Industrial Gases Market
Growth Factors of Industrial Gases Market
The industrial gases market size was valued at USD 99.97 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 105.82 billion in 2024 to USD 255.51 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.65% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.
Disruptions in the industrial gases market growth were seen as the COVID-19 pandemic forced many businesses to postpone or down-scale their operations restrictions in activities, affecting the whole market and affecting investment in gases in the year 2020. The outbreak also considerably impacted crude oil demand pulling down prices to lower rates. Challenges affected functionality and performance within industries and firms. Recovery has not advances much because of volatility that is still observed in the current markets.
An increase in the consumption of industrial gases from the food & beverages industries along with healthcare industries is contributing towards the industrial gases market share. Europe is a significant food producer and exporter, particularly Germany where the food processing exports amounted to USD 84.31 billion in 2018. This is set to rise in future thus raising the demand for gas in the industry. Another sector with rapid growth is the digital health provision. Healthcare services are rapidly developing and they recorded revenue of USD 6.5 billion in 2017. This amount represents a 109% change from the previous year.
However, the increase in global demand for crude oil and refining is leading to increased industrial gas usage within the oil & gas sector. These gases are used for processes such as drilling, well lifting, pipe inerting and subsea among others. They are also used in the implementation, maintenance, firefighting and analysis of gases. Increasing industrial growth due to the oil & gas industry will lead to higher demand for industrial gases which in turn will drive the market.
Comprehensive Analysis of Industrial Gases Market
The industrial gases market and power & energy industry are growing rapidly at an exponential rate because of their market segmentation. It thus serves to offer fundamental regional analyses based on the supply-demand dynamics affecting the oil & gas business. These segmentations are systematically divided by gas type, by applications and by end-users. The gas types include, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen, Argon and Others. The applications include, Packaging, Coolant, Carbonation, Cryogenic, Cutting & Welding, Laboratory, Air Separation and Others. The end-users include, Metallurgy, Healthcare, Chemical, Food and Beverages, Oil & Gas, Power, Pulp and Paper, Electronics, Water Treatment, Mining and Others.
The global market is expected to undergo growth in the Asia Pacific due to the rising urban population as well as the industrialization process that has made gases useful in the end-user industries including metallurgical, health, food processing, oil & gas, and power sectors. Some of the prospective investing areas include sustainable energy development which potential countries include China, India, Japan and Indonesia, among others. Several companies are also investing in these countries because these countries possess an extensive consumer base.
The top market players have a critical role in the power & energy industry to give confidence to industrial prospectus growth and maintain market standards. These players include, Air Liquide (France), Air Products (United States), Linde (Ireland), Matheson Tri-Gas (United States), Messer Group (Germany), Gulf Cryo (Kuwait), BASF (United States), Southern Company Gas (United States), Universal Industrial Gases (United States), Ellenbarrie Industrial Gases Ltd (India), Bhuruka Gases Ltd (India), Concorde-Corodex Group (UAE), Dubai Industrial Gases (UAE), and Bristol Gases (UAE). These market players ensure that there is a competitive environment.
In January 2024, Linde announced the establishment of a new 1,000-ton/day ASU at the Rourkela steel plant of SAIL located in Odisha, India, which will more than double its current capacity. The financial backing of about USD 60 million will be used to provide oxygen, nitrogen and argon through the plant air network as the expansion of SAIL's steel mill will require increased capacities for these gases. It is planned to have the energy-efficient ASU running by 2026. It will also function for Linde's local commercial customers in the area. This small capacity is the first of many steps Linde has taken in the direction of offering a reliable source of industrial gases in the eastern Indian market.
