The popularity of air conditioners has skyrocketed, entering the 1960s with the number of air conditioners installed in American cars nearly tripling from 1961 to 1964.
Even one thing that hasn't changed is the increasing popularity of air conditioners in the automotive sector. In 1980, 72% of new cars sold in the United States had air conditioners installed. In 1990, this figure jumped to 94%.
The automaker developed the R134a, a replacement for the R12 which is more environmentally friendly. Outdated refrigerants are considered to be very damaging to the ozone layer. When R12 was banned in 1996, the car industry was not too affected because it already had alternatives.
In the past, the purpose of buying a car air conditioner was to create a superior product that embodies the exclusivity side. But now car air conditioners have become a basic requirement in passenger vehicles.
