Rare gas market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. Rare gases such as argon, krypton, neon, xenon, and helium are gaining immense popularity in various end-user applications which include healthcare, manufacturing, electronics, laser, lighting, and others owing to their unique physical and chemical properties. The increasing demand from electronics and automotive industries in emerging countries such as China and India is witnessing rapid economic growth. The healthcare industry is also serving new growth opportunities to the market as rare gases such as helium and oxygen are widely used in to treat various diseases, including emphysema, asthma, and other respiratory diseases. In addition, helium has been extensively used in MRI machines to cool superconductive magnets. It is also used in helium-neon eye surgeries. Moreover, the demand for rare gas is surging owing to increasing healthcare expenditure, rapid technological advancements, and the rising consumption of substantial volumes of specialty gas in therapies. This, in turn, drives the growth of the market.
Apart from these, the rising adoption of rare gases in high-temperature metallurgical procedures is also helping in widening the market growth. Growth in the welding and metallurgical sector is anticipated to spur demand for gases such as argon. In addition, rising investments in R&D for developing noble gas-based devices are expected to fuel market growth.
Segmental Outlook
The global rare gas market is segmented based on type, supply mode, and application. Based on gas type, the market is sub-segmented into argon, krypton, neon, xenon, and helium. Among these, the helium rare gas segment is expected to hold a lucrative market share during the forecast period. The increasing consumption of helium in the electronics and semiconductor industry and the growing usage in the healthcare industry are likely to drive the market demand, which in turn, will boost segment growth. Whereas increasing demand for smartphones and GPS-enabled vehicles are further expected to create sales prospects for helium gas over the forecast period. Based on supply mode, the market is subdivided into cylinders, bulk & micro bulk, drum tanks, and on-site. Further, based on application, the market is sub-categorized into healthcare, manufacturing, electronics, laser, lighting, and others. Among these, the healthcare segment is likely to hold the largest share among other end-users. Rare gases are gaining immense popularity in the healthcare industry which is driving the segment growth. For instance, helium can reach a temperature of -269° C, making liquid helium the best option for cooling the magnets of MRI machines. Helium is also being used for breathing observation.
Regional Outlook
Geographically, the global market is classified into four major regions including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and Rest of the World (Latin America and the Middle East and Africa (MEA)). Among these, North America held the highest share and dominated the market in 2021. The region is further likely to contribute a high share of the market growth. The US and Canada are the two major economies contributing a prominent share to the market growth. Moreover, massive investments in production technologies in North America are anticipated to surge the demand for rare gas in the region in the coming years.
Global Rare Gas Market Growth, By Region 2022-2028
Asia-Pacific Emerge as Fastest Growing in Rare Gas Market Share
