Asia-Pacific accounts for 39.8% of the global industrial gases market value.

As industrial gases have end-users in most global markets, there is a large number of buyers. These buyers tend to be major international companies which increase their buyer power as they can enter into contracts with market players. However, the large numbers of buyers present means that market players regain some power, as industrial gases are important to buyers. On the other hand, the undifferentiated product means that it is difficult to retain buyers. Suppliers are few in number meaning they can charge high prices for raw materials. There are few substitutes to industrial gases, as in many cases buyers purchase gases based on their specific physical and chemical properties, reducing the ability to use substitutes. Entrance to this market requires large capital investment in order to set up high-volume production plants. This essentially means that as well as high fixed costs, there are subsequent exit barriers causing the rivalry between market players to intensify.
