[123 Pages Report] The laboratory gas generators market is projected to reach USD 508 million by 2024 from USD 279 million in 2019, at a CAGR of 12.7% during the forecast period. Growth in this market is mainly driven by the growing importance of analytical techniques in drug and food approval processes, increasing R&D spending in target industries, rising safety concerns related to the use of conventional gas cylinders, and the growing demand for hydrogen gas as an alternative to helium. The rising demand for laboratory automation and opportunities in the life science industry will also have a positive impact on market growth in the coming years. On the other hand, the reluctance to replace conventional gas supply methods with modern laboratory gas generators is a major factor challenging market growth.
On the basis of type, the market is segmented into nitrogen gas generators, hydrogen gas generators, zero air generators, purge gas generators, and others (oxygen gas generators, calibration gas generators, and dry air generators). The nitrogen gas generators segment accounted for the largest market share in 2019. The large share of this segment can be attributed to their advantages, including better efficiency, improved safety, and expandable and scalable nitrogen generation capacity. These generators are also cost-effective, and their compact design helps free up working space. Owing to these advantages, the demand for nitrogen gas generators is increasing among end users. Nitrogen gas generators are widely used in LC-MS applications.
On the basis of application, the market is segmented into gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), gas analyzers, and other applications [light scattering detectors, evaporators, microwave plasma-atomic emission spectrometers, and sample preparation instruments]. The GC segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, mainly due to its advantages such as convenience, safety, extended downtime, optimal analysis, and elimination of hazardous gas cylinders.
On the basis of end user, the market is segmented into pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, chemical & petrochemical companies, food & beverage companies, other end users (environmental companies and research & academic institutions). The pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies segment commanded the largest share of the market in 2018. Factors such as the rising demand for laboratory analytical instruments, rising drug research activities, stringent drug discovery regulations, and lab automation are contributing to the large share of this end-user segment.
On the basis of region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia, and the Rest of the World (RoW). In 2018, North America accounted for the largest share of the market, followed by Europe. However, Asia is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Market growth in this region is primarily driven due to the significant outsourcing of clinical trials to Asian countries, among other factors.
The market is a highly diversified and competitive market, with a large number of players, including mid-tier companies and startup firms, competing for market shares. The prominent players in the global market include Parker Hannifin Corporation (US), Peak Scientific Instruments Ltd. (UK), Praxair Technology, Inc. (UK), Nel (Norway), F-DGSi (France), VICI DBS (US), LNI Swissgas Srl (Switzerland), LabTech S.r.l. (Italy), Claind S.r.l. (Italy), and ErreDue s.p.a. (Italy).
Peak Scientific Instruments Ltd. (UK): Peak Scientific is one of the prominent players in the market. The leading position of the company can be attributed to its strong brand recognition and extensive product portfolio in this market. Peak Scientific has two decades of experience in manufacturing laboratory gas generators, which gives it an edge over other players in this market.
The company majorly focuses on organic growth strategies to maintain its foothold in the market. For instance, the company launched a range of gas generators in 2018, such as Solaris XE, Genius XE, Halo Nitrogen Generator, and Precision Series. To widen its geographic presence and meet the growing customer demand, the company expanded its presence in the European and Asian markets.
