A Clear View of the Local Market Landscape
Vietnam’s industrial gases market is estimated at USD 280 million in 2025 and is expected to grow to USD 340 million by 2032, registering a CAGR of around 2.81%. Oxygen dominates with a 40% market share, driven by rapid expansion in steel, cement, and manufacturing. Vietnam has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, accelerating demand for energy-efficient gas generation.
Demand Trends Within the Country
-
Steel Oxygen Enrichment
Vietnam’s crude steel output reached nearly 22 million tons in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 14% — blast furnace oxygen enrichment is critical for cost reduction and capacity expansion. -
Cement Decarbonization
Vietnam’s pilot emissions trading scheme requires producers in cement, steel, and thermal power to purchase emissions allowances based on carbon intensity — driving demand for oxygen-enriched combustion and alternative fuels. -
Hydrogen Economy Buildout
Vietnam’s Hydrogen Energy Strategy targets green and blue hydrogen production of 100,000–500,000 tons/year by 2030 and 10–20 million tons/year by 2050, creating massive PSA-H₂ demand. -
VPSA Oxygen Generation Shift
Rising electricity and liquid oxygen costs push Vietnamese manufacturers toward VPSA oxygen — cutting supply costs by over 50% vs. purchased liquid oxygen.
