THE MARKET DRIVERS

The key trends that are shaping the global IMS gases (or combinely called the industrial gases) market include the global economic growth in the recent past, increasing production indexes and most importantly the demand for these gases by both developed as well as the developing nations in the industries such as Energy, Environment, Healthcare, Electronics and Outsourcing Gas Supply. The key factors of growth in these industries are briefly explained below.

Energy Industry

Main growth drivers in the energy industry include enhanced oil recovery to maximize oil reserves, hydrogen for refineries to comply with stringent fuel emissions legislation and heavier crude feedstock, and gasification projects in several countries striving to find alternate sources of energy motivated by a desire for greater energy self sufficiency. Continued increases in global energy demand thus create significant demand for industrial gases in the refining and gasification production processes.

The oil and gas industry is now facing challenges such as heavier crude oil feedstock which making difficult to extract and refine and stringent emission control standards. As the oil fields are getting older, the difficulty of extracting the crude oil is also growing. Enhanced oil recovery technologies are being used to recover crude oil more easily, improve yields and also reduce environmental impact. Industrial gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide play crucial role in enhanced oil recovery. When injected into low pressure or underperforming reservoirs, nitrogen or carbon dioxide can improve oil flow and increase yields. CO2 or N2, in certain conditions, can become miscible with crude oil and reduce the viscosity of the oil and thereby further enhancing recovery.

In the refining industry, environmental legislations are playing crucial role in reducing the sulfur content to produce cleaner burning fuels. These legislations are driving demand for hydrogen in refining processes to break up heavier hydrocarbons and reduce sulfur content. Hydrogen is used to process crude oil into refined fuels, such as petrol and diesel, and for removing contaminants, such as sulfur, from these fuels. The other driver for hydrogen growth in refineries is increased consumption of low quality heavy crude oil, which requires more hydrogen to refine.

Soaring demand for power and desire for greater energy self sufficiency, countries such as China are now investing in alternative source of energy. China, with abundant coal reserves is now leading the way in coal gasification technologies. Also in other parts of the world, rising energy prices have forced to search for alternative sources, such as the United States with the exploitation of shale gas.
