Trans-1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze(E)) Market, Global Outlook and Forecast 2025-2032

In Business Insights
June 22, 2025

The global Trans-1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze(E)) market demonstrates robust expansion, currently valued at US$201 million in 2024 with projections indicating a rise to US$383 million by 2032, advancing at a CAGR of 9.5%. This eco-friendly hydrofluoroolefin refrigerant plays a pivotal role in sustainability initiatives across refrigeration and foam-blowing applications, offering near-zero environmental impact with its ODP of 0 and GWP of just 6.

HFO-1234ze(E) addresses tightening global refrigerant regulations, serving as a drop-in replacement for high-GWP HFCs in chillers, heat pumps, and insulation foams. Recent EPA approvals and EU F-gas regulation revisions consistently reinforce its position as a preferred low-impact solution, driving adoption across commercial and industrial sectors.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis

North America leads global consumption at 38%, fueled by stringent EPA SNAP rulings accelerating HFC phase-outs in supermarket refrigeration and foam applications. The U.S. accounts for 72% of regional demand, with California’s CARB regulations creating particularly strong adoption drivers for sustainable refrigerants.

Europe follows closely, with Germany and France spearheading adoption through the EU F-gas quota system’s progressive restrictions. Asia-Pacific emerges as the fastest-growing market, where China’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2060 stimulates refrigerant transitions across its massive HVAC manufacturing sector.

Key Market Drivers and Opportunities

The market rides three powerful trends: regulatory shifts mandating low-GWP refrigerants, corporate sustainability commitments, and lifecycle cost advantages over older-generation chemicals. Refrigeration applications dominate at 54% market share, particularly in commercial chillers and transport refrigeration where energy efficiency improvements compound environmental benefits.

Emerging opportunities include next-generation foam blowing applications for insulated packaging—critical for cold chain logistics expansion—and innovative uses in semiconductor manufacturing processes. The developing world’s refrigeration demand growth presents untapped potential although requires supportive policy frameworks to catalyze adoption.

Challenges & Restraints

Despite strong growth fundamentals, the industry contends with manufacturing complexity limiting production scalability and residual concerns about mild flammability (classified A2L). The market faces price volatility from fluctuating precursor chemical supplies and competition from alternative refrigerants like CO2 systems in certain applications.

Trade policy emerges as another consideration, with varying regional phase-out timelines creating complex multinational compliance requirements. Intellectual property protections on production processes continue influencing competitive dynamics as new manufacturers enter space.
