Air Separation Plant Market by Gas (Argon, Nitrogen, Oxygen), Process (Cryogenic Air Separation Process, Non-Cryogenic Air Separation Process), End-User Industry - Global Forecast 2024-2030


The Air Separation Plant Market size was estimated at USD 5.27 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 5.64 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.11% to reach USD 8.53 billion by 2030.

An air separation plant (ASP) is a facility that separates atmospheric air into its components, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, along with other trace gases. This separation is achieved through a cryogenic distillation process, which takes advantage of the varying boiling points of gases. ASPs play a vital role in various industries, including chemical manufacturing, healthcare, and electronics, where the separated gases are used for a wide range of applications, such as industrial processes, medical oxygen supply, and welding. Increasing focus on cleaner energy sources, such as hydrogen and natural gas, is expanding the usage of ASP. The growing industrial sector and various manufacturing processes with rising demand for industrial gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and argon is elevating the demand for ASPs. The growing advancements in medical treatments are increasing the demand for medical-grade oxygen, subsequently creating a platform for the air separation plant. High investment and operation costs associated with the installation of an air separation plant hamper market growth. Ongoing advancements in ASP technologies, such as improved energy efficiency, compact designs, and optimized processes by market vendors, are expected to create opportunities for the growth of the market.
