- Cyclopentane is a type of highly flammable alicyclic hydrocarbon which is used in the manufacturing of synthetic resins and rubber adhesives and transforming the phase of cellular structure of polyurethane insulating foam, used in commercial refrigerators.
- It is type of colorless in nature and has a similar odour as to that of petrol. Its main benefits and why its replacing other harmful chemicals in refrigerators is due to its zero-ozone layer depletion and very low global warming potential.
- Rising plans of phasing out the usage of hydro chlorofluorocarbon is the vital factor escalating the market growth
- North America dominates the cyclopentane market with the largest revenue share of 38.42% in 2025, characterized by strict environmental regulations phasing out ozone-depleting substances in foam blowing agents.
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the cyclopentane market during the forecast period due to robust growth in the construction and appliance manufacturing sectors
- Residential refrigerators segment is expected to dominate the cyclopentane market with a market share of 43.2% in 2025, driven by global regulatory shifts toward low-GWP refrigerants and the compound’s high insulation efficiency
