Segments - Syngas Market by Gasifier Types (Entrained Flow, Fixed Bed, Fluidized Bed, and Others), Technology (Partial Oxidation, Auto-Thermal Reforming, Steam Reforming, and Others), Feedstocks (Coal, Natural Gas, Biomass, and Others), End-user Industries (Chemicals, Liquid Fuels, Power Generation, Gaseous Fuels, and Others), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031
The global syngas market size was valued at around USD 46.26 Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 78.82 Billion by 2031 , expanding at a CAGR of around 6.1% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing demand for syngas for power generation industries and chemical industries.
Syngas, also known as synthesis gas, is a combination of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane, hydrocarbons, and carbon dioxide in smaller quantities. It is derived from feedstocks such as coal, heavy oil, natural gas, and others.
Gasification of any carbon-containing fuel produces syngas. Gasification refers to a process that converts carbon-based raw materials into synthesis gas, also known as fuel gas. Gasification is a process of direct contact between air or steam and feedstock in a high temperature or high pressure vessel. This contact causes chemical reactions that converts feedstock into syngas. Syngas aids in reduction of carbon emission, converts waste into fuel, and generates renewable power.
Rising demand for syngas from chemical industry is expected to drive the global syngas market during the forecast period.
Low energy cost and improved stability of syngas boost the market.
Increasing awareness regarding clean environment and environment protection is projected to fuel the market in the coming years.
Stringent government policies about use of renewable fuels spur the market.
High capital investments hamper the growth of the market.
Significant time needed to build an operational syngas plant hinders the growth of the market.
Developing underground coal gasification technology offers growth opportunities to the key market players.

Based on gasifier types, the market is divided into entrained flow, fixed bed, fluidized bed, and others. The fluidized market is expected to boost the market during the forecast period, as these types of gasifiers are commonly used to improve turbulence for complete gasification of low-quality feedstocks.
In terms of technology, the market is segmented into partial oxidation, auto-thermal reforming, steam reforming, and others. The steam reforming segment is projected to drive the market during the forecast period, due to reliability, cost-effectiveness, wide usage to produce hydrogen, and environmental benefits.
On the basis of feedstocks, the market is segregated into coal, natural gas, biomass, and others. The coal segment is anticipated to fuel the market during the forecast period, owing to high availability for energy production and high compatibility with various syngas production technologies. Increasing usage of coal in countries such as China and India drive the coal segment.
In terms of end-user industries, the market is divided into chemicals, liquid fuels, power generation, gaseous fuels, and others. The chemicals segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, as the chemical industry uses feedstocks that are economical to produce or procure. Increasing use of syngas in processing of chemicals for petrochemicals, fertilizers, oxo chemicals, and others and rising demand for green chemicals for the synthesis and chemical intermediates are estimated to boost the market in the coming years.
Based on regions, the market is segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to register a significant CAGR during the forecast period, due to surging demand for syngas in countries such as India, China, and Japan to use in industries such as electricity, fuel, and chemicals. Increasing demand for fertilizers, growing fuel and electricity applications, rapid urbanizations, and rising demand for consumer goods and infrastructure facilitates the growth of the market in the region.
The global syngas market trends are fragmented with the presence of key players such as Linde, Plc; Sasol Limited; Air Products, Inc.; Air Liquide; Haldor Topsoe A/S; BASF SE; Siemens AG; SynGas Technology, LLC; Syngas Energy Systems, Inc.; Shell, Plc; John Wood Group, Plc; Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.; and others, who use strategies such as product launches, mergers, acquisitions, collaborations, and partnerships to strengthen their hold on the market.
