In addition, the idea of large-scale reuse of carbon dioxide, particularly to create synthetic fuel sources, has gained traction in recent years and will open up a number of fresh opportunities. M N A ER ICA : 3 6% EUROPE: 24% REGION BY REGION By 2018, it is expected that the sector could be worth more than $20bn, with Reforming CO 2 into other high-value molecules is a big area of exploration and research, and there will be a wide range of requirements for analytical purity measurements, an area where Servomex already has a strong position. SERVOMEX IG PRODUCT MANAGER DOUGLAS BARTH REVIEWS THE OPPORTUNITIES THE GLOBAL SPECIALTY MARKET OFFERS INDUSTRIAL GAS MANUFACTURERS. SPECIALTY GAS MARKET REVENUE, BY GEOGRAPHY 2015 (%) China is the largest consumer of specialty gases in the region – with demand driven by the manufacturing industry, in particular the expansion of semiconductor manufacturing. India and South Korea both display strong growth in demand, driven by electronics manufacturing. North America remains a large, very healthy market for specialty gases, containing most global leaders in specialty gas manufacturing. Because of the market size and increasing appetite for specialty gas in the US, the region continues to show moderate growth, with a consistent need for specialty gases to convert shale gas liquids into monomers and polymers. Asia-Pacific is expected to experience the fastest growth in the next few years due to the growing adoption of specialty gases in health care and an increased demand in industrial manufacturing applications. SERVOMEX IS THE LEADER IN THE ANALYSIS OF UHP AND SPECIALTY GASES: THE ONLY MANUFACTURER ABLE TO OFFER A SINGLE-SUPPLIER GAS ANALYSIS SOLUTION. PPM OXYGEN VITAL TO MANUFACTURING LED PANELS, LED LIGHTS, SEMICONDUCTORS, PETROCHEMICAL AND MEDICAL GASES, THE SPECIALTY GAS MARKET CONTINUES TO GROW. P04 Specialty gases are high-purity gases for specific applications, and are either ultra- high-purity single component gases or accurately prepared gas mixtures. Specialty gases include high-purity air-separated gases, noble gases, ammonia, hydrocarbon gases, and halogen gases. These gases require rigorous chemical analysis to ensure their composition meets stringent specifications, particularly the detection of moisture and oxygen impurities that can contaminate the gas during the transportation or production process. Present in even minute ultra- trace quantities, these impurities can ruin the batch production of products being produced, so rigorous analysis is required to the very lowest detection levels possible.
