Nitrogen Gas Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Nitrogen Gas Market is estimated to reach USD 58.35 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 6.63%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Nitrogen Gas Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis. The global nitrogen gas market is expected to be worth USD 30.71 billion in 2024, with a CAGR of 6.63% between 2025 and 2034. This is due to ongoing urbanisation and industrialisation, as well as increased use of nitrogen in industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, metals and mining, and food and beverage. Furthermore, increased production of packaged foods, medications and pharmaceuticals, and electronic devices is expected to be a significant development driver.
By Form Insights
The liquid nitrogen gas segment held the largest revenue share in the market in 2024. It is derived from liquid air through fractional distillation and is used in cooling and cryogenic processes. Liquid nitrogen is non-toxic, odorless, colorless, chemically inert, and non-flammable, making it popular in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. It aids in safely transferring reaction mixtures during pharmaceutical manufacturing, as using an inert gas is essential to prevent hazards from exposure to oxygen or water vapor, which can affect certain chemicals.
By Application Insights
In 2024, the food and beverage sector had the most revenue share because nitrogen was being used more and more in a variety of applications. This gas is mainly used for preservation in food packaging, creating a nitrogen-rich environment that stops spoilage-causing microorganisms. It is also used in packaging perishable food to keep it fresh and extend its shelf life.
Additionally, nitrogen is used in pharmaceuticals to create an inert atmosphere during medicine production and to protect medications from moisture and degradation. This is expected to boost nitrogen demand and market growth in the future.
Regional Insights
The North America nitrogen gas market had a large share in 2024 due to rising demand from industries like pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, oil and gas, and petrochemicals. These sectors use nitrogen gas for preservation, packaging, and manufacturing, aiding market growth. The Asia Pacific nitrogen gas market is expected to grow rapidly. Countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia are seeing industrial growth, with government support boosting the semiconductor industry and driving nitrogen gas demand.
Market Competitive Landscape
The global nitrogen gas industry has major players, including Linde plc, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation, and Praxair Technology, Inc. These companies compete fiercely with each other and local firms that have strong distribution networks and knowledge of suppliers and regulations. Linde Plc, established in 2018 and based in Surrey, UK, produces various gases and serves multiple markets like chemicals, healthcare, and manufacturing with 45 subsidiaries worldwide.
Recent Developments:
In 2024, Air Liquide plans to invest over 50 million euros to create a new facility in Singapore and upgrade its existing infrastructure in Malta, New York, USA. The goal is to provide GlobalFoundries (GF) with high-purity nitrogen and improve energy efficiencies.
Air Water America, the United States subsidiary of Japan-based Air Water Inc., announced plans in August 2023 to build the first air separation unit in Rochester, New York. As a result, the former expects to succeed in both production and industrial gas sales.
