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.

Success Snapshot
-
Major Integrated Steel Mill
PKU Pioneer deployed a 62,500 Nm³/h VPSA-O₂ system for blast furnace oxygen enrichment, replacing costly liquid oxygen procurement. The VPSA equipment reduced oxygen cost by over 60%, saving the plant RMB 32 million ($4.5 million) annually.
-
Leading Cement Producer
Supplied a 5,000+ Nm³/h VPSA oxygen unit for oxygen-enriched combustion in multiple cement kilns. The client replaced part of coal with alternative fuels, reducing coal consumption by 20% and meeting new carbon emission targets.
