Regional Overview

APAC to Lead the Global Market

The Asia Pacific led the global market in 2018, followed by North America and Europe. In the Asia Pacific, there is an increasing need for high-purity industrial gases from end-use sectors such as the oil and gas industry, chemicals, and petrochemicals. In addition, the Asia Pacific region's need for air separation plants is being driven by stringent safety and environmental rules in the healthcare sector, as well as growing demand for photovoltaic products.

North America to Follow APAC

North America is known as one of the leading manufacturers and distributors of high purity oxygen, cylinder filling plants, and various gas generators for medical, industrial, and other applications. For example, Linde North America is investing in a new gasification train as well as ancillary equipment and facilities. During the projection period, this is likely to enhance demand for air separation plants in the region.

Europe to Witness Growth in the Global Market

Europe is regarded as one of the most important markets for air separation plants in areas such as process and gas. European governments, such as those in France and Germany, invest heavily in infrastructure as well as in current technology innovations aimed at lowering capital costs and increasing process efficiency. For example, a European supplier of industrial and medical gas products offers ULTRA-AL merchant air separation plants. This has an impact on the demand for air separation plants in the region.
