Global Industrial Gas Market 2018 – Expected to Reach $135 Billion – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Industrial
Gas Market Global Briefing 2018" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

The global industrial gas market is expected to reach around $135
billion in 2020.

This can be attributed to the expected increase in the global industrial
gas mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the coming years, building on a
strong year of activity in 2016 and 2015 where companies like Air
Liquide, Praxair acquired other companies at high values. Air Liquide
acquired Air Gas for $10.3 billion in May 2016. Industrial gas companies
are continuing to realign portfolios and pursue profitable inorganic
growth opportunities. in addition, M&A interest is likely to be fuelled
by stronger corporate balance sheets, liquid debt markets, and continued
favorable interest rates.

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the industrial gas market in
2017, accounting for around 39% market share. Western Europe was the
second largest region accounting for around 23% market share. Africa was
the smallest region accounting for around 4% market share.
