Liquid Nitrogen Market | Size Market Share, Trends, Growth, Opportunities, and Market Forecast To 2022


Market Introduction
After the careful analysis of the current trends across the globe, the worldwide collection of liquid nitrogen market will be USD 17 Billion by 2022. The market size is set to expand at a CAGR of approximately 6% during the forecast period (2017-2022).
Growth Factors and Key Barriers
The primary drivers in the market growth include the surging demand in the chemical industry, especially in Asia Pacific. Liquid nitrogen also finds numerous applications in pharmaceuticals & biotechnology, food & beverage, healthcare, metal manufacturing, etc. among others.
Increasing Application in Healthcare Industry                                                          
Liquid nitrogen refers to nitrogen that is in liquid state and is produced at low temperatures, by the fractional distillation of air. Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic fluid that has widespread use in the healthcare industry for applications such as cryotherapy, cryosurgery, etc. In the healthcare sector, it can also be used for preserving and transportation of tissues, blood platelets, cells, along with the cooling of magnets in magnetic resonance imaging. Thus, with the continuous developments within the healthcare industry, the demand for liquid nitrogen is set to rise, augmenting the market position of liquid nitrogen.
Accelerated Demand in Chemical Industry
Liquid nitrogen can be utilized as a coolant in freezing as well as for the transportation of chemicals and liquids in the chemical industry. Also, the product is used for freezing medicines and formulations, maintaining the required cold reaction temperatures in pharmaceutical industry and for cooling the reactors that are filled with catalyst during repair works. Besides this, liquid nitrogen is used in food & beverages industry in the mechanical freezing systems such as refrigeration units for the preservation and transportation of food. As the global population rises at an alarming rate, the evolving industrial activities are leading to an increasing consumption of liquid nitrogen. Hence, the sum of all these factors will play a prominent role in the growth of the liquid nitrogen market in the years to come.
Market Segmentation
The market for liquid nitrogen is segmented on the basis of function, production technology, and end-use.
The liquid nitrogen market, on the basis of function, is segmented into coolant and refrigerant. Out of these, coolant will be surging with the largest market share during the forecast period, on account of the fact that low temperature liquid nitrogen is an ideal coolant that is used across various industries.
Depending on the production technology, the market is considered for cryogenic distillation and pressure swing adsorption. Here, cryogenic distillation is poised to note the largest market share since it is mostly used for high purity oxygen, argon and nitrogen across various industries.
The end-users in the liquid nitrogen market are chemicals, pharmaceutical, food and beverage and others. The chemicals & pharmaceutical segment, among all the end-users, will be showcasing a lucrative growth pattern as a result of the expanding pharmaceutical industry around the world.
Regional Insight
Region-wise, the global Liquid Nitrogen Market can be segmented into Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), North America, and the Rest of the World (ROW).
Dominating the global market is the region of North America, which notes the rising developmental activities along with the surge in the number of manufacturers and suppliers in the region. In addition to this, frozen ice-cream is one of the most popular food products in the region, which elevates the demand for liquid nitrogen as it is used for producing frozen ice-cream.
The fastest-growing region in the global liquid nitrogen market is set to be Asia Pacific, backed by the increasing development activities as well as the quick pace of the economy in the region. Expanding population size and improving living standards is bolstering the market demand in construction, food & beverages, pharmaceutical and electronics sectors. China is considered to be the largest producer as well as supplier of LN2 in the region, supported by rapid urbanization and people migrating to urban cities with higher earnings.
The constantly expanding chemicals and metal manufacturing industries that supply raw materials for manufacturing and construction sector will be instrumental in the growth of the regional market in Europe. Also, massive demand for coolants in countries like Germany and France will provide a significant push to the market in the region in the forthcoming years.
