After a stagnant situation, there is now a silver lining in the Southern Hemisphere air conditioner market. Australia showed favorable growth and acted as a driving force in 2017. The Brazilian market has been showing signs of recovery recently. In Africa, several markets have growing potential, and these markets expected to bring business opportunities for air conditioner manufacturers.

3. European AC Market Still Seeking Future Refrigerants
The hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant R32 has become a trend in new room air conditioners (RACs) exhibited at the MCE expo. Not only at the exhibition but also in the actual European market. However, HFC refrigerants were added to the list of controlled substances in October 2016 and will be phased out by F-gas regulations in the future. Therefore, R32 is not expected to be permanently used, but is the most prominent candidate for RACs at present. Meanwhile, propane (R290) RACs were certified to use the Blue Angel Ecolabel issued by Germany-based label contracting body RAL during the expo.
