Global Carbon Dioxide Market is valued at approximately USD 11.11 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 3.6% over the forecast period 2024-2032. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a versatile chemical compound composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, known for its greenhouse gas properties and its significant role in the carbon cycle. Despite being present in low concentrations in the atmosphere, CO2 is vital for various industrial applications, including hydrogen production through steam reforming of natural gas, ethanol production via fermentation, and numerous others.
The compound's adaptability is evident in its wide range of uses, such as an acidifying agent in water treatment, an inert gas in metalworking and fire suppression, a solvent in oil recovery, and cooling applications. One of the prominent factors driving the market growth is the increasing demand for carbonated beverages, which significantly boosts CO2 consumption.
The adoption of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology is a critical trend propelling market growth. CCS technology captures CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion in electricity generation, cement manufacturing, and biomass power plants, preventing these emissions from entering the atmosphere. CO2 has diverse applications in the medical industry, such as stabilizing body cavities during minimally invasive surgery, respiratory stimulation, tissue freezing, and tooth sensitivity assessment. Additionally, the food & beverage industry uses CO2 for carbonating beverages and freezing meat & poultry, contributing to the rising demand for CO2 from packaged food & beverage producers.
Transportation challenges pose a significant hurdle to market growth. Pipelines, the primary mode for CO2 transport, require high maintenance and are subject to leakage risks, which can hinder market expansion. Additionally, protocols like the Kyoto Protocol, aimed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions, may further restrict the carbon dioxide market growth during the forecast period.
The key regions considered for the Global Carbon Dioxide Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific is a dominating region in the Global Carbon Dioxide Market in terms of revenue. The market growth in the region is being attributed to factors including due to high demand from the food & beverage and medical industries. China, as a major manufacturing hub, significantly contributes to the region's demand for CO2. The market in India is also growing, driven by increased beverage consumption due to a rising population and higher disposable incomes. Whereas, the market in North America is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period fueled by demand for oil recovery applications. The well-established infrastructure and rising awareness of environmental issues further support market growth in this region.
