Dublin, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Specialty Gases Market Report 2024” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The specialty gases market size has grown strongly in recent years, from $11.74 billion in 2023 to $12.77 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, the increasing demand for high-purity gases, the expanding healthcare industry, the rising need for gas-phase engraving, the growing requirements in the chemical industry, and the escalating demand in electronics manufacturing.
The specialty gases market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.99 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, increasing demand in the pharmaceuticals industry, a growing need for semiconductors and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), a heightened focus on safety and quality, rapid industrialization and economic development, and rising demand in the automotive industry.
Key trends during this period include technological advancements, the adoption of sustainable manufacturing processes, innovations in purification technologies, advances in blending technologies, and the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart monitoring.
The increasing demand for semiconductors is expected to drive the growth of the specialty gases market. Semiconductors, which have electrical conductivity between that of conductors (like copper or aluminum) and insulators (such as rubber or glass), are increasingly needed due to the rising demand for more powerful and efficient electronic devices. These devices support advancements in connectivity, automation, and data processing. Specialty gases play a crucial role in semiconductor fabrication by enhancing yield, quality, and efficiency, meeting the industry’s stringent requirements for precision, purity, and reliability. For example, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association, global semiconductor industry sales reached $526.8 billion in December 2023 and are projected to grow by 13.1% in the second quarter of 2024. Thus, the growing need for semiconductors is fueling the expansion of the specialty gases market.
Leading companies in the specialty gases market are developing advanced production modules to improve efficiency, ensure accurate gas mixture formulations, and meet the stringent quality and purity standards demanded by various industries. These new modules offer comprehensive visibility into production progress and real-time insights for proactive management, enhancing efficiency and safety. For instance, in May 2024, Computers Unlimited, a US-based software company, introduced an advanced specialty gas production module for its TIMS software platform. This new module is designed to revolutionize the production and management of custom specialty gases in the industrial gas sector.
In September 2023, Air Water America Inc., a US-based provider of industrial gases and related services, acquired American Gas Products LLC for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to expand Air Water America’s helium operations and supply capabilities. American Gas Products LLC, a US-based company, manufactures and supplies specialty gases.
