The value of the worldwide argon gas market demand is set to reach USD 241.3 million by 2024, which is expected to rise to USD 408.4 million through the forecast period. Owing to a moderate development rate, the industry is likely to fuel advancements at a CAGR of 5.4%, thereby creating several opportunities for key players.
Argon gas tends to improve the operational quality and lifespan of the product. The benefit provided by the gas increases the popularity of the element, driving demand. With the rising demand for durability and longevity of construction projects, key players have been using inert elements like argon, which ensures the longevity of buildings and other construction elements, thereby boosting the popularity of the gas.
Along with oxygen, argon is set to be used to increase the shelf life of food products. Due to the increased demand for maintaining optimum food health, prospects for the said inert gas are expected to increase, fueling the growth of the industry.
The use of inert gases in semiconductors to prevent adverse reactions is likely to gain momentum. The growing worldwide semiconductor industry creates key opportunities for leading firms in the ecosystem.
The emerging trend of cryosurgery and cryopreservation is expected to govern the size of the argon gas market. The growing popularity of such techniques drives demand for the gas.
How are Metal Fabrication Applications Fueling Sales of Argon Gas?
Traditional MIG welding processes and resistance welding are extensively used in manufacturing and repairing cars, motorbikes, and other vehicles. The demand for welding is increasing across many industries such as construction, aerospace, shipping and rail, and maintenance.
Argon facilitates electric arc and provides good stabilization on electric arc in metal fabrication, creating a nitrogen and oxygen-free environment for the annealing and rolling process. As steel production is one of the key application segments of argon gas, demand is slated to surge at a considerable pace over the forecast period.
What Are the Sales Prospects of Argon Gas in The Healthcare Sector?
Argon gas is used in hospitals for analysis and quality control, especially in inductively coupled plasma (ICP), emission spectrometry, blanket gas in graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, and carrier gas in gas chromatography.
It has the potential of a neuroprotective agent. In the treatment of brain injuries such as in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and in vivo middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), it provides neuroprotective abilities and acts as an organ protectant in surgical applications.
Argon gas produces a strong narcotic effect as compared to helium and nitrogen at high pressure (>10 atm). It is an inert gas and because of this, it creates a physical narcotic effect rather than a chemical. Having aesthetic abilities, it stimulates y- Aminobutyric acid type A-receptors.
“Owing to greater transportation costs of argon gas, the efficiency of supply chains might be affected, which is a key barrier to the growth of the competitive space,” says Nikhil Kaitwade, Associate Vice President at Future Market Insights (FMI).
