Rising Demand for Industrial Oxygen Across Various Applications is Expected to Drive the Market Growth

A major factor contributing to the growth of the market is the rising demand for industrial oxygen across various applications. This essential gas plays a vital role in numerous industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, and environmental sectors. The increasing use of industrial oxygen is driven by technological advancements, the expansion of industrial activities, and the growing need for oxygen in medical treatments and environmental solutions.

In healthcare, the rising number of patients requiring respiratory support, particularly due to the aging population and increasing prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases, has significantly boosted the demand for medical oxygen. Switzerland's aging demographic, with a large proportion of the population over the age of 65, is a significant factor in this demand. Medical oxygen is essential in treating conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and acute respiratory infections. In manufacturing and industrial processes, oxygen is an essential component in various applications such as steel production, chemical manufacturing, welding, and metal cutting. The use of oxygen in these processes enhances efficiency, improves product quality, and reduces the environmental impact of industrial activities. Switzerland's advanced manufacturing industry, particularly in sectors like automotive, aerospace, and electronics, is increasingly reliant on industrial gases like oxygen for precision processes. As industries push for higher productivity, more sustainable practices, and reduced operational costs, the demand for industrial oxygen is expected to rise in these high-precision applications.

Key Findings of the Study

Switzerland Industrial Gases Market

Expanding Use of Industrial Gases in the Oil and Gas Industry

A key driver for the growth of the market is the expanding use of industrial gases in the oil and gas industry. Gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen are essential in a variety of processes within the sector, including exploration, production, refining, and environmental management. As the oil and gas industry continues to prioritize efficiency, sustainability, and safety, the demand for these industrial gases in Switzerland is steadily increasing.

Industrial gases play a crucial role in the Swiss oil and gas sector, particularly in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), refining, safety, and cleaner energy initiatives. CO2 and nitrogen are injected into oil reservoirs to boost extraction rates and extend the life of mature fields, increasing demand for these gases in EOR operations. In refining, oxygen is used to improve combustion efficiency, optimize fuel quality, and reduce emissions, aligning with Switzerland's environmental standards. Nitrogen is essential for safety measures such as purging and inserting, as well as maintaining pressure in drilling operations. Additionally, hydrogen is increasingly used for cleaner fuel production through hydrogenation and is a key component in the development of green hydrogen, supporting Switzerland’s goals for energy transition and carbon reduction.

Additionally, the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, which rely on the injection of CO2 into underground formations, are also becoming more prominent in the oil and gas sector. Switzerland, known for its environmental consciousness and innovation in sustainable practices, is witnessing a rise in the adoption of CCUS technologies as a method to reduce carbon emissions. As part of the global push toward carbon neutrality, industrial gases are integral to capturing and safely storing CO2 emissions from oil and gas operations, positioning Switzerland as a key player in environmental responsibility.
