预计到 2025 年,工业气体市场规模将达到 17.4 亿吨,到 2030 年将达到 21.6 亿吨,预测期(2025-2030 年)复合年增长率为 4.17%。

钢铁、半导体和化学製造商的强劲需求支撑了这一增长,而围绕绿色氢气、高纯度氧气和食品级二氧化碳的产品创新则优先考虑价值创造而非产量扩张。生产商正在加强现场供应模式以降低物流风险,大型能源用户则签署了长达数十年的供应合约以锁定电力成本。半导体製造的区域化正将高纯度氮气和氩气的供应转移到美国和欧洲,但亚洲仍保持整体供应量的主导。同时,氦气捕集计划、碳捕集计画以及小型空气分离装置正吸引来自成熟企业和基础设施投资者的全新资本。
亚洲製造业的强劲扩张,尤其是在中国和印度,正在推动氧气和氮气等大宗气体的基本负载需求。光是印度西部就集中了众多钢铁厂、石化产业丛集和化肥联合企业,这些企业支撑着该地区的空气分离能力。地方政府正在推行「印度製造」激励政策,鼓励投资于使用高纯度氮气和氩气的电子组装、太阳能电池生产和电动车供应链。从大都会到待开发区炼油厂等配套计划,正在形成分散的需求区域,有利于包装和微散装气体的分销。美国能源资讯署预测,到2050年,亚洲的天然气消费量将成长两倍,其中80%的成长将来自工业气体,这反映了製程气体的规模。
脱碳目标正在加速低碳氢化合物的普及应用,促使化学、钢铁和重型运输企业签订长期供应协议。空气产品公司与ACWA Power和NEOM合作,正在沙乌地阿拉伯开发一座价值85亿美元的可再生能源电解工厂,该工厂每年将供应65万吨绿色氨原料。类似的协议也在欧盟、澳洲和美国进行中,计画年产量总合达110万吨。这些计划将提升对氮气(惰性)和氧气(作为产品)等伴生气的需求,减少卡车运输的排放和功率损耗,并巩固现场发电作为首选供应模式的地位。
全球氦气预算紧张持续影响核磁共振造影系统的运作、半导体製造和航太惰性。位于德克萨斯州的克利夫赛德氦气系统(Cliffside Helium System)是一个策略性储气设施,目前仍处于破产管理状态,但仍维持对关键用户的最低配额。昆腾科技公司(Quantum Technologies)在加拿大西部运作了40年来首个新的氦气精炼厂,增加了一个规模虽小但至关重要的区域冗余。然而,氦气价格在2024年下半年飙升,对采购预算造成压力,并促使终端用户投资建造氦气捕集、纯化和回收装置。这种价格波动导致待开发区建厂的资本支出规划较为谨慎,并预示着短期内整体消费成长将受到抑制。
2024年,氧气将继续占据工业气体市场32%的主导地位,并随着钢铁製造商向直接还原铁(DRI)炉过渡以及医院扩大高流量通风能力,其销量增长速度将继续超过整体增速。 2024年,林德集团和液化空气集团将运作超过20套专门用于医用氧气的真空变压式吸附装置,反映了疫情后的基准需求。同时,名古屋大学的研究表明,一种吸附分解膜能够以更低的能耗从氩气中分离氧气,这预示着未来在超高纯度应用领域有望降低成本。
氮气需求主要来自半导体惰性、雷射切割以及高端食品生产线的调气包装。该领域受益于多种供应形式的均衡组合,包括用于金属加工厂的包装气瓶、用于电子无尘室的液态氮气以及冷库中心的现场氮气产生器。由于乙醇工厂原料供应中断,预计2024年二氧化碳排放将有所下降;同时,啤酒厂的内部回收缓解了饮料生产商的供不应求。
工业气体市场报告按产品类型(氮气、氧气、二氧化碳及其他)、供应形式(包装/钢瓶、散装液体及其他)、终端用户行业(化学加工与精炼、电子与半导体及其他)以及地区(亚太地区、北美、欧洲、南美、中东和非洲)进行细分。市场预测以吨为单位。
亚洲将在工业气体市场占据主导地位,预计2024年将占全球市场份额的43%,这主要得益于其强大的石化、黑色冶金和电子产业丛集。中国一体化的钢铁生产能力和印度强劲的基础设施投资,使得去年新增空分装置(ASU)产能超过600吨/日。区域各国政府正在推进碳捕集试点计画和绿色氢气出口走廊,以使工业气体流动与净零排放蓝图保持一致。在竞争格局中,全球大型企业与本土企业成立合资企业,在维持世界一流工程标准的同时,实现生产在地化。
北美市场占据重要地位,拥有成熟的管道系统为墨西哥湾沿岸炼油厂供气,以及覆盖中西部和东北部的灵活分销网络。预计2012年至2022年间,美国炼油厂的氢气采购量将成长29%,标誌着计划正逐步从自产重整装置转向外部供应。持续的清洁能源项目通膨抑制奖励正在推动低碳氨、永续航空燃料和二氧化碳封存计画的发展,这些计画都需要专门的工业气体投入。加拿大正在崛起为氦气枢纽,为长期以来由美国土地管理局储存系统主导的市场提供补充。
欧洲仍然是增值中心,专注于发展绿色氢能走廊和食品级碳捕获技术。像液化空气集团和林德集团这样的公司正在将可再生能源购电协议与固体电解质燃料电池相结合,以帮助海运和远距货运实现脱碳。更严格的氟化气体法规和甲烷阈值正引导製冷设备製造商转向天然冷媒,进一步丰富其在该地区的冷媒组合。
The Industrial Gas Market size is estimated at 1.74 billion tons in 2025, and is expected to reach 2.16 billion tons by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.17% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Healthy demand from steel, semiconductor, and chemical producers underpins this growth, while product innovation around green-hydrogen, high-purity oxygen, and food-grade carbon dioxide keeps value creation ahead of volume expansion. Producers are reinforcing on-site supply models to reduce logistics exposure, and large energy users are signing multi-decade supply contracts that lock in power costs. Regionalization of semiconductor fabrication is shifting high-purity nitrogen and argon flows toward the United States and Europe, even as Asia retains overall volume leadership. At the same time, helium recovery projects, carbon capture ventures, and small-footprint air-separation units are attracting fresh capital from both incumbents and infrastructure investors.
Robust manufacturing expansion across Asia, especially in China and India, is lifting base-load demand for volume gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. Western India alone houses a large concentration of steel mills, petrochemical clusters, and fertilizer complexes that collectively anchor localized air-separation capacity. Regional authorities are pressing ahead with Make-in-India incentives, encouraging investment in electronics assembly, solar-cell production, and electric-vehicle supply chains that use high-purity nitrogen and argon. Parallel infrastructure projects-from metro rail to greenfield refineries-are extending distributed demand pockets that favor packaged and microbulk deliveries. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects Asian natural-gas consumption will triple by 2050, with 80% channelled into industry, a proxy for the scale of process-gas requirements.
Decarbonization targets are accelerating the adoption of low-carbon hydrogen, prompting chemical, steel, and heavy-transport operators to lock in long-term supply agreements. In partnership with ACWA Power and NEOM, Air Products is developing a USD 8.5 billion renewable-powered electrolysis plant in Saudi Arabia that will supply 650,000 t/y of green ammonia feedstock. Similar contracts across the European Union, Australia, and the United States are under construction, collectively exceeding 1.1 million t/y of planned output. These projects boost demand for associated gases such as nitrogen (for inerting) and oxygen (as a by-product), and they reinforce on-site generation as the preferred delivery model, reducing trucking emissions and power losses.
Tight global helium balances continue to disrupt MRI equipment uptime, semiconductor fabrication, and aerospace inerting. The Cliffside Helium System in Texas, a strategic storage complex, remains under receivership yet sustains a minimum allocation for critical users. Quantum Technology Corp. started Western Canada's first new helium refinery in four decades, adding small but important regional redundancy. Nonetheless, helium prices rose sharply in late 2024, pressuring procurement budgets and encouraging end-users to invest in recovery, purification, and recycling skids. This volatility underpins cautious CAPEX planning for greenfield fabs and acts as a near-term drag on overall consumption growth.

Oxygen retained a commanding 32% share of the industrial gases market size in 2024 and continues to outpace overall volume growth as steelmakers migrate to DRI furnaces and hospitals expand high-flow ventilator capacity. During 2024, Linde and Air Liquide commissioned more than 20 vacuum pressure swing adsorption units dedicated to medical oxygen, reflecting post-pandemic baseline demand. In parallel, research at Nagoya University demonstrated an adsorptive-dissolution membrane capable of separating oxygen from argon at lower energy intensity, pointing toward future cost savings in ultra-high-purity applications.
Nitrogen is driven by semiconductor inerting, laser-cutting, and modified-atmosphere packaging for premium food lines. The segment benefits from a balanced mix of delivery modes: packaged cylinders for metal-fabrication shops, merchant liquid for electronics clean rooms, and on-site generators at cold-storage hubs. Carbon dioxide volume slipped in 2024 because of feedstock disruptions at ethanol plants; however, in-house capture at breweries cushioned beverage producers against outright shortages.
The Industrial Gases Market Report is Segmented by Product Type (Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and More), Mode of Supply (Packaged/Cylinder, Merchant Bulk Liquid, and More), End-User Industry (Chemical Processing and Refining, Electronics and Semiconductor, and More), and Geography (Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, South America, and Middle East and Africa). The Market Forecasts are Provided in Terms of Volume (tons).
Asia accounted for a dominant 43% share of the industrial gases market size in 2024, driven by strong petrochemical, ferrous metallurgy, and electronics clusters. China's integrated steel capacity and India's robust infrastructure spending jointly supported more than 600 t/d of new ASU capacity additions last year. Regional governments are promoting carbon capture pilots and green-hydrogen export corridors, aligning industrial gas flows with net-zero roadmaps. The competitive terrain features joint ventures between global majors and domestic firms that localize production while retaining world-scale engineering standards.
North America, characterized by mature pipelines supplying Gulf Coast refineries and adaptable merchant-liquid networks serving the Midwest and Northeast, demonstrates significant volume in the market. Purchases of hydrogen by U.S. refiners rose 29% between 2012 and 2022, illustrating a gradual shift from captive reformers to outsourced supply. Ongoing inflation-reduction incentives for clean-energy projects are catalyzing low-carbon ammonia, sustainable aviation fuel, and CO2 sequestration ventures, each requiring dedicated industrial gas inputs. Canada is emerging as a niche helium hub, adding redundancy to a market long dominated by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's storage system.
Europe remains a value-added epicenter, focusing on green-hydrogen corridors and food-grade carbon capture. Air Liquide, Linde, and others are synchronizing renewable power purchase agreements with proton-exchange membrane electrolyzers to support maritime shipping and long-haul trucking decarbonization. Stricter F-gas regulation and methane thresholds are nudging refrigeration OEMs toward natural refrigerants, further diversifying gas portfolios in the region.
