1.1 Market definition and presentation
Industrial gases are defined as manufactured gases, resulting from air distillation. The scope of industrial gas includes:
- oxygen
- nitrogen
- argon
- helium
- carbon dioxide
- acetylene
- other gases
What signifies industrial gas are the many areas of usage including the chemical sector (oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, CO), food processing (nitrogen and CO2), metal processing (oxygen, argon) or health (oxygen, nitrous oxide). [Chemistry Info]
The global market is expanding amid higher demand on industrial output and urbanisation, together with higher consumer expenditure on foods and transport. Similar to the French market, the global market is dominated by a few amount of players, and the structure is that of an oligopoly.
