Cryogenic Gases Market Report Highlights

• Based on product, the oxygen segment held the largest revenue share of 43.0% in 2025. The chemical resistance, superior durability, and fast curing properties of the product are expected to fuel the segment growth. Additionally, strong demand from industries requiring heavy-duty protection, such as marine and aerospace, continues to drive growth.

• Asia Pacific is the dominant region for the cryogenic gases industry with a revenue share of 50.9% in 2025. The market is expanding due to increasing demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and industrial gases across sectors like healthcare, electronics, and energy. A key driver is the region’s rising investments in LNG infrastructure to support energy security and transition to cleaner fuels.

• In October 2024, Linde Engineering agreed with NEXTCHEM to supply its HISORP CC carbon capture technology for ADNOC's Hail and Ghasha project in the UAE. This project is among the world's most significant offshore sour gas developments and aims to achieve net-zero emissions. Linde's adsorption-based HISORP CC solution efficiently captures and purifies carbon dioxide for sequestration, targeting the capture of 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 annually. Unlike traditional chemical-based systems, HISORP CC is electrically driven and can be powered entirely by renewable energy, achieving CO2 capture rates exceeding 99% without increasing the carbon footprint.
