Oxygen & Hydrogen Gas Manufacturing in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

Oxygen & Hydrogen Gas Manufacturing in Canada

The oxygen and hydrogen gas manufacturing industry in Canada produces industrial gases that are key inputs for various markets, ranging from chemical manufacturing and oil refining to beverage production and medical research. Although the industry manufactures hundreds of unique gases, these products can be categorized into three well-defined product segments: air-separated, process and specialty gases. Industrial gases are used by a broad range of markets and customers, so demand for industry goods is dependent on Canada's overall economic performance, industrial output levels and consumer spending.

This industry manufactures the following industrial gas products: carbon dioxide (dry ice); air-separated gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen and argon; steam-reformed gases, such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide and helium; and specialty gases, such as refrigerants and propellants. Gases are then supplied to customers via on-site air production plants, pipelines, rail or compressed cylinders. This industry does not include the production of natural gas-based fuels such as methane or propane.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares."
