Food-Grade Gas Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The food-grade gas market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.61% to reach a market size of US$15.408 billion in 2030 from US$11.728 billion in 2025.
Food grade gases have an important role in the food and beverage industry and the agrogorod value chain. In food processing, gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide are used for preservation, ripening, spoilage prevention, freezing, chilling, carbonation, and many more applications in foods such as bakery and dairy items, beverages, fish and seafood, fruits, vegetables, meats, poultry, prepared meals, and more. In particular, refrigeration processes such as chilling, freezing, subcooling, hardening, or cryogrinding use cryogenic industrial gases such as liquid nitrogen.
Food-Grade Gas Market Drivers

Rising demand for convenience F&B and other applications is expected to drive the market.
Gases are also a key component of preserving minimally processed foods such as fish, meats, fruits, and vegetables. One food processing application that uses industrial gases is modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). In this process, a pure gas such as nitrogen or a gas mixture is placed as the breathable atmosphere in a package to slow down microbial growth or spoilage such as discoloration, oxidation, or moisture loss. Gases can create inert environments and, when combined with hermetic sealing, can also serve as evidence markers.
Owing to the growing demand for convenience food and beverages and exotic produce, the food-grade gas market is poised to witness exponential growth during the forecast. The baby boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z's consumption tendencies towards food and beverages, albeit varied, were marked by the curiosity of sampling exotic cuisines, trying fusion cookery, and so on. A mix of traditionalist and experimentalist consumers across all age groups frequented pubs, local eateries, bars, and fine dining establishments, along with other types of food and beverage establishments, are propelling market expansion.
Food-Grade Gas Market Geographical Outlooks:

The North American region is anticipated to hold a significant market share in the projected period.
North America is the largest market for food-grade gases, and this region will likely continue dominating the market through the forecast period. The demand for frozen and packaged foods is rising in this region, mainly due to the use of food-grade gases in preserving products, extending shelf life, and maintaining product quality. The increasing preference for convenience foods, especially in the U.S. and Canada, combined with a higher consumer spending capacity and well-developed food processing industries, further fuels demand.
