With increasing investments by governments and FII in electronics, packaging, and beverage manufacturing there is a rapid rise in the production of industrial gases across these sectors. Many industrial gases like oxygen act as a lifeline for industries which involve combustion. Recent advancements in technology and new industry openings across different sectors are boosting the Asia Pacific industrial gases market.
India and China ranked in the top 3 in terms of land area in the Asia-Pacific, with about 50-60% of this land being used for agricultural practices. Fertiliser is one such key element that plays an important role in this agricultural sector. Hydrogen gas acts as an active ingredient in the manufacturing of fertilisers, thus generating demand for industrial gases in the Asia Pacific.
Companies can now benefit from schemes like Make in India and the 2030 hydrogen mission in the Asia Pacific, allowing companies to use incentives for better production capability and price positioning in the market.

Messer completed the acquisition of WKS Group in Singapore and Malaysia and announced agreements to acquire Wipco and Kobewel in Malaysia. WKS operates packaged-gas filling stations, dissolved-acetylene plants, cylinder depots and distribution networks serving industrial customers, including the marine and offshore sectors. The transactions significantly expand Messer’s Southeast Asian footprint and strengthen its local production and distribution capabilities across industrial, specialty and packaged gases. The expansion strengthens regional supply infrastructure and increases Messer’s capacity to serve industrial-gas customers across Southeast Asia.
Air Liquide signed a long-term agreement with SK hynix to supply gases for its new advanced packaging and testing facility in Cheongju, South Korea. Air Liquide will invest nearly €200 million to build and operate a state-of-the-art nitrogen production unit for SK hynix’s P&T7 facility. The project is designed to support production of high-bandwidth memory used in artificial-intelligence applications, with operations planned for late 2027. The project is increasing demand for ultra-high-purity nitrogen and strengthening the industrial-gas sector’s role in Asia’s expanding semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.
Air Liquide announced a €200 million investment to build and operate two new industrial-gas production units in Hiroshima, Japan, under a long-term agreement with a global semiconductor manufacturer. The facilities will supply large volumes of ultra-high-purity nitrogen, oxygen and argon for advanced semiconductor production, particularly next-generation chips supporting artificial intelligence applications. Operations are scheduled to begin by the end of 2028, expanding Air Liquide’s dedicated semiconductor gas infrastructure in Japan. The investment is expanding high-purity gas production capacity and creating additional demand from Japan’s advanced semiconductor manufacturing sector, thus shaping new trends in the Asia Pacific industrial gases market.
INOX Air Products began construction of a ₹500-crore electronic specialty gas hub at Dholera, Gujarat, designed to support India’s growing semiconductor and electronics manufacturing ecosystem. The facility is intended to strengthen domestic availability of specialty gases required by high-tech manufacturing operations. The project forms part of India’s broader semiconductor-development push and represents an expansion beyond conventional bulk industrial gases into higher-value electronic and specialty gas applications. The investment is strengthening India’s domestic specialty-gas supply chain and opening new growth opportunities for high-purity gases used in semiconductor and electronics production.
A major Asia Pacific trend is the localisation of ultra-high-purity industrial gas production alongside semiconductor manufacturing facilities. Modern chip fabrication facilities need highly reliable sources of nitrogen, oxygen, argon, hydrogen, and specialty gases, leading to increased demands for proximity and purity. In July 2026, Air Products San Fu inked a deal for expansion of its gas supply infrastructure at new semiconductor fabrication plants and advanced package manufacturing sites in Taiwan, thanks to increased demands from AI and high-performance computing facilities. Air Liquide too is building carrier-gas plants in Singapore for semiconductor firms. These developments are shifting industrial-gas suppliers from conventional bulk delivery towards dedicated, long-term, fab-linked infrastructure.
Industrial-gas companies are increasingly building, owning and operating production units directly at customer sites rather than relying primarily on transported cylinders or bulk deliveries. This model provides semiconductor manufacturers with continuous supply while reducing logistics risks and maintaining stringent purity requirements. Linde’s April 2025 agreement with Samsung provides a clear example. Linde is adding an eighth on-site air separation unit at Samsung’s Pyeongtaek complex to supply nitrogen, oxygen and argon, alongside hydrogen from existing facilities, with supply scheduled from mid-2026. Such arrangements create long-duration customer relationships and make industrial gases an integral part of semiconductor plant infrastructure rather than simply an input material.
India’s semiconductor manufacturing push is creating a new demand centre for electronic-grade industrial and specialty gases. Rather than depending entirely on imported materials, suppliers are beginning to establish domestic purification, packaging and logistics capabilities. A major investment initiative worth ₹500 crore was announced by INOX Air Products in October 2025 for Dholera, Gujarat, which comprises an Electronic Specialty Gas Hub along with increased capacity for gas purification and import-oriented logistics. It is expected that the plant will provide ultra-pure nitrogen, oxygen, argon and hydrogen for use in the production of semiconductors and OSATs. This signals a broader transition in India from conventional industrial-gas consumption towards locally produced, semiconductor-grade gases supporting a developing electronics manufacturing ecosystem, thereby augmenting the growth of the Asia Pacific industrial gases market.
AI processors and advanced-node chips are creating demand not only for traditional bulk gases but also for highly specialised gas molecules used during semiconductor fabrication. According to Air Liquide, it has expanded its capabilities in Asia through the establishment of plants and contract agreements aimed at improving the production of advanced semiconductors. For instance, Air Liquide has established plants that supply critical molecules such as diborane in South Korea. These molecules are responsible for modifying the electrical properties of silicon used in semiconductor devices. In China, Air Liquide has signed 2025 agreement to supply nitrogen along with hydrogen. The trend is therefore broadening the Asia Pacific industrial-gas opportunity from volume-based atmospheric gases toward higher-value electronic specialty gases.
Industrial-gas suppliers are increasingly responding to supply-chain resilience requirements by expanding production within major Asian manufacturing clusters. This is particularly evident where semiconductor, electronics and advanced manufacturing supply chains are being diversified. Air Liquide’s 2025 investments in Singapore and China demonstrate this approach: the company is establishing additional local production for semiconductor customers, while its Singapore facilities incorporate automation and predictive-maintenance capabilities. Linde has similarly expanded its Asian electronics footprint, including South Korea and Taiwan. The emphasis is shifting from simply supplying gases at competitive prices to guaranteeing continuity, purity and operational reliability through geographically closer production assets and long-term contracts.
