According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 80% of COVID-19 patients require oxygen therapy, and some countries have reported shortages of oxygen in their hospitals during the pandemic. The WHO has called for increased investment in oxygen supply systems to ensure that hospitals have sufficient oxygen supplies to meet future demands.
The global industrial gases market is a rapidly growing industry that provides a variety of gases, including oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide, for use in various industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, energy, and chemicals. These gases are used for a wide range of applications, such as welding and cutting, food processing, medical treatment, and refrigeration.
The healthcare and pharmaceuticals industry and the industrial gases market are two distinct industries with their own unique characteristics and market dynamics. The major players in the global industrial gases market, like Air Liquide, Linde plc, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., Messer Group GmbH are investing heavily in research and development activities to develop new applications for industrial gases and expand their product portfolio to meet the growing demand from various end-use industries. All these factors are expected to increase the demand of global industrial gases worldwide in the forecasted period.
Growing Demand from Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals are Driving the Market Growth
Rising Demand from the Chemical and Petrochemical Industries are Market Driving Factors
Approximately 14.8 million metric tons of nitrogen gas and 9.2 million metric tons of oxygen gas were produced in the United States in 2020.
Favorable Government Policies as a Key Supporting Factor for the Industrial Gases Market Growth
Government policies on industrial gases vary by country and region, but its main aim is to ensure the safe handling, transportation, storage, and use of industrial gases while also minimizing their impact on the environment and public health. Governments may offer subsidies or tax incentives to promote the production and use of industrial gases that either have environmental benefits or support specific industries. For example, the US government offers tax credits for the production and use of hydrogen fuel cells, which are powered by hydrogen gas. These factors led to the increase in the production and demand of the industrial gases, globally, in the upcoming period.
