Gas Equipment Market Size and Forecast, 2025-2035 (USD Billion)
Gas delivery systems accounted for the largest equipment share in 2025, at 22.40%, because pipelines, manifolds, and distribution panels are needed wherever gases are used in industry, healthcare, and electronics. North America accounted for 33.60% of revenue in 2025, supported by industrial gas, LNG, and healthcare infrastructure, and a large equipment manufacturing base. Industrial gas use in electronics, metals, and chemicals; hydrogen and LNG projects; the expansion of semiconductor factories that require ultra-high-purity gas systems; and on-site nitrogen and oxygen generation that substitutes transported cylinders are the main demand drivers. Consolidation is transforming the sector through the acquisitions of Chart Industries by Baker Hughes and gas generation companies by Atlas Copco.

The gas equipment market is projected to grow from USD 84.60 billion in 2025 to USD 154.39 billion by 2035 because industrial, healthcare, and electronics users install more gas delivery, control, and generation equipment. Hydrogen and LNG projects need cryogenic and high-pressure systems. The market is expected to reach USD 114.29 billion by 2030 due to the demand for high-value equipment from semiconductor manufacturing and on-site gas generation, with a CAGR of 6.20% from 2026 to 2035.
- Analyst View: We built the estimate from spending on gas handling equipment by end-use industry and gas type, based on industrial gas consumption, new plant and fab construction, LNG and hydrogen projects and replacement of installed equipment, valued at factory-gate prices. Equipment mix reflects delivery systems, cryogenic products, regulators, flow devices, generators, purifiers and detection systems used in each application. The total was cross-checked against the gas equipment revenue of leading equipment makers and industrial gas companies and against published estimates, which places our base year slightly above the comparable figures. The growth rate, which is controlled by industrial cycles, represents consistent industrial demand as well as higher development in semiconductors, hydrogen, LNG, and on-site generation.
Market Trends
- On-site gas generation is replacing delivered cylinders.
- Hydrogen projects need high-pressure and cryogenic equipment.
- Semiconductor fabs require ultra-high-purity gas systems.
- Gas detection is becoming connected and continuous.
- Equipment makers are consolidating through acquisitions.
- LNG and small-scale liquefaction drive cryogenic demand.
Drivers, Restraints and Opportunities
Driver
Industrial gas use in metals, chemicals, food, and electronics keeps growing, and every application needs delivery, control, and safety equipment. Hydrogen, LNG, and carbon capture projects require cryogenic and high-pressure systems. Semiconductor fabs need ultra-high-purity gas handling.
Restraint
Due to lower capital expenditures, industrial recessions result in lower investment in new machinery. Uncertainty results from delayed hydrogen projects. New product development is more expensive and takes longer due to safety regulations and certifications.
Opportunity
Gas generation at a facility can serve as an alternative for cylinder and bulk gas delivery. New equipment will be required for hydrogen refueling, electrolysis, and storage.

Research Methodology
The gas equipment market was defined as equipment for generating, storing, delivering, controlling, purifying, and detecting industrial, medical, and specialty gases worldwide, valued at factory-gate prices. The 2025 base year was built bottom-up from gas consumption, project spending, and equipment replacement by end user, gas type, and equipment category, and checked top-down against the gas equipment revenue of leading equipment makers and industrial gas companies. Segment, regional, and company values were allocated from equipment types, gases, end users, and regional industrial activity. Key figures used in the calculations have been validated using the comparison between company figures, regulator and industry information, and independent third-party estimates. All segment, regional, and company figures were reconciled to the same 2025 base year, and the 2026-2035 forecast, which applies a constant CAGR from the 2025 base, was recalculated and validated.
Analyst View: Overall Market
The gas equipment market grows with industrial gas use and with new investment in hydrogen, LNG, and semiconductors. Our estimate ties demand to gas use, capital expenditure, and replacement by the end user and equipment. This means that our outlook will follow the industry cycle and energy projects. The positives are tied to power generation, hydrogen and electronics, whereas the negatives are industrial cycles and delayed projects.
