Marc Chasserot, Publisher and Managing Director of shecco, explains:
“The market potential for natural refrigerants in North America is rising fast, especially as the business case becomes clearer for more and more companies…Today we publish an ‘industry first’ GUIDE to Natural Refrigerants – Market Growth for North America. We have been collecting data from hundreds of experts over the last year. We have analyzed trends, identified technology case studies, presented survey results to measure market outlook and much more.”
Why North America?
In light of the recent policy developments that have removed some of the barriers hindering the more widespread use of natural refrigerants (NR) in North America, the third in shecco’s GUIDE series, looks at one of the most promising world regions for NR market development.
“Today shecco is excited to launch its next free market intelligence report. The GUIDE on the market potential for natural refrigerants in North America is the result of intensive work with experts from the HVAC&R industry, legislators and academics. North America presents a clear opportunity for natural refrigerant solution providers, but still remains a market of largely untapped potential. As business choices have become harder, this GUIDE puts forward evidence that natural refrigerants are viable options for a growing share of applications, but also draws attention to the challenges lying ahead,” says Nina Masson, shecco Head of Market Research.
The “GUIDE 2013: Natural Refrigerants – Market Growth for North America” follows the launch of the widely quoted “GUIDE to Natural Refrigerants – Market Growth for Europe”, and the “Examples of NH3/CO2 secondary systems for cold store operators”.
