Gas type, transportation, manufacturing process, end-user, and region are the components whereupon market is specified.

Gas Type

On grounds of gas type, the market is fragmented into nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, helium, argon, carbon dioxide, and others. In between, oxygen leads the market due to its many uses, including in healthcare, environmental remediation, and fuel thermal efficiency.

Transportation

The market via transportation is distributed into merchant liquid distribution, cylinder and packaged distribution, tonnage distribution, and others. The merchant liquid distribution division grab the largest gas mixtures market share due to its cost-effective way to transport large volumes of gas over long distances, strength, stability, and cost-effectiveness.

Manufacturing Process

The market by manufacturing process is divided into hydrogen production technology, air separation technology, and other. Air separation technology are expected to dominate the gas mixtures market growth as is the most common method for separating the components of air, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon.

• For instance, in December 2022, Air Liquide has inaugurated its new oxygen plant and cylinder filling station. The new air separation unit (ASU), the groups fifth in India, has a production capacity of 70 tonnes per day.

End-User

On the account of end-user, the market is dismembered into medical and healthcare, electronics, metal manufacturing and fabrication, chemicals, food and beverages, and others. The medical and healthcare segment holds the largest market share. This is due to the high demand for medical oxygen, which is essential for patient care and diagnosis.

Regional

Geographically, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

North America: North America is anticipated to lead the market during the forecast period. This is due to the presence of major players, advanced healthcare infrastructure, and increasing adoption of gas mixtures in various industries.

• For instance, in September 2023, Enbridge Inc., announced that it has entered into three separate definitive agreements with Dominion Energy, Inc. to acquire EOG, Questar, and PSNC for an aggregate purchase price of USD 14.0 Billion, comprised of USD 9.4 Billion of cash consideration and USD 4.6 Billion of assumed debt, subject to customary closing adjustments. Upon the closings of the three transactions, Enbridge will add gas utility operations in Ohio, North Carolina, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming, representing a significant presence in the U.S. utility sector.

Asia Pacific: Asia Pacific is considered to be the fastest growing region in the target market due to rising demand, industrialization, economic development, rising energy demand, increasing adoption of policies to reduce air pollution, and others.
