Industrial gases are gaseous materials intended to be used across various end-user applications such as food packaging, brazing, mining, welding, drug manufacturing, etc. Oxygen, nitrogen, argon, helium, and hydrogen are some of the commonly used industrial gases. Oxygen gas is used in the brazing, cutting, and welding of metal products. Nitrogen has numerous applications such as food packaging, light bulb production, and drug production. Hydrogen gas is used in treating metals, refining, and food processing. Moreover, nitrogen gas is also used to produce ammonia for the manufacturing of fertilizers.
Gcc Industrial Gases Market is estimated to account for around US$ 1,265.8 million in terms of value in the year 2022 and it is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
Driver
The growing chemical industry due to the increasing production of chemical products in the GCC region is projected to augment the market growth of industrial gases. Industrial gases have a wide range of applications across the chemical industry. The GCC region has emerged as a major hub for the chemical sector and is projected to grow in the upcoming years. This is expected to accelerate market growth over the forecast period.
Opportunity
The rising application of industrial gases in environmental protection in the GCC region is projected to accelerate market growth. Oxygen gas is used in the biological treatment of wastewater, and carbon dioxide is used for the removal of paint from the surface. Thus, emerging such applications of industrial gases is expected to foster market growth over the forecast timeframe.
Restraint
The safe transportation of industrial gases is not viable for long distances and the cost of transportation is also very high. This is expected to hamper market growth over the forecast period. High-pressure cylinders and liquid tanks have safety issues and require proper handling during transportation, which is another major factor hindering market growth.
