Key Market Trends

Increasing Demand from the Healthcare Sector for Medical Applications

  • The growth in advancement of technology in the healthcare industry gives rise to the demand for production of industrial gases, which, in turn, acts as a driving point for the industrial gases market.
  • For example, the development of gas-assist equipment suppliers in the medical industry offers an assortment of equipment and controls, yet the fundamental procedure is comparative in all variations.
  • Changes in pressure and stream control predominantly empower organized control of process variables.
  • In the medical industry, bulk oxygen is required in many cases to minimize the risk of excess oxygen in the lungs or body tissue during surgeries, and for providing artificial ventilation. Nitrogen is utilized in pre-flight lung diagnosis, to calculate a person’s ability to respond to simulated aircraft cabin environment. Carbon dioxide can be used at the time of insufflation, and can be infused with oxygen for stimulation of the respiratory simulation.
  • This way, the application of technology in healthcare, using gases, has been increasing rapidly in the recent times.



Asia-Pacific Dominated the Industrial Gas Market

  • Asia-Pacific was the largest market for industrial gases.
  • China accounted for a major chunk of the consumption in the region. However, India is expected to witness the fastest growth in the region.
  • The development of the industrial gas industry can effectively gauge on the premise of projections of the steel and other metallurgical industries. Metallurgy and manufacture will continue to be the biggest business sectors for industrial gasses.
  • India is the third largest producer of iron and steel in Asia-Pacific, and the production is increasing at a rapid pace y-o-y.
  • Growing demand for iron and steel from various industries and the up-coming steel ventures, coupled with the government initiatives to boost the manufacturing sector, are expected to boost the usage of mechanical gas creation units to address the mass prerequisites for modern gasses, which, in turn, will drive the industrial gas market in the country.
