World Industrial Gases NEW Industry Study with Forecasts for 2014 & 2019

This study examines the world industrial gas industry by gas, market and region. Products included are the atmospheric gases nitrogen, oxygen and argon; the process gases hydrogen and carbon dioxide; the inert gas helium (argon is also inert, but recovered from the atmosphere); and the fuel gas acetylene. Excluded from this report are “specialty gases,” such as silane gases, halogen gases, and other inert gases, as well as numerous others used by the electronics, chemical, health care and other industries. Additionally, gases generated and consumed captively within a process are excluded from this study. Historical data are provided for 1999, 2004 and 2009 with forecasts for the years 2014 and 2019. For this study, “demand” is synonymous with the term “consumption.” Unless otherwise specified, data are presented in millions of US dollars and billions of cubic meters. Market share data applies only to the merchant segment of the market.

Information and data on the industrial gas industry were obtained from a variety of primary and secondary sources. Consultations with producers, end users, consultants, industry specialists and trade association personnel were pursued. Secondary data were obtained from government, trade associations and other private sources. Corporate information sources included annual reports, SEC Form10-K filings, product releases, prospectuses and conversations with responsible officers within the companies themselves. Publications consulted for background information included Chemical Week, Cryogas International, Oil & Gas Journal and Specialty Gas Report.
