Technology Insights

Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. This technology provides air separation process from gases without liquefaction. Rising demand for pressure swing technology owing to its low operating cost is expected to boost the market over next eight years. Increasing investments by companies such as Air Products & Chemicals Inc. and Praxair for the development of liquid nitrogen technologies is projected to propel the market over the forecast period.

Linde is one of the major companies which designs and supplies pressure swing adsorption technology. Nitrogen production installation at CP Kelco incorporated by Linde’s ECOVAR ADSOSS-N gas generation plant separates nitrogen from air using adsorption-based PSA process.

Function Insights

In medicine, LIN is used as a refrigerant to maintain low temperatures in biological materials and cryobanks, for instance, cryocans, portable devices store semen at extremely low temperatures. It is also used to store reproductive cells such as sperm & egg, preserve blood, and tissue samples.

Where as in research LN2 is used to freeze vacuum units and store cellular materials. In cooking, liquid nitrogen is used to make desserts and other related items along with storage and transportation of food products. Rising application areas of LN2 as refrigerant is expected to spur this industry over the next eight years.

End-use Insights

Liquid nitrogen is used to chill, cool, preserve, and freeze the items in food & beverage industry. Its properties help in increasing the shelf life of the products. Due to non-adverse effects on the environment and low initial investment cost on equipment over conventional mechanical freezers, it is widely expected to be used in the food & beverage industry over the forecast period.

Major areas where liquid nitrogen is used by the food industry is freezing of bakery products, meat, poultry, fish in addition to prepared meals, vegetables, and fruits. Other end-users include cryotheraphy, automotive, and electronic sectors. In electronics, it is used as a cooling agent in manufacturing products.

Regional Insights

China is the largest producer and supplier of LN2 in this region. China’s rapid urbanization is supported by strong economic growth. People in the country are migrating to urban cities with higher earnings. Asia Pacific was the second largest segment following North America, which accounted for around 23% of the total market revenue in 2016.

Rising developmental activities in Asia Pacific is projected to propel the market over the forecast period. Growing income levels is expected to boost the demand for high-end electronic products. Increasing growth in chemicals and metal manufacturing industries to supply the raw materials for manufacturing and construction sector is anticipated to augment the market.
