Alcance y segmentación del mercado del gas argón

Definición de mercado

El tercer gas noble del periodo 8, con un número atómico de 18, es el gas argón. Este gas no tiene sabor ni color y es inerte. Se separa del aire líquido mediante un proceso llamado destilación fraccionada y existe en forma de isótopos naturales como 40Ar, 36Ar y 38Ar. Representa alrededor del 1% de la atmósfera de la Tierra.

Dinámica del mercado del gas argón

En esta sección se aborda la comprensión de los factores impulsores del mercado, las ventajas, las oportunidades, las limitaciones y los desafíos. Todo esto se analiza en detalle a continuación:

Conductores

• Uso creciente en la fabricación y manufactura de metales

El argón se utiliza para crear una barrera inerte entre los metales fundidos y las escorias y el oxígeno atmosférico, el nitrógeno o el dióxido de carbono. Además, la resistencia del argón al agrietamiento por calor y otras propiedades, como su alta conductividad térmica, que permite velocidades de avance rápidas durante todo el proceso de soldadura, lo hacen vital para soldar acero inoxidable . La industria de la soldadura utiliza gas argón porque ayuda a proteger las piezas de trabajo de la contaminación. Esta característica del gas argón lo convierte en un elemento popular para su uso en procesos de fabricación y metalurgia. Es el gas más deseado para la industria metalúrgica debido a su reactividad inerte; se utiliza como gas inerte para proteger los metales de la oxidación durante la soldadura, además de usarse para unir muchas aleaciones ferrosas y no ferrosas. También es el gas más utilizado para rellenar los trajes secos utilizados para el buceo debido a sus excelentes cualidades de aislamiento térmico.

• Mayor uso en la industria de alimentos y bebidas

En la industria de alimentos y bebidas , el gas argón se utiliza con frecuencia para el envasado. Los argones se pueden utilizar como conservantes para productos cárnicos porque son inodoros e inertes. Además, al inhibir la oxidación y otras reacciones químicas de los componentes sensibles al oxígeno contenidos en alimentos envasados, como frutas y verduras, el argón ayuda a mantener la calidad del producto. Al regular la temperatura y mantener la presión de almacenamiento, el gas argón se utiliza en la industria de bebidas para la conservación del vino, la estabilidad de la espuma de la cerveza y el control de la carbonatación.

Furthermore, its wide range of uses across the industries such as the manufacturing, food, beverage, electronics, chemical, image and lighting, and metal fabrication industries will further propel the growth rate of argon gas market. Additionally, the surge in infrastructural activities along with the increasing industrialization across the globe will also drive market value growth. The qualities and benefits of argon gas, including its inertness, low cost, non-toxic nature, non-flammability, colorlessness, and non-reactive nature, even under extreme temperature, have helped it replace many other gases in the industry, increasing its demand in a variety of market sectors.

Opportunities

• Acquisitions And Expansion Strategies

Furthermore, the increased investments in various acquisitions and expansion strategies further enhance product applications and extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. For instance, The Oxygen and Argon Works were bought by Air Products & Chemicals, a US company, in December 2020 for NIS 575 million ($176.84 million). The business expansion and prospects for quick growth of Air Products & Chemicals are aided by this acquisition. Israel's top producer of industrial gases such helium, oxygen, hydrogen, and argon is Oxygen & Argon Works.

• Adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT)

Additionally, the growing adoption of the internet of things (IoT) technologies to link machinery and smart devices in order to get real-time insights and find manufacturing process gaps will further expand the future growth of the argon gas market. For instance, smart systems provide data on the operation and performance of chemical reactors with embedded analytics capabilities to alert plant managers and operators of potential machine failures. Praxair-Linde and Air Products are two significant producers of industrial gases that have embraced IoT technology.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Costs

Rising prices largely hamper the argon gas market's expansion. This increase in production expenses as a result of the rising cost of raw materials reduced the funds available for new product development and research. Additionally, the rising freight prices for trucks, railroads, dry bulk, and air freight and the demand on businesses to safeguard margins while preserving the quality of their products increased as a result of the rise in operational costs.

• Presence of Substitutes

The argon is also difficult to separate from oxygen due to its diffusive and adsorptive qualities. The sales of argon gas are being restricted by the development of nitrogen microwave inductively coupled atmospheric pressure plasma (MICAP), which is more affordable in comparison. In addition, manufacturers are switching from argon to krypton since it is denser and gives greater thermal efficiency. Therefore, the presence of these substitutes which offer better features will challenge the argon gas market growth rate.
