Asia Pacific Industrial Gases Market By Type (Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Others), By End-User Industry (Metallurgy, Welding, Medical, Chemical & Petrochemical, Food & Beverage, Others), By Distribution (On-site, Bulk, Cylinder, Other), By Country, Forecast and Opportunities, 2028

Asia Pacific Industrial Gases Market is anticipated to grow appreciably in forecast period of 2024- 2028 due to the increasing demand for hydrogen in wide range of applications, including fuel cells, transportation, and industrial processes. Approximately 58.3% of global construction sector are accounted by China, India, US, and Indonesia, where China alone holds the 26.1% of global growth.

The Asia Pacific Industrial Gases Market is a rapidly growing market that includes the production and distribution of gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and others. The region is home to some of the world's largest industrial gas companies and has seen significant growth in recent years due to several key drivers such as demand for healthcare services and favorable government policies.

Asia Pacific Industrial Gases Market is the region where manufacturing sector is expanding at high pace. Many countries in the region, such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea, have seen significant growth in their manufacturing industries over the past decade, driven by increasing demand for goods and services both domestically and internationally. Industrial gases are essential in the manufacturing process of many products, including electronics, chemicals, and metals, making the growth of the manufacturing sector a key driver of the industrial gases market in the region.

The Asia Pacific Industrial Gases Market is being driven by the region's increasing focus on renewable energy sources. With countries in the region increasingly looking to reduce their carbon footprint, there is a growing demand for industrial gases such as hydrogen, which can be used as a clean energy source. Hydrogen can be used to power fuel cells, which are being increasingly used in the automotive industry as a clean alternative to traditional gasoline-powered engines. As companies in the industry continue to invest in research and development and expand their operations in the region, the market is likely to remain highly competitive and dynamic. Therefore, Asia Pacific Industrial Gases Market is expected to continue to grow in the upcoming years.

Growing Focus on the Renewable Energy Sources in the Region is Driving the Industrial Gases Demand

The focus on renewable energy sources in the Asia Pacific region is expected to have a significant impact on the industrial gases market, particularly in hydrogen production. Hydrogen is seen as a key energy carrier for the future and has the potential to play an important role in the transition to a low-carbon energy system. It is observed that manufacturers have increased their interest in using renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, to produce hydrogen through electrolysis. This process involves splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using an electrical current, with the hydrogen then used as a fuel source or stored for later use. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) signed to provide USD 107 million financing to project with BIM Wind Power Joint Stock Company (BIM Wind) to backing the operation of an 88-megawatt (MW) wind farm in Ninh Thuan province, Viet Nam. Hence, the project will need significant amount of industrial gases to convert wind into energy and propel eth demand of industrial gases.

As the demand for renewable energy sources continues to grow in the Asia Pacific region, there is likely to be an increasing demand for industrial gases, particularly hydrogen, to support the development of these technologies. In addition, the production, storage, and transportation of hydrogen require a range of industrial gases, including nitrogen and helium, which are used for cooling and pressurization. Countries such as Japan and South Korea are particularly focused on developing hydrogen as a key energy source, with both countries investing heavily in the development of hydrogen infrastructure and technologies.

In addition, other countries in the region, such as China and Australia, are increasing their focus on hydrogen production and utilization, providing opportunities for companies operating in the industrial gases market. Therefore, the focus on renewable energy sources in the Asia Pacific region is expected to drive the growth of the hydrogen segment of the industrial gases market, providing opportunities for companies to expand their operations and develop new products and services to meet the needs of the renewable energy sector and increase the Asia Pacific Industrial Gases Market growth.

Rising Demand From Construction and Manufacturing Sectors are Factor driving the Industrial Gases Market Growth

Infrastructure development is a key driver of growth in the Asia Pacific Industrial Gases Market, particularly in the construction and manufacturing sectors. The demand for industrial gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon are closely tied to the growth of these sectors, as these gases are used for a range of applications, including welding, cutting, and metal fabrication. The Asia Pacific region has seen a significant increase in infrastructure development, particularly in countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asia. The development of new highways, railways, airports, and other infrastructure projects requires a range of industrial gases for activities such as welding, cutting, and metal fabrication.

Moreover, the growth of the manufacturing sector in the Asia Pacific region has been a key driver of demand for industrial gases. Manufacturing activities such as steel production, chemical processing, and electronics manufacturing require large quantities of industrial gases, with nitrogen and oxygen being among the most used industrial gases. The development of infrastructure projects such as the Belt and Road Initiative in China and the India-Japan partnership in Southeast Asia are expected to drive demand for industrial gases in the region. In addition, the growth of the electronics industry in countries such as China and South Korea is also expected to contribute to the growth of the industrial gases market. Hence, the rising construction and manufacturing activities in the region are expected to increase the demand of industrial gases and drive the Asia Pacific industrial gases market growth.
