1. Price of Refrigerant Remains Low with Oversupply of R410A
According to industry experts, three reasons contributed to the weak refrigerant market: first, the total market demand was weak due to the lackluster global economic growth; second, the demand for residential air conditioners and central air conditioners slowed down for a long time; third, the concurrent capacity expansion of refrigerant suppliers caused serious oversupply of refrigerants.

４. India (Global Air Conditioner Market Review for First Half of 2013)
The Indian air conditioner market, which has experienced stalled growth over the last two years, is showing renewed vitality in 2013. Temperatures soared in May and RAC sales in January - May came to approximately 1.2 million units, a 20% rise over the same months of the previous year. In addition to the heat wave, sales are also growing dramatically in outlying cities to drive sales at all manufacturers. Sales about 20% higher than 2012 are expected in calendar 2013, which would give India’s AC market a scale of about ￥300.0 billion (US$ 3 billion).
