Air separation plants are industrial facilities that separate atmospheric air into its three primary constituents: oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. To allow for the separation of the components, the air is compressed and cooled. The oxygen, nitrogen, and argon are then collected and used in a variety of ways, including the production of industrial gases, welding, flame-cutting, and fertilizer production. Because of the numerous industrial and commercial applications for the gases produced by air separation plants, they are in high demand. The global air separation plants market is projected to reach USD 5.9 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 4.9% between 2021 and 2026. The global market for air separation plants is driven by strong growth in demand, especially from the iron & steel, oil & gas, chemical, healthcare, and other end-use industries.
The Asia Pacific air separation plant market is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period, owing to rising demand for air separation plants from the region's expanding petrochemical and power industries. The region's expanding industrial sector is expected to be a major driver of the air separation plant market's growth. Furthermore, rising demand for nitrogen and oxygen for industrial applications such as metal cutting and welding is expected to drive the growth of the region's air separation plant market. The increasing use of air separation plants for the production of medical oxygen is also expected to boost the growth of the region's air separation plant market. Furthermore, rising government initiatives to promote the growth of renewable energy sources are expected to fuel regional demand for air separation plants, driving market growth.
