ACETYLENE GAS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global acetylene gas market size was USD 5.76 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 5.94 billion in 2024 to USD 7.67 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific holds leading position in acetylene gas market share in 2023.

Calcium carbide and water are combined to form acetylene gas, which is then followed by the production of calcium carbonate. It is a highly flammable gas that may also be created from hydrocarbons like coal, crude oil, and naphtha. Acetylene has no color and is extremely combustible. As of right now, welding applications are the main use for acetylene gas. Welding is one of the main operations in almost any manufacturing or automation industry's plants.

Acetylene has a high melting point, which makes it ideal for use in welding and cutting processes. Large tanks are used to hold acetylene, and each tank can be used for welding. Dry cell batteries can also employ acetylene. Additionally, acetylene can be used to create a variety of compounds that are then applicable to a variety of businesses. Polyurethane polymers are one important product for which acetylene is extensively employed. This is simply one of the common goods that use acetylene.

COVID-19 Impact: Disturbances in Sales Causes Market Distortion

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with acetylene gas industry experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

For manufacturers of chemicals and materials, the COVID-19 outbreak resulted in unstable markets, a decline in consumer confidence, and issues with import and export business. Due to the lockdown, markets were closed and many stayed at home. This development has led to supply chain breaches, stock market inefficiencies, and vendor instability. The advanced materials and chemical industries' shutdown had an impact on the entire market. Acetylene was rendered obsolete by the closure of markets because there was no longer a demand for the product. The pandemic impacted the industry dynamics, forcing organizations to revamp their entire operation structures to maintain stability amid the disruptions the financial imbalance that occurs due to shutdown of various stores & large sectors was the main reason that distorted the whole market. Aside from that, the companies' business operations have been affected by the outbreak, which has an effect on the overall chemical industry. This has partially impacted the acetylene gas market.

LATEST TRENDS

Acetylene in Various Applications to Boost the Market Growth

The need for calcium carbide has increased as acetylene's commercial use has increased. Acetylene is used in the creation of chemicals, the production of polymers, the welding and cutting of metals, as well as other things.

In April 2022, the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) for manufacturing climbed by 6.7%, electricity increased by 12.9%, and water and waste management increased by 15.4%, according to the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda. Therefore, the rising industrial output is an indication of the expansion of industries worldwide, which will increase demand for acetylene gas throughout the course of the predicted period. As a result, during the projected period, the market for chemical is anticipated to rise rapidly. The advancement of the product is helping the market to grow.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Harmful Effects of gas to Impede Market Expansion

The market for acetylene has long faced significant environmental challenges. Both the environment and living beings are affected by the dangerous particulate matter emissions that occur during the production of gas. Visibility and air quality are both impacted by airborne particles. By reducing visibility, the particle matter detracts from an area's aesthetics and utility and may have an adverse effect on structures and vegetation. Acetylene gas causes skin and respiratory tract irritation, asthma, and dermatitis when exposed in excess. Therefore, a significant factor limiting the growth of this market are the harmful effect of the gas. If this problem is fixed, the market will start to grow right away.
