Industrial Gases: United States

Report Overview

This report forecasts to 2022 and 2026 US industrial gases demand and shipments in nominal US dollars at the manufacturer level. Total demand is segmented by product in terms of: argon and hydrogen; nitrogen; fluorocarbons; oxygen; carbon dioxide; acetylene; and other gases such as helium, neon, and nitrous oxide.

To illustrate historical trends, total demand, total shipments, the various segments, and trade are provided in annual series from 2011 to 2021.

Stated demand figures include the merchant, packaged, and captive markets for industrial gases. The merchant market refers to products delivered in bulk from supplier to customer via tanker truck or tube trailer, while packaged gases are distributed in cylinders or dewars. Captive consumption encompasses gases supplied by on-site plants and delivered through a pipeline. Re-exports of industrial gases are excluded from demand and trade figures.

Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
