Healthcare and electronics, are major growth drivers for the industrial gas market, whereas the demands from the oil and gas, steel sector tend to be flat. Revival in economic activity and stabilizing oil and natural gas prices are driving the industrial gas market growth. However, the manufacturing sector is witnessing flat growth resulting in lower sales volume for larger players in Americas and Europe.

Different end-user industries of industrial gases have varied requirements in terms of volume, frequency of use and purity levels and hence, industrial gas companies are offering structured solutions to meet demands of different end-user industries. The Chemical and Petrochemical and Automobile industries are the two largest end-user segments for the industrial gas market, accounting for a market share of 22 percent each, followed by Metal Production and Fabrication for 21 percent.

Key Findings:

• Industrial gas production is capital intensive process and requires high upfront cost. The existing players also have robust distribution networks where the new players would have to invest in.
• Regulations for cleaner energy fuel and innovations in renewable space are driving the demand for hydrogen and on-site hydrogen market.
• The industrial gas market is consolidated with the top five players dominating around 80 percent of the global market share. The top players are looking to strengthen their position through mergers and acquisitions.
• Industrial gas companies price gases differently across different delivery types based on unit cost variations and local supply-demand scenario.  The cost variation across delivery types is greater depending upon the distance of the service location.
• The typical contract period varies based on the type of delivery mode, with a 15+ year contract for tonnage, 3-5 years for bulk and less than 1 year for cylinder.

The research methodology adopted for the report included:·

Electricity cost accounts for around 50 percent of the cost of generation and hence cost of production fluctuates with electricity prices. Recovery in crude oil prices are likely to exert upward pressure on distribution cost. Large scale operation provides lower production cost per unit of gas as compared to small independent Air Separation Units (ASUs) for producing industrial gases separately, especially for bulk purchases.
