The global industrial gases market was worth US$ 75 Billion in 2018. Industrial gases refer to the gases produced in large quantities for usage in industrial processes. Depending on their uses in different sectors, these gases are also known as fuel, medical, refrigerant or specialty gases. Some of the industrial gases, such as oxygen and helium, provide a base for life support for artificially ventilated patients and for all the modern anesthetic techniques to advance medical care. For example, hydrogen is used in the transportation industry and oxygen in gasification plants, hospitals and steel manufacturing plants. In addition, liquid helium is utilized in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment to cool down superconductive magnet coil scanners.
In recent years, technological innovations in the usage of various industrial gases have bolstered the growth of the market. For instance, liquid oxygen and hydrogen are being used in propellants to launch rockets that carry broadcast, communications and meteorological satellites into space. Apart from this, the leading companies are investing in research and development activities (R&D) to develop new and improved methods to produce and distribute industrial gases across the globe. This is expected to escalate the sales of these gases in the upcoming years. Moreover, several international non-profit organizations, such as the European Industrial Gases Association, provide authorities with expert advice on the production, transport, storage and utilization of industrial gases. They also promote consistency of safety, health, environmental and technical standards throughout the industrial gas industry. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach US$ 111 Billion by 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.6% during 2019-2024.
