(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 29, 2020 ) The global food-grade gases market is estimated to be valued at USD 5.9 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 8.1 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2018 to 2023. The demand for food-grade gases is significantly increasing due to factors such as growing consumer preferences toward convenient food packaging, owing to their on-the-go lifestyles, and the growing number of microbreweries across all regions. The high cost associated with power and stringent government regulations to meet quality standards inhibits the growth of the food-grade gases market.

Strict Government regulations to meet quality standards is restraining growth of the market.

Legislations have been sanctioned in most countries in North America and Europe to protect food products from spoilage and contamination due to inferior manufacturing and refrigerated storage processes. Therefore, each country has appointed agencies to inspect consumer health issues and also inspect the type of material and processes used to deem whether they are considered safe for food & beverage operations. In the US, this is done by the FDA and in Canada, by the Food Inspection Agency. Regulations for food-grade gases are not uniform, even between countries in close proximity such as the US and Canada. Therefore, the Compressed Gas Association has created the standards document: CGA M-10 (2012) Food Safety Management Systems and Good Manufacturing Practices for food gas manufacturers. The document is to be used in combination with the federal, state, and provincial legal standards concerning food gas implementation.

Increasing demand from developing economies such as India and China will provide growth opportunity.

Significant opportunities for the food-grade gases market are present in developing economies such as China, India, and Latin American countries. A major factor fueling the demand for food-grade gases is the increasing consumer demand for chilled and frozen foods, which are becoming popular with the younger generation in emerging economies. The rise in middle-class population, rapid urbanization, increased spending power, and the increase in the number of working women have also spurred the demand for chilled & frozen foods. Food & beverage manufacturers are tapping into these markets due to the growing demand for processed foods, propelled by changing lifestyles of consumers who prefer convenience foods, availability of abundant raw material, cheap labor, governmental support to set up processing units for SMEs, and lower tariff duty. This growth is also fueled by new legislation in the retail environment, which gives foreign investors and multinational retail chains access to these markets. These retail chains have organized distribution across these markets, which provides opportunities for setting up food & beverage industries here. The rising importance given to food safety and quality of processed foods by the governments in these countries has increased the need to prevent the deterioration of food with the use of proper packaging technology and investment in refrigerated storage facilities.

The freezing and chilling segment is projected to account for the largest share in the food-grade gases market

The food industry’s key challenges are to avoid microbial deterioration and increase the shelf life of products. One of the most effective methods of fighting these microbes is by chilling & freezing the products. When the temperature is lowered below the freezing point, the growth of micro-organisms decreases rapidly. Freezing slows down many enzymatic processes as well, thereby making food products more shelf stable. Chilling a food product reduces the risk of bacterial growth. The freezing and chilling of foods are essential to prevent spoilage. As manufacturers, consumers, and retailers demand these technologies, the use of food-grade gases is expected to increase.

North America is estimated to dominate the food grade gases market, in terms of value, in 2018

The microbrewery culture is also on the rise in the North American market. There are multiple microbreweries present in the region. These microbreweries require carbon dioxide for beer dispensing. Also, the North American soft drinks market is one of the largest, with the presence of all the big brands such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. The soft drinks industry is one of the largest users of food-grade carbon dioxide for the carbonation of beverages.

The large beverage industry and rising trends of microbreweries create a huge demand for carbon dioxide in the North American region, with the US being the largest and fastest growing market. Also, because of the presence of highly organized retail chains and cold chain infrastructure, the North American market holds the largest market share in the food-grade gases market.
