Industrial Gases Market to Record CAGR of 5.86% Over 2025-2032; Increasing Demand for Hydrogen to Support Market Growth

August 01, 2025 | Energy & Power

The global industrial gases market size was valued at USD 109.36 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 115.47 billion in 2025. The market is anticipated to touch USD 172.00 billion, recording a CAGR of 5.86% over 2025-2032.

Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in its latest report titled Industrial Gases Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Gas Type (Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen, Argon, and Others), By Application (Packaging, Coolant, Carbonation, Cryogenic, Cutting & Welding, Laboratory, Air Separation, and Others), By End-User (Metallurgy, Healthcare, Chemical, Food and beverage, Oil & Gas, Power, Pulp and Paper,

Electronics, Water Treatment, Mining, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032”.

Industrial gases are essential in a variety of applications, including welding, metal cutting, and process optimization. The demand for gases such as oxygen and nitrogen is increasing in the healthcare sector, where they are used for respiratory support, medical imaging, and sterilization processes. Additionally, the rapid growth of electronics and semiconductor manufacturing has boosted the need for high-purity gases such as nitrogen, hydrogen, and specialty gases, which are used in processes such as etching and circuit board production.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant effect on the global market, disrupting supply chains, production, and demand across various industries. Demand varied by sector, for instance, healthcare experienced an increase in demand, while the manufacturing and oil and gas industries witnessed a decline.

Messer Intends to Construct a Green Hydrogen Production Facility at the Brainergy Park Jülich

In July 2024, Messer intends to construct a green hydrogen production facility at the Brainergy Park Jülich, which is an industrial estate shared by multiple municipalities. This business park is designed to foster projects connected to "new energies" and the "energy transition." The hydrogen facility will be managed by HyDN GmbH, a collaborative venture formed by the district of Düren and Messer.

Increasing Demand for Hydrogen to Support Market Growth

Hydrogen is a clean energy source that generates zero carbon emissions when used as fuel. Its adoption is increasing in high-emission industries such as transportation and manufacturing, helping to reduce carbon footprints without requiring major infrastructure changes. The rise of green hydrogen, produced via electrolysis using renewable energy, is supported by significant investments from governments and companies, driving growth in the industrial gases market.

However, these gases are required to adhere to rigorous purity standards, necessitating the use of specialized equipment and quality assurance processes, which increases production costs and is anticipated to impede the industrial gases market growth.
