GCC Industrial Gases Market: Growth Driver

Growing Regional Chemical Industry Demand

In the chemical industry, industrial gases have numerous and significant uses. These are used extensively in the chemical industry for cryogenic applications, transportation, and logistics of chemical and related goods, numerous synthesis processes, and the creation of modified atmospheres during reactions, and as feed stock.

The GCC area has become a prominent center in the worldwide chemical industry, and it is projected that it will continue to expand in the near future. As a result, the regional industrial gases market participants are likely to see considerable possibilities throughout the course of the projection period. For instance, in 2022, Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group (CE&IG), expanded its Middle East presence by opening a new service center in Qatar’s Business Innovation Park in Ras Bufontas. The mission of the new service center is to support local and regional customers for all projects and services related to cryogenic pumps, turbo expanders, and equipment for liquefied natural gas (LNG), ethylene, ammonia, hydrocarbon gas liquids, and industrial gases.

The need for high-tech and healthcare applications is growing.

The GCC region's high average cost of medical care has compelled local governments to take action to lower the total cost of providing standard medical care. As a result, the GCC healthcare sector is undergoing significant infrastructure modifications. In the healthcare sector, industrial gases are employed for technical, cryogenic, and respiratory purposes. Thus, it is projected that throughout the projection period, there will be a significant demand for industrial gases due to the region's rapidly expanding healthcare sector. For instance, in 2022, Gulf Cryo Med Gas (GCMG), a subsidiary company of Gulf Cryo, provides a complete end-to-end solution for medical gas applications, including storage, an engineered delivery system, secondary equipment and accessories. This is a specialized applications group that works with other Gulf Cryo subsidiaries to deliver complete medical gas supply and delivery solutions to customers throughout the Middle East.

Due to the criticality of the healthcare segments, there are internationally stringent standards that govern the production and supply of medical gases. Gulf Cryo’s membership in the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) and the International Oxygen Manufacturing Association (IOMA) attest to our expertise in the medical gas field.

GCC Industrial Gases Market: Restraints

  • In terms of safety and efficiency, petrol transportation remains a serious concern: For the production and delivery of industrial gases, the three main energy sources are electricity, natural gas, and diesel fuel. For the majority of industrial participants, energy efficiency and cost continue to be key issues. Additionally, gas pipelines, which deliver substantial amounts of industrial gases to clients, are largely responsible for transportation expenses. Cylinder gas distribution is significantly more expensive. In addition, operating high-pressure cylinders and liquid tanks correctly requires specialized personnel due to safety concerns. Therefore, one of the largest problems in the GCC industrial gases market is expected to be maintaining and maximizing the usage of gas pipelines, tanks, and cylinders for the transportation of industrial gases.
