中東工業氣體：市場佔有率分析、產業趨勢與統計及成長預測（2026-2031 年）

根據 Mordor Intelligence 預測，中東工業氣體市場規模將從 2025 年的 5,717 萬噸成長到 2026 年的 5,909 萬噸，到 2031 年將達到 6,968 萬噸，2026 年至 2031 年的複合年成長率為 3.36%。

本報告按產品類型（氮氣、氧氣、二氧化碳等）、終端用戶產業（化學加工和精煉、電子和半導體、食品和飲料加工等）以及地區（沙烏地阿拉伯、阿拉伯聯合大公國等）進行細分。市場預測以數量（噸）為單位。

中東工業氣體市場趨勢與洞察

上游和中游油氣作業需求激增

生產技術的進步、酸性氣體處理以及新建液化天然氣（LNG）工廠的運作，正推動高純度氮氣、氫氣和二氧化碳（CO₂）需求的成長。沙烏地阿美和阿布達比國家石油公司（ADNOC）正在增建分離裝置，用於注入氮氣以維持壓力，並為加氫裂化提供氫氣，使每桶原油的天然氣用量加倍。預計到2030年，卡達原油產量將達2,440億立方米，工業氣體需求將額外增加830億立方米，增幅達57%。哈伊勒和加薩等海上計畫每年需要捕捉150萬噸二氧化碳，因而帶動了煉油設備需求的成長。因此，上游領域的持續活躍正輻射到整個價值鏈的現場供應合約中。

擴大區域石化和煉油資本投資計劃

沙烏地阿拉伯耗資110億美元的阿米拉爾綜合體等項目整合了煉油和化學產業，導致單位原料的天然氣需求增加。該綜合體計劃年產165萬噸乙烯，需要大量的氮氣用於惰性，氧氣用於氧化，以及氫氣用於加氫處理。新建設正將生產重心轉向特種聚合物，而特種聚合物的生產需要超高純度氣體進行混合和品管。這些工廠內安裝的碳捕集模組增加了對煉油和壓縮設備的需求，需要在實現環保目標的同時提高營運效率。

更嚴格的環境、健康與安全法規與合規成本

區域性法律正逐步與國際標準接軌，要求進行詳細的環境影響評估並制定更嚴格的燃燒限制。阿拉伯聯合大公國聯邦第24號法律強制要求在從生產到處置的整個生命週期內進行排放報告，衛星影像顯示監管機構正在嚴厲打擊非法排放。英國廣播公司（BBC）的一項調查揭露了沿岸地區多家設施上空瀰漫著有毒煙霧，這加速了封閉式燃燒和高效捕集系統的應用。為滿足99%或更高的二氧化碳純度儲存要求，小規模供應商的資本和營運成本不斷增加，促使擁有完善合規體系的公司進行整合。

細分市場分析

2025年，氧氣在中東工業氣體市場佔比達28.74%，主要受鋼鐵製造商、石化企業和鋁提煉的需求驅動。預計到2031年，氮氣將以4.44%的複合年成長率成為成長最快的氣體，這主要得益於食品包裝、電子焊接以及石油開採中惰性應用領域氮氣需求的不斷成長。二氧化碳的出貨量成長主要歸功於提高採收率（EOR）和飲料碳酸化技術的應用，而氫氣的需求則受益於煉油廠設備的升級改造和電力燃料需求的成長。氬氣用於支援大型專案的焊接作業，而氦氣的需求則主要來自磁振造影（MRI）和半導體光刻技術。液化空氣集團在卡達建造的氦氣液化工廠旨在緩解長期存在的供不應求。林德集團強調，已轉向分散式生產模式，並透過2024年運作59座小規模現場製氮製氧裝置來加強與客戶的合作。

該領域的演變反映了市場需求從以銷售主導的通用氣體供應轉向以純度主導的特種氣體需求。建築、能源和消費品產業推動了氧氣和二氧化碳的銷售，而無污染燃料、電子產品和包裝食品產業則促進了氮氣和氫氣的成長。在中東工業氣體市場，能夠為終端用戶提供穩定供應和成本保障的現場供應模式正在不斷發展壯大。

第7章 市場機會與未來展望

According to Mordor Intelligence, the Middle-East industrial gases market size is expected to grow from 57.17 Million tons in 2025 to 59.09 Million tons in 2026 and is forecast to reach 69.68 Million tons by 2031 at 3.36% CAGR over 2026-2031.

This report is Segmented by Product Type (Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and More), End-User Industry (Chemical Processing and Refining, Electronics and Semiconductor, Food and Beverage Processing, and More), and Geography (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and More). The Market Forecasts are Provided in Terms of Volume (Tons).

Middle-East Industrial Gases Market Trends and Insights

Surging Demand from Upstream and Mid-Stream Oil and Gas Operations

Enhanced recovery, sour-gas treatment, and new LNG trains are lifting usage of high-purity nitrogen, hydrogen, and CO2. Saudi Aramco and ADNOC add separation plants that inject nitrogen for pressure maintenance and hydrogen for hydrocracking, multiplying gas intensity per barrel processed. Qatar expects output to reach 244 billion m3 by 2030 with an extra 83 billion m3 of industrial gas needs, equal to 57% of forecast growth. Offshore projects such as Hail and Ghasha require 1.5 million t of captured CO2 each year, sharpening demand for purification units. Continuous upstream activities therefore cascade into on-site supply contracts across the value chain.

Expanding Regional Petrochemicals and Refinery CAPEX Pipeline

Projects like the USD 11 billion Amiral complex in Saudi Arabia integrate refining with chemicals, lifting gas demand per feedstock unit. The complex targets 1.65 million t of ethylene annually, calling for large volumes of nitrogen for inerting, oxygen for oxidation, and hydrogen for hydrotreating. New builds move product slates toward specialty polymers, which need ultra-high purity gases in compounding and quality control. Carbon capture modules inside these plants raise the call for purification and compression equipment, aligning environmental targets with operational efficiency.

Tightening EH&S Regulations and Compliance Costs

Regional laws are aligning with international benchmarks, requiring detailed environmental impact reviews and strict flaring limits. The UAE's Federal Law 24 mandates cradle-to-grave emission reporting, and satellite imagery shows regulators increasing enforcement against illegal venting. BBC investigations uncovered toxic plumes over several Gulf facilities, prompting faster adoption of sealed combustion and high-efficiency capture systems. Meeting >99% CO2 purity for storage elevates capital and operating costs for small suppliers, encouraging consolidation among firms with robust compliance infrastructure.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

1. Accelerated Build-Out of Healthcare Infrastructure (Medical Gases)
2. Rise of Government-Backed Green-Hydrogen Mega-Projects
3. Crude-Oil Price Volatility Curbing New Industrial Investments

Segment Analysis

Oxygen accounted for 28.74% of Middle-East industrial gases market share in 2025, driven by steel mills, petrochemicals, and aluminum smelting. Nitrogen is set to grow fastest at a 4.44% CAGR to 2031 on expanded use in food packaging, electronics soldering, and inerting for oil recovery. Carbon dioxide volumes rise with enhanced oil recovery and beverage carbonation, while hydrogen sees tailwinds from refinery upgrades and electro-fuels. Argon supports welding during giga-project construction, and helium demand stems from MRI and semiconductor lithography. Air Liquide's helium liquefaction build in Qatar aims to ease chronic shortages. Linde commissioned 59 small on-site nitrogen and oxygen plants in 2024, highlighting a shift toward distributed production that tightens customer integration.

The segment's evolution shows a pivot from volume-driven commodity supply to purity-driven specialty demand. Construction, energy, and consumer goods shape oxygen and carbon dioxide sales, while clean fuels, electronics, and packaged food tilt growth toward nitrogen and hydrogen. The Middle-East industrial gases market continues to deepen on-site models that provide steady offtake and cost certainty for end users.
