On-site Industrial Gases Market, Global Outlook and Forecast 2024-2030

In Business Insights
August 20, 2025


The global On-site Industrial Gases Market is experiencing steady expansion, with a valuation of US$ 58,710 million in 2023 and projections indicating it will reach US$ 76,490 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.1%. This upward trajectory reflects sustained industrial demand across manufacturing, healthcare, and energy sectors, where on-site gas generation solutions optimize operational efficiencies and reduce logistical dependencies.

On-site industrial gases – including oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen – are revolutionizing production processes by eliminating supply chain vulnerabilities while enhancing cost management. The shift toward decentralized gas production aligns with Industry 4.0 trends, where manufacturers prioritize just-in-time delivery and carbon footprint reduction. Recent advancements in membrane and cryogenic technologies further accelerate adoption rates across emerging economies.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis

North America currently leads in on-site gas adoption, accounting for 38% of total market revenue, driven by stringent EPA regulations and advanced manufacturing ecosystems. The region’s shale gas boom has particularly bolstered nitrogen generator deployments in petrochemical facilities. However, Asia-Pacific emerges as the fastest-growing market, projected to achieve a 5.8% CAGR through 2030, fueled by China’s semiconductor boom and India’s expanding pharmaceutical sector.

Europe maintains steady growth through sustainable industrial policies, with Germany and France pioneering hydrogen-on-demand systems for clean energy applications. The Middle East shows unique adoption patterns, where oil refineries increasingly deploy modular oxygen plants to enhance crude processing efficiency. Despite infrastructure gaps, Latin American markets demonstrate potential, especially in Brazil’s food packaging and Argentina’s metal fabrication industries.

Key Market Drivers and Opportunities

Three fundamental forces propel this market: growing emphasis on operational continuity, tightening safety regulations, and the economic benefits of cap-ex reduction. Metal fabrication consumes 32% of on-site gases, followed by chemical processing (28%) and electronics manufacturing (19%). The healthcare sector presents untapped potential, with hospitals adopting medical-grade oxygen generators to ensure uninterrupted critical care.

Opportunities abound in green hydrogen production, where Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers enable sustainable on-site generation. The aerospace industry’s shift toward nitrogen-based fuel tank inerting systems creates another high-growth niche. Furthermore, modular liquefaction units are gaining traction among LNG exporters seeking to eliminate transportation bottlenecks.

Challenges & Restraints

While prospects remain strong, the industry contends with high initial capital expenditures deterring small manufacturers. Energy-intensive cryogenic separation processes also face scrutiny amid rising electricity costs. Regulatory complexities vary significantly by region – for instance, China’s new industrial gas classification standards require costly compliance upgrades.

Technological limitations persist in gas purity consistency, particularly for ultra-high-purity applications in semiconductor fabs. Maintenance expertise shortages in developing markets further restrain growth potential. Recent trade policies, including EU carbon border adjustments, may impact competitive dynamics among gas system suppliers.
