Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The superior properties of acetylene is notably driving the acetylene gas market growth, although factors such as volatility in raw material prices may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the acetylene gas industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Acetylene Gas Market Driver
The superior properties of acetylene is a major factor driving the global acetylene gas market share growth. The high demand for acetylene in the metal fabrication industry is attributable to the superior properties of acetylene. The gas is the most effective for oxyacetylene cutting, heat treatment, oxy-welding, gas welding applications, brazing, soldering, flame heating, flame straightening, flame gouging, and flame cleaning. Acetylene gas has the highest flame temperature of all hydrocarbons available in the market. Acetylene's flame is the third hottest next only to dicyanoacetylene and cyanogen. It is among the hottest and most efficient of all gases in welding applications. It is the only fuel gas which is hot enough to weld steel. It is used to achieve a flame temperature of around 5,594 F releasing about 55 kJ/liter of energy. It is lighter than air; therefore, has the least tendency to accumulate at the lower levels. It is the only fuel gas that is used to weld steel. Such factors will positively drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Key Acetylene Gas Market Trend
The inorganic expansion and increase in M&A activities is another factor supporting the global acetylene gas market share growth. Major vendors in acetylene and other industrial gases market are increasingly relying on inorganic expansion for growth. They are either acquiring the operations of their competitors or are merging with the other prominent vendors. Inorganic growth is preferred in the acetylene gas business as it gives an immediate gestation for investment while providing access to the existing customer base and distribution network of the acquired company. Another major trend observed is that there is an increased emphasis on enhancing their distribution reach to gain wider access to small- and medium-scale customer base. Such forward integration strategies by vendors ensure an increased top line while imparting a competitive advantage in terms of distribution reach. Vendors are increasingly placing emphasis on focused growth strategy; wherein, they tend to strengthen their operations and improve operational efficiencies in their sales territories. In view of the same, an increase in acquisition in core geographies and divestments in non-focused business segments is observed. Due to such reasons, the market will continue to grow during the forecast period.
Key Acetylene Gas Market Challenge
The volatility in raw material prices will be a major challenge for the global acetylene gas market share growth during the forecast period. One of the most important consumer-driven factors in the selection of material in the automotive industry is its cost. In the acetylene gas market, the price of raw materials fluctuates significantly. Acetylene is mainly formed from the partial combustion of methane, which is obtained from hydrocarbon products such as naphtha, crude oil, coal, natural gas, and bunker C oil. It is also obtained as a by-product from the ethylene stream during the cracking of hydrocarbons. The main source of acetylene is petroleum products. The other important raw material is calcium carbide. The prices of these materials vary in tandem with the prices of natural gas and crude oil. Because of the decline in crude oil prices, many offshore drilling companies have begun cutting costs by reducing the size of their operation. This has affected the revenue of vendors and the market. Therefore, this price volatility has increased the uncertainty in the market, thereby posing a challenge to the market growth.
This acetylene gas market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
The outbreak of COVID-19 slowed down the growth of the market in 2020, as it hit the operations and services of various industries, which led to an economic slowdown in 2020. Moreover, the supply chain of the market was disrupted in 2020 due to mandatory lockdowns imposed by government authorities in this region. Chemical industries and manufacturing units were shut down in this region, which led to market disruptions in APAC in 2020. Although complete lockdown restrictions were lifted in Q4 of 2020, partial lockdowns and night curfews are still being imposed in some countries, such as India, due to the growing number of COVID-19 cases. This is expected to slow down market growth in APAC during the forecast period.
