The U.S. industrial nitrogen generator market size is expected to reach USD 2.82 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “U.S. Industrial Nitrogen Generator Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Design (Plug & Play, Cylinder-Based), By Size, By Technology Type, By End Use Industry – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

An industrial nitrogen generator is a piece of equipment that separates nitrogen from the air around it to provide a steady supply of nitrogen gas directly at a facility. This technology uses different methods, such as membrane separation, to filter the air and create high-purity nitrogen on demand. The main purpose of these generators is to provide businesses with a reliable and cost-effective alternative to traditional nitrogen gas cylinders, which require delivery and storage. These systems are used in a wide range of industries for various tasks, such as preserving products, preventing fires, and cleaning equipment.

Many companies in the U.S. industrial nitrogen generator market are shifting from using gas cylinders to generating their own nitrogen on-site to improve operational efficiency and cut costs. This is particularly noticeable in industries that have a continuous need for nitrogen for processes such as packaging and inerting. The market is being shaped by the increasing focus on safety, as on-site generation reduces the risks that come with handling high-pressure gas tanks. As a result, companies are adopting these generators to meet safety standards and improve their supply chain.

U.S. Industrial Nitrogen Generator Market Report Highlights:

By design, the plug and play segment held the largest share of the market in 2024. This is driven by its ease of use, quick installation, and the minimal infrastructure needed, which makes it a preferred choice for companies seeking a convenient and efficient solution.

By size, the stationary segment held the largest share of the market in 2024. These generators are built for high-volume, continuous operations, making them the most suitable and cost-effective option for large-scale facilities and industries with a constant demand for nitrogen.

By technology type, the pressure swing adsorption, or PSA, segment held the largest share of the market in 2024. This is attributed to its ability to produce a reliable supply of high-purity nitrogen at a lower operational cost, making it a popular choice across a wide range of industries, including food and beverage and electronics.

By end-use industry, the food and beverage segment held the largest share of the market in 2024. This is due to the extensive use of nitrogen for modified atmosphere packaging, which helps preserve food quality and extend shelf life, a crucial factor in the large and fast-paced U.S. food market.

A few key players in the U.S. industrial nitrogen generator market include Parker Hannifin Corporation; Atlas Copco Group; Ingersoll Rand; Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.; Air Liquide; Linde PLC; GENERON; HOLTEC Gas Systems; On Site Gas Systems, Inc.; South-Tek Systems; and VICI DBS.
