Gas and Liquid Argon Market Research Report Information by Type (Gas, Liquid), by Mixture (Ar-CO2, Ar-O2, Ar-He, Ar-H2, Others), by Function (Cooling, Illumination, Illusion), by End-use (Welding & Metal Fabrication, Automotive & Transportation, Food & Beverage, Healthcare, Electronics, Energy, Others), and Region - Forecast to 2030

Gas and Liquid Argon Market Overview The global gas and liquid argon market is projected to expand at a healthy CAGR of 5.52% during the assessment period (2021-2030). The market is expected to reach a valuation of USD 475.3 million by the end of 2028. Argon, an atomic number 18 noble gas, is extensively employed in metalworking applications to minimize contact between the metal and ambient elements, which could result in a reaction between the metal and air oxygen or nitrogen. This includes dying casting hot metals and metal alloys, where the increased heat can speed up interactions with ambient elements. It is also employed in welding carbon and stainless-steel alloys, where even the tiniest amount of nitrogen in the air can have a significant impact on the ductility and structural strength of the weld. Argon is also utilized in steel production for bubbling, which aids in the removal of impurities from the steel mix. While stirring, the consistency of the mixture's composition is ensured. The increased usage of argon in metalworking processes in the electronics and energy industries is expected to be a prominent driver for the worldwide gas and liquid argon market. Over the projected period, the expanding application scope of argon in the healthcare sector is expected to be a major contributor to the growth of the gas and liquid argon market. The increased use of structural adhesives instead of argon in welding operations, on the other hand, is expected to work against the worldwide gas and liquid argon market throughout the forecast period.

Recent DevelopmentBruker released a few novel apps in 2019 to improve its product category and expand its product portfolio. G6 Leonardo, for example, is an inert gas fusion analyzer. The machinery is dependable, precise, and cost-effective. The machine includes pre-calibrated standard procedures as well as argon, which helps to streamline a variety of industrial operations. Air Products stated in December 2018 that it would construct, own, and operate a new air separation unit (ASU) in Minnesota to create huge amounts of argon, oxygen, and nitrogen. Mostly for local customers and distributors, these will be accessible in liquid form.
