Food Grade Industrial Gases Market Growth:

As new products are introduced to the food industry and packaging technology advances, the demand for food-grade industrial gases for a variety of end uses also increases.

Drivers:

The world market for food-grade industrial gas is supposed to experience growth during the outlook period as its application in the fields of packaging and storage of frozen foods, fruits, vegetables, beverages, meat, seafood, fast food, bakeries and confectionery. Growing consumer concerns about contamination and the safety of nutritional products have forced companies to implement food-grade industrial gas in packaging and storage applications. As Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) increases in importance to control microbial growth in the food and beverage industry, market demand is assumed to grow in the near future. The need for Food Grade Industrial Gases is likely to increase as the distribution of NSF H1 standards increases in the food and beverage industry. Awareness of preserving aromas and textures is expected to grow, and the shelf life of the nutrition industry will have a positive impact on the market during the prediction period.

The increasing market demand for these gases is expected to accelerate the growth of the global Food Grade Industrial Gases market in the near future due to the latest advances in refrigeration and packaging technology. Year-round consumer demand for fresh vegetables and food is assumed to fuel the food-grade industrial gas market. Food-grade industrial gases are widely used in a variety of applications, such as long shelf life, freezing and refrigeration, preservation and carbonation, and packaging of various beverages. The increase in healthy foods is a major driving force in the global market for food-grade industrial gas. Customers need natural foods without preservatives or less processing without chemical treatment, which again promotes the growth of the worldwide market. As the demand for fresh and packaged foods has increased, industrial gas has been used in the food and beverage sector.

Increased working hours and changes in lifestyle have affected the convenience or growth of packaged foods. As a result, packaging technology and frozen foods have grown. Nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are the major industrial gases used in a variety of food applications, such as freezing, packaging, refrigeration, and grinding. The growing demand for carbonated soft drinks is also expected to drive demand for food-grade industrial gas during the forecast period. Carbonated drinks have become an integral part of any event, celebration and other recreational activity. Soft drinks along with drinks are also available for small parties and celebrations. Also, office workers who take a weekend break prefer soft drinks or refreshments to relax and enjoy on the weekends. As the number of events worldwide increases, the demand for carbonated beverages and food-grade industrial gas is anticipated to increase.

Restraints:

The food-grade industrial gases market requires a large capital investment to establish the plant and infrastructure. This is evident in the balance sheet of the existing players, where the plant and equipment sector represent around 40% -45% of the balance sheet. Therefore, high capital investment requirements for food-grade industrial gas plant facilities will limit the market during the forecast period.
