The global high-purity gas market size was USD 32.1 Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 49.88 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 6.1% during 2023-2031. The market growth is attributed to increasing urbanization, growth in infrastructural activities, and growing industrialization across the world.
Gases having more than 99.99% concentration are known as high-purity gases. High-purity gases are used in various applications where impurity control is vital. The impurity level in high-purity gas is usually below 0.1 ppm. High-purity gas, such as helium, argon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, are categorized into hydrocarbon, rare, pure, and miscellaneous gas.
High-purity gas can be manufactured through various methods and has several applications. It is designed to be used in analytical activities for consistency, improving quality & yield, and reliable operations for the systematic result.
COVID-19 negatively affected the high-purity gas market during the forecast period. The market witnessed a decline in demand and growth, owing to several global economic and legal restrictions. The restrictions on import & export and trade activities affected the operations of the high-purity gas industry.
High-purity gases help in extending the shelf life of food-related products by keeping them fresh from producing them to supermarket lines and even beyond that. It helps in Nitrogen plays a crucial role as it helps in food cooling and freezing. Helium is termed as a noble gas, due to the manufacturing process of semiconductors and it also helps to keep chemical reactions away which is expected to lead to thermal damage. High-purity gases also help in fighting the harmful bacteria in food and maintain food safety, thus driving the market.
High cost of gas processing and unstable prices of raw materials are anticipated to restrain the overall growth of the market. Moreover, high investment costs while deploying the services further hamper the market growth. Increasing cost of indium tin oxide is also expected to hinder the high-purity market growth in the coming years. High-purity gases often lead to dizziness, skin issues, and suffocation thereby restraining the market.
Advancements in new environmentally friendly technologies and electronic devices are expected to bring in new opportunities for the key market players in the projection period.
