In addition, the demand from growing end-use industries, such as food and beverages and medical sectors, is expected to boost the CO2 market during the forecast period. In the U.S., one of the world’s leading markets for CO2, revenue is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.8% in the coming years. This growth can be attributed to rising industrialization and the country’s expanding oil and gas industry.
The use of CO2 in the medical field is becoming increasingly important worldwide. CO2 gas is primarily employed as an insufflation agent in various surgical procedures, including arthroscopy, endoscopy, and laparoscopy. It helps inflate and stabilize cavities within the human body, improving the visibility of the surgical area. In addition, CO2 is utilized during surgeries to enhance blood flow to the brain and assist with respiration. For medical applications, CO2 is supplied with specially designed chromium-plated steel cylinders equipped with valves.
The harmful effects of carbon emissions in the atmosphere are significant contributors to global climate change. While countries worldwide have invested heavily in reducing carbon pollution by introducing innovations in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology and implementing carbon pricing in some areas, many nations still need to achieve their climate goals.
