Special industrial gas, usually refers to the application in a specific field of purity, variety, nature of the gas has special requirements. The following is a detailed analysis of the specialty industrial gases market and its application in various industries:
i. Overview of Special Industrial Gases Market
- market size:
- in recent years, with the vigorous development of downstream industries, the market demand for specialty gases continues to rise. According to data, from 2017 to 2023, the size of my country’s special gas market increased from 17.5 billion yuan to 49.6 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 18.96. It is estimated that by 2026, the market size of China’s special gas industry will reach 80.8 billion billion yuan, accounting for 28.43 percent of the industrial gas market, with a compound annual growth rate of 18.76 percent, maintaining a high-speed growth trend.
- Market competition pattern:
- at present, four foreign gas giants (Linde gas, French liquefied air, American air chemical, Japanese acid) still occupy a large market share in China’s special gas market. However, with the optimization and upgrading of China’s economic structure and the vigorous promotion of national policies, the domestic special gas industry has broken the situation of “import dependence”. A number of special gas production enterprises with outstanding technology, stable production quality and qualified supply capacity have emerged.
- Market Potential:
- my country’s special gas market has great potential, which is mainly due to the support of national industrial policies and the rapid development of downstream integrated circuits, display panels, LEDs, photovoltaics and other electronic semiconductor industries. The demand for specialty gases in these industries continues to grow, driving the expansion of the specialty gas market.
Application of Special Industrial Gases in Various Industries
- electronic semiconductor industry:
- special gases are widely used in the electronic semiconductor industry and are indispensable key raw materials. They are mainly used in the processing and manufacturing process of integrated circuits, display panels, photovoltaic energy, fiber optic cables and other electronic industries, including cleaning, etching, lithography, epitaxy, doping and other process links.
- In integrated circuit manufacturing, special gases play a vital role and are widely used in etching, cleaning, doping, vapor deposition and other processes. With the rapid development of downstream industries, the market demand for electronic specialty gases continues to grow.
- Biopharmaceutical industry:
- special gases also have important applications in the biomedical industry, such as the manufacture of medical equipment and the assistance of biological experiments. High-purity specialty gases are essential to ensure the quality and safety of biomedical products.
- New energy industry:
- in the new energy industry, special gases also play an important role. For example, in the production process of solar photovoltaic cells, special gases play an important role in diffusion, etching, deposition and other processes. With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the demand for special gases will continue to grow.
- Other Industries:
- in addition to the above industries, special gases are also widely used in high-end equipment manufacturing, environmental protection, quality inspection and testing and other fields. These industries have strict requirements on the purity, impurity content, packaging, storage and transportation of special gases, which promote the continuous progress of special gas technology and the sustainable development of the market.
