Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The light-emitting diode (LED) manufacturing sector is highly dependent on high-purity gases is notably driving the specialty gases market growth, although factors such as the high cost of production and uncertain return on investments may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the specialty gases industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Specialty Gases Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the specialty gases market is the light-emitting diode (LED) manufacturing sector is highly dependent on high-purity gases. Gases such as ammonia, nitrogen, and hydrogen, which are of the highest purity, are impervious in the manufacture of high-volume LED. The presence of oxygen or moisture, even in parts per billion quantities, will affect the crystalline structure of an LED device. The electroluminescence of the device decreases as the moisture content in ammonia gas goes up. It also deteriorates the current-voltage characteristics of an LED device. These factors bring down the commercial value of the LED product, and therefore, the entire LED manufacturing sector depends on high-purity ammonia and hydrogen, among other gases, to fulfill their dire need for high-purity specialty gases.
Key Specialty Gases Market Trend
The innovations in storage design and packaging is a specialty gases market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years. Most specialty gases are packaged in cylinders at pressures of up to 300 barometers and are supplied to end-uses in volume variants of 1-50 liters. These cylinders are made of high-strength steel and aluminum to withstand high pressures, avoid leakages, and ensure maximum safety throughout transportation and storage. Distribution of specialty gases through this route is a cost-intensive process as transportation of these heavy cylinders incurs a large amount of energy in terms of fuel and packaging. Innovative gas packaging solutions are launched by companies such as Luxfer Group and Time Technoplast, while gas vendors such as Linde Group have already adopted composite cylinders in their distribution channel. Going forward, we expect a rise in innovation in-cylinder packaging and pressure valves and increased adoption by the major gas vendors.
Key Specialty Gases Market Challenge
The high cost of production and uncertain return on investments will be a major challenge for the specialty gases market during the forecast period. The production of noble gases through atmospheric air separation is an energy-intensive process, where noble gases are yielded in trace amounts, with major products being nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen. The major cost attributes in this business are energy, storage, and distribution costs. Of the three modes of distribution, tonnage, merchant, and packaged supplies, tonnage is a lucrative segment for vendors because of assured demand and low variable costs. Vendors are often finding it difficult to maintain an optimum mix of all three distribution modes to ensure maximum customer reach and profitability. In addition to the above issue, fluctuating energy prices and rising manpower expenses are severely challenging the profit margins of the major vendors in the global specialty gases market.
This specialty gases 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 2022-2026.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
In 2020, owing to the outbreak of COVID-19, the specialty gases market in North America witnessed slow growth. Due to lockdowns, operations in many end-user industries, such as construction and automotive, were halted. This reduced the demand for specialty gases in the region in 2020. However, in 2021, lockdowns were lifted, and end-user industries resumed their operations due to the initiation of vaccination drives. Moreover, the new government in the US has started investing in infrastructural projects.
