U.S. Industrial Gases Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. industrial gases market is estimated to reach USD 39.38 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc, projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2024 to 2030. This growth has been attributed to and increasing application of these gases in various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, food & beverages, and metallurgy, are expected to influence the growth of the market for U.S. industries gases in the coming years.

In the U.S. market, oxygen is widely used in steel and copper production, medical applications, and fuel efficiency improvement programs. The execution of the oxygenation process in furnaces can result in efficient energy generation that is required in steel, cement, and copper production. Oxygen can also be used for cleaning hazardous materials and treating polluted water. It is used in coal gasification systems as well. Additionally, it can be employed as an alternative to chlorine in the pulp & paper industry to reduce pollution.

The demand for industrial gases is surging in the electronics industry in the U.S. owing to their use in printed electronics, semiconductors, and flat-panel displays. This industry uses industrial gases such as sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), and silane (SiH4) to develop cutting-edge components such as silicon wafers and integrated circuits, flat-panel displays, and compound semiconductors. Industrial gases are required in the electronics industry to carry out innovations and new product developments.

Nitrogen and argon gases are used in the production of plasma screens, while helium is employed for the development of hard disk drives. Additionally, industrial gases are used to cool electronic systems during manufacturing processes, particularly the ones that are used for producing high-performance microprocessors. Thus, the availability and effective use of industrial gases have significantly impacted the electronics industry by improving efficiency, quality, and output.

The development of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies creates opportunities for the growth of the industrial gas market as these technologies require carbon dioxide for use in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. They are also used for sequestering carbon dioxide from geological formations.

The industrial gas market in the U.S. is not only competitive but highly consolidated as well. The leading players operating in the market are Air Liquide, Messer North America, and Linde Plc & Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. These companies account for a large share of the industrial gas market in the U.S. They have a large customer base globally. Moreover, these large manufacturers cater to the industrial gas requirements of almost every end-use industry owing to their broad product portfolios.
