rise of 10%.
R404A alternative R407A also sees a 10% increase. Air conditioning refrigerant R410A is increased by 10%, as is R407C.
The wholesalers say that they are passing on increases from the refrigerant suppliers, and it now appears we are settling into a cycle of six-monthly increases.

Forum|Breaking the Deadlock in the Refrigerant Industry: Second-Generation Phased Out, Third-Generation Restricted, Fourth-Generation in R&D…
Amid the global phase-down of HFCs, the refrigerant industry is undergoing an unprecedented green revolution and transformation.
From the deepening implementation of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol to policy support worldwide for low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants; from iterative breakthroughs in alternative technologies to traditional refrigerants to the urgent demand for efficient refrigerants in sectors like new energy, cold chain logistics, and data centers—the industry is at a critical juncture. Currently, second-generation refrigerants are being rapidly phased out, third-generation refrigerants face quota restrictions, and fourth-generation solutions are still under development… At the same time, quota constraints have led to challenges such as counterfeit products flooding some regional markets and difficulties in overcoming international patent barriers, severely hindering the industry’s healthy development.
