Market Demand

Demand Trends Within the Country

  • Steel Mill Oxygen Supply

    Thailand relies on EAF steelmaking with no upstream iron production —VPSA oxygen cuts liquid oxygen procurement costs by over 50%.
  • Cement Decarbonization

    Thailand’s cement industry is transforming into a low-carbon production base, driving demand for oxygen-enriched combustion and alternative fuel systems.
  • Petrochemical & Refining

    Increased demand for nitrogen and hydrogen in petrochemical refining and chemical production fuels the need for high-purity gas separation.
  • Hydrogen Economy Buildout

    Thailand has set ambitious climate goals to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, with hydrogen and ammonia officially designated as “fuel oils” under the Fuel Oil Control Act in October 2025.
