Growing Number of Applications in Chemical Industry Boosts Asia Pacific Liquid Nitrogen Market
In the chemical industry, liquid nitrogen is often used in manufacturing, processing, handling, storage, and transportation. It is employed as a cryopreservation agent and serves as the raw material for cloning processes. Liquid nitrogen is used as a pressurizing gas, propelling liquids through pipelines. Also, it is used to shield oxygen-sensitive materials from the air as well as to remove volatile organic chemicals from process streams. In chemical analysis, liquid nitrogen is commonly used during sample preparation. It is used for maintaining concentration and reduction of the volume of liquid samples. Liquid nitrogen helps produce fertilizers, dyes, nitric acid, and explosives. Further, specialty chemicals manufacturing companies are expanding their capacities to cater to surging demand from domestic and international markets. The chemical sector in Japan, India, European countries, and the US is significantly increasing. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India became the sixth-largest producer of chemicals worldwide and ranked third in Asia; the chemical industry contributed 7% to the country’s GDP in 2023. Furthermore, the demand for chemicals and petrochemicals in India is anticipated to almost triple and reach US$ 1 trillion by 2040. Thus, the growing liquid nitrogen usage in chemical applications across various economies is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the liquid nitrogen market growth during the forecast period.
