Global Industrial Gas Market Overview
The global Industrial Gas was valued at USD 100 BN in 2019 and is expected to grow with a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. By volume, the market is expected to reach 55,000 KT by 2026, with a CAGR of XX% between 2020 and 2026. The market is mainly driven by rising urbanization and rapid industrialization. The growing application of Industrial Gas in diverse industries such as metal and mining, healthcare, chemical, and food and beverages is further likely to positively influence the market in the upcoming year. Industrial gas plays a vital role in the contribution of the world economy’s progress. However, the regulation regarding environment and safety and huge gas conversion costs may impede the global industrial gas growth over the forecast period.
These gases are produced from cryogenic filtration of air with the help of the air separation unit. These gases are also categorized into fuel gases, medical gases, and specialty gases, depending on their application in different industries. Oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide are the most common gases used as Industrial Gas. The consumption of nitrogen gas has augmented faster than oxygen gas. Argon has also boosted the pace and can be expected to replace oxygen in terms of utilities. In addition to this, the rise in crude oil demand and the need for refining it will offer substantial growth opportunities to the market, further boosting the demand for Industrial Gas.
Worldwide, industrial production has been increasing and is predicted to maintain growth over the forecast period. Further, the rising deployment of cryogenic processes for air separation in industries and the increasing usage of gaseous mixes are the key trends driving the market demand for Industrial Gas.
The market is highly concentrated due to the presence of well-established globally, that account majority of share in 2019.
