Ozone needs constant sunlight to replenish itself, especially now when it is being destroyed by CFCs which will remain in the atmosphere for at least another 50 years, even after we stop releasing them.

The North and South Poles have six months of darkness, so during that time no ozone is produced. The South Pole is much colder than the North Pole and the frozen clouds also help to release the chlorine from the CFCs. This is why the ozone hole is largest at the South Pole, the Antarctic.
