The global market for industrial gases expanded by nearly eight percent in the year 2011 and in spite of the challenging economic environment amid the debt crisis in Europe, demand for industrial gases continued to remain modestly driven by increased investments in infrastructure development and petroleum reserves in emerging markets.
Traditionally, the sector is known to be surging ahead regardless of economic factors, owing to the evolving multiplicity of new applications both in conventional and novel domains. Asia-Pacific accounted for almost 40% of the global industrial gases market value.
The industry is expected to gain momentum post 2012, following anticipated turnaround in economic situation, increased production and inventory levels and greater demand as consumer confidence stabilizes. Over the longer term, annual growth rate in the industrial gas market is expected to significantly exceed the rate of industrial production driven by multitude of factors including opening of new startups, rapid industrialization of emerging economies, increasing demand for energy, environment regulations, improving healthcare sector, and advancements in industrial technology.
Biggest players in the industry are Linde AG, Praxair Inc., Air Liquide AG and Air Products and Chemicals Inc. amongst others. Metal fabrication and production sector is expected to remain the second major sector for industrial gases, next to petroleum refining.
Growth in this sector primarily stems from increased utilization of electric arc furnaces, enhanced demand for products manufactured using stainless steel and other advanced production methods requiring greater usage of industrial gases. On the other hand, growth in electronics sector and rising demand for ICs and semiconductors is forecast to drive the consumption of bulk gases.
In recent years there has been significant development in the high technology markets including semiconductor, flat panel display, solar panels and photovoltaic cells which continues to drive the demand for high purity industrial gases. Further demand is expected to emanate from development of other alternate energy sources such as hydrogen fuel cell technology which is being pursued to replace fossil fuels for automobiles and electricity generation.
