Food Grade Industrial Gases Market Segmentation Analysis - By Gas Type

The Food Grade Industrial Gases market based on gas type can be further segmented into Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Others. Carbon Dioxide held a dominant market share in the year 2021. It is owing to rising consumption of carbonated beverages among adults and children. Rising trend of adopting soft drinks during celebration increases the production of carbonated beverages. Recently, among younger generation the consumption of beer increases which increases the production in brewery sector, thus the demand of carbon dioxide increases. Recently, about 230 million tons of carbon dioxide are used every year as the demand of carbonated drinks becomes trends in the recent lifestyle of consumers which rising the production of carbon dioxide.

However, Nitrogen is estimated to be the fastest-growing, with a CAGR of 7.6% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. Nitrogen are mostly used in the bakery industry as it is used in freezing delicate products like muffins, scones and cakes. As the demand of packaged foods increases so, the use of nitrogen gas also increases as it helps to increases the shelf life of food. In 2020, the sales of packaged foods increased by 87% owing to changing lifestyle of consumers therefore, the usage of nitrogen gas also increases.

Food Grade Industrial Gases Market Segmentation Analysis - By Application

The Food Grade Industrial Gases market based on application can be further segmented into Beverages, Meat, Poultry and Seafood, Dairy, Frozen products, Bakery & Confectionery products, and Others. Beverages held a dominant market share in the year 2021. Recently, the consumption of different types of beverages increases which pushes manufacturers to increases the production of carbon dioxide gas as it is used in various carbonated beverages such as soft drinks and beer. The number of brewing facility increased by 8% that have resulted the increase demand in beverage sector.

However, Frozen Products is estimated to be the fastest-growing, with a CAGR of 7.9% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. The rising consumption of processed food increases the use of food grade industrial gas as it helps to increase the shelf life of food. Owing to busy schedule, people are not able to waste time in preparing food so, the adoption of frozen products increases so, manufacturers are using nitrogen gas in various frozen products in order to enhance the shelf life.

Food Grade Industrial Gases Market Segmentation Analysis - By Geography

The Food Grade Industrial Gases market based on Geography can be further segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and the Rest of the World.
