As the CFCs are carried to Antarctica there is a big ozone hole. Chlorine and bromine atoms from CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) separate and destroy ozone molecules, but remain active for several years continuing their destruction. So if more CFCs will be produced in the world more CFCs will be carried to Antarctica by the polar winds and more depletion and the rate of depletion will exceed the rate of formation of ozone molecules resulting in the expansion of ozone hole over Antarctica.
