As per the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Liquid Nitrogen Market Report by Technology (Cryogenic Distillation, Pressure Swing Adsorption, and Others), Function (Coolant, Refrigerant), Storage Type (Cylinders and Packaged Gas, Merchant Liquid/Bulk, Tonnage, and Others), End User (Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals, Food and Beverage, Healthcare, Metal Manufacturing and Construction, Rubber and Plastic, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” the global liquid nitrogen market size reached USD 20.4 Billion in 2024. Liquid nitrogen (LN) is an odorless, non-flammable, colorless, and non-corrosive cryogenic liquid that is used to cause rapid freezing. It is produced in air separation and liquefaction plants by compressing and cooling nitrogen gas below its evaporation point of − 196 °C (− 320 °F). Liquid nitrogen assists in the rapid cooling and temporary shrinking of mechanical gears and components during machine assembly, resulting in better intrusion fits. It is also used for cryopreservation of biological samples, such as sperm, eggs, animal genetic samples, and cryotherapy to remove skin abnormalities. Moreover, liquid nitrogen is utilized to freeze food and beverages and create an aesthetic cloud of vapor over dishes in fine-dine restaurants, cafes and hotels.
Global Liquid Nitrogen Market Trends:
The market is primarily driven by the escalating demand for cryogenic liquids for metal fabrication, and manufacturing of electronics, healthcare, automotive and lighting systems. This can be attributed to the rising usage of LN as a coolant during the grinding process to prevent additional heat generation, resulting in minimal corrosion and high-quality, uniformly sized ice particles. Moreover, the market is favored by the increasing adoption of LN as an organic additive to develop generics, therapeutic medicines, and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Besides this, the growing food and beverage industry is also contributing to the market growth as LN is used to freeze bakery products, meat, poultry, fish, prepared meals, vegetables, and fruits while retaining their original color, scent, and flavor. Furthermore, the emergence of innovative LN-compatible automobile engines is anticipated to propel the market growth. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach USD 32.0 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 4.89% during 2025-2033.
