Government Policies Impact The Industrial Gas Market Both Ways

While break-neck industrialization is the biggest source of volume growth for industrial gases, government policies are also influential.

Emerging market manufacturing companies, such as those in the semiconductor, medical equipment and oil and gas industries, have often received support in the form of incentives and subsidies from national and state governments, and their growth has bolstered the market for industrial gases. Similarly, government investments in infrastructure have also led to a rise in demand for industrial gases. For instance, the Indian government provides 50% of the cost for development of infrastructure in electronic manufacturing clusters. These companies use gases such as helium to manufacture hard drives and semiconductors. The infrastructure construction companies themselves use carbon dioxide for welding iron and steel components in construction sites, thus increasing the demand for that gas.

In the developed economies such as Japan, the USA, and some countries in the European Union, national and state governments are supporting environmentally-friendly alternatives to polluting products. For instance, Japan offers subsidies for hydrogen-powered cars, so driving demand for that gas. In 2015 the Tokyo Metropolitan government began subsidizing 80% of the costs of building hydrogen stations. Under the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s plan, the city aims to have 100,000 hydrogen passenger vehicles, 100 hydrogen buses and 80 refueling stations by 2025. Buyers of fuel-cell vehicles in Tokyo will be entitled to about ¥1 million of subsidies, on top of the ¥2 million provided by Japan’s central government. The central government is planning hydrogen distribution facilities as it supports Toyota, which pioneered hybrid vehicles, to help popularize what the carmaker sees as the next generation of auto technology. Japan’s Prime Minister has said Japan intends to create a ‘hydrogen society’, with cells powered by the gas also powering homes and office buildings.

A Regulated Market

While some industrial gas producers benefit from government support, all are affected by government-imposed safety regulations and consequent costs. Most national and state governments have stringent laws associated with industrial gas manufacturing, storage and distribution in order to prevent accidents and contamination. For instance, the Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs) are regulations enforced by the US Food and Drug Administration to monitor the quality of medical gases. The CGMPs regulate proper monitoring and control of manufacturing processes and facilities in the medical gases industry. Again, the European Union safety regulation REACH (registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals) stipulates that all chemical substances must be registered. CLP (classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures) is another European Union safety regulation that focuses on the safety of consumers and workers. Complying with these regulations increases operational costs for industrial gas companies, increases which are passed on in prices or affect their profit margins and capacity to re-invest for further expansion.

Industrial Gases And Chemicals Market Compared

Industrial gases are themselves a segment of the larger chemicals market. The gas segment has been growing much faster than the wider market, a trend that is expected to continue despite acceleration of the chemicals market growth.
