India Acetylene Market

India Acetylene Market Overview:

The India acetylene market size reached USD 387.10 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 627.30 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.51% during 2025-2033. The rising demand in metal fabrication, expanding chemical manufacturing, increasing adoption in the automotive and aerospace industries, advancements in gas production technologies, and government initiatives promoting industrialization are boosting market expansion.

India Acetylene Market Trends: 

Expansion of the Metal Fabrication Industry

The metal fabrication sector in India is experiencing substantial growth, significantly boosting the demand for acetylene, primarily used in welding and cutting applications. Acetylene's high flame temperature, approximately 3,200°C, makes it ideal for precision welding tasks in industries such as construction, automotive, and shipbuilding. Government initiatives like the "Make in India" campaign and the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), which aims to invest over ₹111 lakh crore (approximately USD 1.5 trillion) by 2025, are driving infrastructure development. This surge in construction activities necessitates extensive metal fabrication, thereby increasing acetylene consumption. Moreover, India's automotive industry is expanding rapidly, with the country producing over 4.5 million vehicles in 2023, marking a 7% increase from the previous year. The manufacturing processes for these vehicles require significant metal fabrication, relying heavily on acetylene for welding and cutting operations, which is propelling the market forward.

Advancements in Acetylene Production Technologies

Technological advancements in acetylene production improve efficiency, safety, and environmental compliance, making it more accessible and desirable to a wide range of sectors. The development of highly efficient acetylene manufacturing processes has decreased operational costs while improving safety, making acetylene more accessible to small and medium-sized businesses. Furthermore, as environmental restrictions become more stringent, the acetylene market places a greater premium on sustainable manufacturing processes. Companies are investing in green solutions that use renewable resources or seek to minimize carbon emissions from acetylene manufacturing. For instance, Denka partnered with Transform Materials LLC in June 2023 to establish a low-carbon acetylene supply chain. The company will install acetylene and hydrogen production equipment at its Omuta Plant in Japan, aiming to reduce CO₂ emissions and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The agreement aims to attain a "three-star business" with specialty, megatrends, and sustainability under its eight-year management plan, Mission 2030. These developments in production technology not only make acetylene more cost-effective but also correspond with global environmental trends, resulting in growing usage across numerous industrial applications in India.
