Food-Grade Gases Market

According to a research report "Food Grade Gases Market by Type (Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide), Application (Freezing & Chilling, Packaging, Carbonation), Industry (Dairy & Frozen Products, Beverages, Meat, Poultry & Seafood) and Region - Global Forecast to 2027" published by MarketsandMarkets, the global food grade gases market is estimated to be valued at USD 7.6 billion in 2022. It is projected to reach USD 10.6 billion by 2027, recording a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. The global food grade gases market has been influenced by some of the macroeconomic and microeconomic factors witnessed in some key countries. This would prove strong enough to drive the market significantly in terms of value sales during the forecast period. With the rise in consumer demand for perishable goods and growth in international food trade due to trade liberalization, the trend of investing in R&D activities to improve food grade gases techniques has significantly boosted the use of packaged products in the food and beverage industry. In order to avoid wastage and ensure a longer shelf-life, manufacturers use a variety of food-grade gases for freezing, chilling, and packaging these food products & beverages. Different gases are used for different applications in the food & beverage industry. For instance, carbon dioxide has a major application in the carbonation of beverages, nitrogen is mainly used for packaging, and hydrogen for hydrogenation of oils and fats. These gases are used for preserving fruits & vegetables, beverages, bakery & confectionery products, dairy & frozen desserts, meat & seafood, convenience foods, and other food items such as oils, sauces, condiments, and dips. These food items are sensitive and require a controlled environment to prevent microbial contamination for which they are either frozen or chilled. Slight variations in temperature or atmospheric conditions may affect the taste, texture, organoleptic characteristics, and the overall quality of the food product.

The nitrogen gas segment is estimated to register a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period. The quick cooling/freezing properties of nitrogen help retain the quality of products by preventing dehydration and crumbling. These properties drive the demand for nitrogen in the food & beverage industry.

Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic, inert gas, which is why it is widely used in the food & beverage industry. Nitrogen displaces oxygen and decreases moisture inside of packaged food. Moisture in packaged foods creates bacteria, mold, and mildew, which is why nitrogen is necessary for the food preservation process. This gas also preserves freshness and retains nutrients, which helps the food or beverage last longer. Larger quantities of nitrogen may be required than oxygen or vice versa, depending on what food to preserve. Red meats tend to lose their color when they are deprived of oxygen, so less nitrogen is used when packaging red meat. On the other hand, coffee and beer require more nitrogen because it improves the quality of these drinks. Beer needs nitrogen to create foam, and coffee is dispensed with a higher pressure when brewed with nitrogen.

Some other applications of nitrogen are for sparging wines and filling the headspaces of various beverages to create an inert atmosphere and delay spoilage. Nitrogen is classified as a food additive when it is in direct contact with food and is designated an “E” number; the nomenclature for nitrogen is “E941.”.

The work-from-home trend has created a demand for carbonated beverages in many regions, which positively impacted the market growth.

Soft drinks, sparkling water (seltzer water), and carbonated wine, which has many of the same characteristics as fermented sparkling wine but is less costly to make, are examples of carbonated beverages. During carbonation, carbon dioxide is added to the liquid in a carbonator, where vaporized carbon dioxide is mixed under pressure with temperature-controlled water. Syrups, sweeteners, and other ingredients are then added to create the final product. This phenomenon is what makes soft drinks bubbly and fizzy. Beer is also one of the major carbonated alcoholic beverages, but beer manufacturers generally use the carbon dioxide that is produced during the fermentation process. Carbonation can also drive out the oxygen, which can make a beverage shelf-stable as long as it is sealed, keeping aerobic microbes away.

The popularity of carbonated beverages plays a crucial role in driving market growth. As carbonation increases the shelf-life of these beverages, manufacturers are increasingly using carbon dioxide, thereby increasing the scope for food-grade gases.

North America is projected to reach USD 3.4 Billion during the forecast period.

Key countries identified in the North American food-grade gases market include the US, Canada, and Mexico. The North American food-grade gases market is projected to witness significant growth due to the huge pork and beef industry and the increasing consumption of RTE and bakery food products. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), there were about 38,000 food processing and manufacturing companies present in the US in 2019. This growing food & beverage processing sector in the US is expected to fuel the demand for food-grade gases, especially for packaging and carbonation. According to a report published by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Canada) in 2017, about 168 million tons of food is wasted or lost in North America every year. Food-grade gases such as nitrogen serve as a cheaper preservative that enhances the shelf life of food products by keeping oxygen out and preventing spoilage.

In North America, the US was the largest market for food-grade gases, which accounted for a share of 84.8% in the North American market in 2019. The US has witnessed tremendous growth in the import and export of perishable products as well. It is one of the largest exporting countries in terms of seafood. Also, according to the FAO, the US is the second-largest milk producer in the world. This creates a demand for food-grade gases for freezing and chilling this highly perishable product. In 2022, revenue in the Convenience Food industry is expected to be USD 48.32 billion. The market is predicted to expand by 2.65% every year. Volume in the Convenience Food market is estimated to reach 5,993.8 m kg by 2027

The key players in this market include Air Products & chemicals, Inc (US), Cryogenic gases (US), American Welding & Gas (US).
