Sometimes known as the "invisible industry", Europe's industrial gases companies play a vital part in the widest spectrum of industries - including; manufacturing, chemicals, metals, food, electronics, space and healthcare - to name a few.
Philippe Cornille, General Secretary
In recent times, the Industrial Gases sector is becoming increasingly visible.
For instance, as a result of oxygen saving countless of Covid-patients' lives, or as a result of hydrogen being front and centre of the decarbonisation ambitions.
For a better understanding of the Industrial Gases sector, EIGA has produced this "Facts & Figures" booklet.
IG = Industrial Gas. TPD = Metric Tonnes Per Day. Data is for base year 2022 and for EU27 unless specified otherwise.

3rd THE EU IS THE THIRD LARGEST IG MARKET IN THE WORLD
In 2022, the global industrial gas market achieved a market size of 91 billion. Although moderate volumes growth and normalising medical oxygen sales, the market has been experiencing a significant impact from energy prices, inflation, and currency exchange rates. This led to a record-breaking increase in sales for industrial gas companies worldwide.

SOURCING OF QUALITY CO2 IS A GROWING ISSUE
There is a demand for over 3.6 million tons of CO2 in many different applications across the EU. While there is an apparent over-capacity the demand at peak times and reliance on ammonia has resulted in tight supply markets. Share of bio-ethanol as a source has grown in 2022, while ammonia share dropped.
