Safe and Effective Transportation of Gases Remains Key Challenge

Electricity, natural gas, and diesel fuel serve as major energy sources for production and distribution of industrial gases. The efficiency and cost of energy remains a major problem for most industry players.

Moreover, transportation costs mainly depend on gas pipelines, which distribute large volumes of industrial gases to customers. Distribution costs for cylinder gases are even higher. Besides, both high pressure cylinders and liquid tanks have safety issues and require skilled manpower for proper handling.

Therefore, maintaining and optimizing the use of gas pipelines, tanks, and cylinders for transportation of industrial gases is anticipated to be one of the biggest challenges in the GCC industrial gases market.

KSA Industrial Gases Market to Witness Robust Growth

The KSA market is projected to emerge as the most attractive market, in terms of market share and CAGR index, throughout the forecast period. Increasing infrastructural activities, coupled with rising demand from the chemical industry are estimated to drive the demand for industrial gases in KSA.

Robust demand for industrial gases from countries such as the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait is estimated to contribute towards the market growth throughout the forecast period.

The KSA industrial gases market is expected to hold a considerable market share, followed by UAE and Qatar in terms of both value and volume.

Increasing Influence of Regional Players Driving Market Growth

The GCC industrial gases market is highly consolidated with large players holding ~45-55% share in the overall regional market, with presence through local distributors and suppliers.
