The global industrial nitrogen generator market size is projected to reach USD 5.5 billion by 2026 from USD 4.2 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for industrial nitrogen generator from the packaged and convenient food sector is driving the market. In addition, increasing demand from end-use industries such as food & beverage, transportation, medical & pharmaceutical, chemical, and manufacturing as well as increasing demand due to growing consumer electronics sector is also driving the industrial nitrogen generator market. Growth in urbanization in the emerging economies, such as APAC, Middle East & Africa, and South America, are also driving the market.
Industrial nitrogen generators are equipment, which separate nitrogen from purified compressed air and provide nitrogen for various industrial purposes, such as beverage processing, electronics manufacturing, pharmaceutical drug production and others. Parker Hannifin Corporation (US), Ingersoll Rand (US), Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (US), Atlas Copco (Sweden), Air Liquide (France), Hitachi Industrial Equipment System Company (Japan), Inmatec (Germany), Linde Plc (UK), Novair SAS (France), and Oxymat A/S (Denmark) are the major players in the market.
Based on technology type, the industrial nitrogen generator market is segmented into PSA, membrane based, and cryogenic based. The PSA industrial nitrogen generators segment is the largest, which is projected to continue till 2026. The key growth driver of the high consumption of these industrial nitrogen generators is their use by the food & beverage industry in processing and packaging applications to achieve better quality and longer shelf life. PSA nitrogen generators are also used in automotive electronics, consumer electronic product manufacturing, and metal processing, and so on.
