Industrial Gas Manufacturing in Germany Industry Data and Analysis
The turnover of German industrial gas manufacturers increased by an average of 5.6% per year between 2020 and 2025. This growth was largely due to the sharp increases in electricity and natural gas prices, which the industry was largely able to pass on to customers due to the costly logistics alternatives that are usually difficult to realise in the short term. Demand for medical speciality gases was high during the pandemic and partially compensated for the decline in demand from the manufacturing industry. The strong focus on high-quality speciality gases for medical applications and cutting-edge technologies also demonstrated the industry's resilience in volatile markets. Technical and economic hurdles in the import of industrial gases are leading to an increase in demand for on-site gas solutions. In view of the complex, cost-intensive and uncertain import logistics, more and more German companies are focussing on independent production directly at their production site.
