Nitrous Oxide Market Size To Reach $2.30 Billion By 2030

Nitrous Oxide Market Growth & Trends

The global nitrous oxide market size is expected to reach USD 2.30 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.9% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing demand from various industries, especially from the medical sector, is helping the market gain tremendous momentum. In addition, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and the growing geriatric population in major countries is further fueling the demand over the forecast period.

Nitrous oxide is largely consumed by the medical, automotive, food & beverage, and electronics industries. More than 85.0% of nitrous oxide produced is consumed in the medical sector. It is extensively used as analgesic and anesthetic agent in medical applications. Economies such as the U.S., Germany, France, Japan, China, and India are major destinations for market players owing to the presence of a wide patient base suffering from chronic diseases.

Nitrous oxide is widely used in automotive engines to increase efficiency. It is one of the simplest ways to provide a significant horsepower boost to any gasoline engine. When nitrous oxide is injected into an engine, its molecules break down and release oxygen during combustion to allow the engine to produce more power. The global market is projected to expand significantly in the coming years. In 2016, North America was the largest market for nitrous oxide due to the high prevalence of chronic diseases. Moreover, surging demand from Asia Pacific is anticipated to support the growth of the overall market.
