Liquefied Carbon Dioxide Market Size and Forecasts (2021 - 2031), Global and Regional Share, Trends, and Growth Opportunity Analysis

MARKET ANALYSIS

Liquid carbon dioxide is a carbon dioxide gas which is highly compressed and cooled to a form a liquid state. The liquid state of carbon dioxide does not occur under atmospheric pressure due to which CO2 gas is transported, stored, and handled in liquid form, either in cylinders or non-insulated storage tanks. In the electronics industry liquefied carbon dioxide finds its application in television production to create homogenous cloud effects. Further, it is also consumed in entertainment industry to provide fog effects in movies.

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

The growing demand for liquefied carbon dioxide in the end use industries has aided the liquefied carbon dioxide market growth. The properties of liquefied carbon dioxide such as low viscosity, high density, and low cost makes it suitable for utilizing in industries such as food and beverages, chemicals, electronics, agriculture, healthcare, wastewater treatment, and others. Liquefied carbon dioxide in the end use industries is employed as cooling agent in food and beverages, and to offer visual effects in entertainment industry. The food industry highly relies on this liquid carbon dioxide for refrigeration, preservation, storage and softening of food products. It is also used in the production of soft drinks for softening and preservation purpose using pressurised carbon dioxide. Liquefied carbon dioxide has anti-flammable properties due to which it is used in fire extinguisher. Fire extinguishers used to extinguish electrical fires are specifically filled with liquid carbon dioxide. The pressurised gas results in cooling the burning surfaces thus, preventing further damage Further, the liquefied carbon dioxide is used in oil recovery to reduce the viscous nature of oil and allows the easy flow of oil in the wells. Hence, the emergence of this product as anti-flammable, cooling agent, etc in the manufacturing industries is expected to boost the market growth. However, the use of nitrogen as a alternative many create challenge in the growth of this market. Nitrogen could be used as a replacement to reduce some of the CO2 in counter pressure filling of the carbonated beverages and soft drinks.

In February 2021, INOX Air Products Ltd. announces India’s largest Greenfield investment of US$ 242.36 Mn in the industrial gases sector.

IMPACT OF COVID/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION

The covid-19 pandemic led to a decline in the progress of many industries across the globe. Shutdown of manufacturing plants and restricted trade across the globe led to supply chain constraints for the manufacturers across the globe. Liquefied carbon dioxide market experienced a slump during the pandemic owing to the limited trade of chemical products across the globe. Liquefied carbon dioxide is imported from countries across the globe, and this led to a limited availability of the product. Moreover, manufacturing activities also witnessed a decline during this period owing to the shortage of raw materials and limited supply of labor. However, the economies started reviving and the investment made by various government authorities to enhance the production facilities has led to overcoming the supply demand gap.
