How big is Industrial Oxygen Market in 2026?
The industrial oxygen market is estimated at USD 82.9 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 89.4 billion in 2026. Sales of industrial oxygen are expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% and reach USD 191.3 billion by 2036.
Industrial oxygen market share is concentrated in chemical plants and hospitals, and sales of industrial oxygen are estimated at USD 82.9 billion in 2025. In FMI's outlook, the industrial oxygen market will grow at a 7.9% CAGR through 2036, rising from USD 89.4 billion in 2026 to USD 191.3 billion. Gas producers are building air separation units beside the chemical, steel and chip plants that buy the gas. Air Liquide counted an investment backlog of EUR 6.0 billion across over 70 projects in July 2026, balanced between large industries and electronics.[1] Each unit will tie one plant to one supplier for years, moving more oxygen by pipeline at contracted prices.
A heat map of buyers puts chemical processing, at 35% share in 2026, and medical and healthcare, at 28%, in the hot zone, as both draw oxygen around the clock. Air Liquide reported 4.2% comparable growth in Healthcare sales for the first half of 2026, with home healthcare patient numbers rising in Europe.[1] Metallurgy and metal fabrication, an estimated 17.5%, runs warm and follows furnace campaigns. Automotive and aerospace shops, near 6.2%, stay cool, as cutting and welding lines buy cylinders in small lots. Suppliers will site new storage tanks beside hospital clusters and chemical parks first, serving cool buyers from shared cylinder depots.

| Market Expansion Multiple | 2.1x |
Demand for industrial oxygen reaches buyers through three routes, and each route runs to a different clock. Pipeline and on-site volume starts the day a new air separation unit is commissioned, bulk liquid follows hospital and merchant tank fills, and cylinder volume follows workshop activity. Linde reported second-quarter 2026 sales of USD 9,289 million, up 9%, with volumes up 2% mainly in electronics, manufacturing and chemicals and energy.[3] For the June quarter, Air Products put sales at USD 3,161.0 million on 3% higher volumes.[4] Stainless mills blow oxygen through argon oxygen decarburisation converters, and the stainless steel market is forecast to expand at a 5.4% CAGR, so mill orders will add steady tonnage. FMI estimates an added USD 101.9 billion of industrial oxygen sales by 2036, leaving the industrial oxygen market at 2.1 times the 2026 figure. Lower manufacturing volumes in Linde's EMEA region are the main near-term risk for merchant sales.[3]
On-Site Contracts, Chip Fabs and Merchant Liquid
Chip plants are the quickest-growing buyers at Air Liquide, as Electronics sales rose 6.2% in the first half of 2026, ahead of every other business line. Electronics investment decisions above EUR 1 billion were approved in the same half, including EUR 200 million for two units in Hiroshima.[1] A new long-term electronics supply contract in the United States brought the sale of gas backlog at Linde to USD 8.1 billion.[3] Chip makers buy wet chemicals and specialty gases alongside bulk gas, and the semiconductor process chemicals market is forecast to grow at an 11.8% CAGR, which keeps new fabs ordering cold boxes. Fab units produce nitrogen first, and the oxygen from the same cold box will go into local merchant tanks.
Merchant liquid is growing through new plants in Southeast Asia. Air Products agreed to build an LNG-based air separation unit at the Pengerang terminal in Johor for a PETRONAS Gas-led joint venture, producing over 600 tonnes of liquid oxygen, nitrogen and argon a day from early 2027.[5] NovaAir, the Malaysian subsidiary of Yingde Gases, commissioned a 300-tonnes-per-day liquid plant in Greater Kuala Lumpur in August 2026.[6] Two new liquid sources in one country will give Malaysian electronics plants and hospitals more suppliers to bid against each other.

Analyst Perspective
“I expect hospitals and chip plants to reward oxygen suppliers most over the next decade, as both pay for reliability and sign long terms. My advice to producers is to place liquid storage close to hospital clusters and pair that storage with on-site units at new fabs, as that mix will give the steadiest margins in industrial oxygen.”
- Nikhil Kaitwade, Principal Consultant, Future Market Insights.

|---|---|
| Liquefied Oxygen | 57% |
| Compressed Oxygen Gas | 43% |
| Total | 100.0% |
Table 4: Product Type Leadership and Market Growth for the Industrial Oxygen Market (segment and CAGR percentage), 2026 to 2036
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Global CAGR (2026 to 2036) | 7.9% |
| Leading Segment | Liquefied Oxygen |
A single tanker delivery of liquid replaces a large stock of cylinders, so hospitals, food plants and mid-sized mills keep a vacuum-insulated tank on site and draw gas through a vaporiser. Liquefied oxygen will lead product type with 57% share in 2026 on the strength of that bulk model. Compressed oxygen gas, at 43%, stays the choice for welding shops, clinics and remote sites using too little gas to justify a tank, and for buyers needing portable supply. Price is moving in favour of producers on both formats, as Air Liquide reported a 4.2% price effect in Industrial Merchant over the first half of 2026.[1] Buyers growing past a few cylinders a day will switch to bulk liquid, and cylinder sales will hold in workshops and home care.
- Bulk tanks at hospitals, food plants and glass furnaces make up the core of liquid oxygen deliveries.
- NovaAir commissioned a 300-tonnes-per-day liquid air separation unit in Greater Kuala Lumpur in August 2026, Bernama reported.[6]
Why does chemical processing lead industrial oxygen sales by end use?
Chemical processing is projected to lead end use with 35% share in 2026, ahead of medical and healthcare at 28% and metallurgy and metal fabrication at an estimated 17.5%.
Table 5: End Use Share for the Industrial Oxygen Market (percentage share), 2026
| End Use | Estimated Share (2026) |
|---|---|
| Chemical Processing | 35% |
| Medical and Healthcare | 28% |
| Metallurgy and Metal Fabrication | 17.5% |
| Energy | 8.4% |
| Automotive and Aerospace | 6.2% |
| Others | 4.9% |
| Total | 100.0% |
Ethylene oxide, titanium dioxide and gasification plants consume oxygen by the tonne every hour, so chemical processing is projected to lead end use with 35% share in 2026. Air Liquide committed over USD 200 million to a new partial oxidation unit at the Oxea site in Bay City, Texas, due to start in 2029.[1] Medical and healthcare, at 28%, buys smaller volumes per site, spread over many hospitals and home patients, and the oxygen therapy equipment market is likely to rise at a 6.9% CAGR as concentrators and home cylinders reach more patients. Metallurgy and metal fabrication, an estimated 17.5%, follows furnace campaigns, and global crude steel output fell 1.2% in August 2026.[2] Energy, near 8.4%, covers oxy-fuel combustion and gasification for power, a niche outside a few large projects. Automotive and aerospace users, an estimated 6.2%, cut and weld with cylinder oxygen, and pulp, water treatment and food processing make up the remaining 4.9%. Chemical complexes will keep the largest contracts, as one plant can absorb the full output of a dedicated unit.
- Ethylene oxide, gasification, titanium dioxide and refinery units draw most chemical oxygen.
- Ellenbarrie Industrial Gases secured a Rs 481 crore BHEL contract for a 1,200 TPD cryogenic unit at a coal-to-ammonium nitrate project in Odisha, Indian Chemical News reported on 29 September 2026.[7]
What are the drivers, restraints, and opportunities in the industrial oxygen market?
Long supply contracts with chemical plants and hospitals keep demand for industrial oxygen steady. Power costs at air separation plants and weak European manufacturing squeeze margins, and new chip fabs and gasification projects open fresh volume.
- Driver: Chemical and gasification units run around the clock on contracted oxygen, so every new project adds a fixed base of demand for industrial oxygen.
- Restraint: Electricity is the main cost of separating air, and producers on fixed-price contracts carry the gap when power prices rise faster than contract escalators.
- Opportunity: Chip fabs and home respiratory care both pay for supply security, which rewards producers able to build on-site units and run patient services.
Contracted Volume From Chemical and Steel Plants
Adoption of on-site oxygen follows the capital plans of large chemical and steel buyers, since a dedicated unit is built only against a signed offtake. Air Liquide agreed to invest over USD 350 million in an air separation unit for the Hyundai-Posco low-carbon steel plant in Louisiana.[1] Ellenbarrie will deliver a 1,200 TPD unit for a coal gasification project in Odisha over eight quarters.[7] Each signed offtake converts into oxygen volume in the year the unit starts, which gives producers visibility well beyond 2030.
Power Costs and Soft European Industry
Key challenges in the industrial oxygen market include electricity costs and weak factory output in Europe. Air Products reported a 2% fall in European volumes in the June quarter, offset by energy pass-through and pricing.[4] Linde's EMEA volumes were lower, mainly in manufacturing.[3] FMI expects European merchant producers to rely on price and energy pass-through clauses until factory output recovers.
Chip Fabs and Home Care Open New Volume
Growth of the industrial oxygen market will come partly from buyer groups that were small a decade ago. Air Liquide approved EUR 200 million for two units serving AI chip production in Hiroshima and nearly EUR 200 million for a nitrogen unit for SK hynix in South Korea.[1] Air Products San Fu signed a long-term agreement to build four large air separation units for a semiconductor manufacturer in Taiwan.[4] Each fab unit also yields oxygen for merchant sale, opening a new supply corridor for merchant liquid in chip clusters.
