High Purity Carbon Dioxide Global Market Report 2025

The high purity carbon dioxide market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.41 billion in 2024 to $6.86 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. Growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for food and beverage carbonation, increased use of high purity gases in pharmaceutical processing and packaging, growing need for controlled environments in laboratory applications, expanding global beverage bottling and preservation activities, stricter enforcement of industrial gas purity standards, and rising adoption of controlled-atmosphere storage for fruits and vegetables.

The high purity carbon dioxide market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.87 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. Growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing consumption of packaged and carbonated beverages in emerging economies, greater investment in healthcare and clinical research facilities, rising demand for carbon dioxide in precision food freezing and chilling, a surge in beverage export activities that require high purity packaging gas, the expansion of pharmaceutical manufacturing in developing regions, and a growing consumer shift toward premium beverage products requiring superior carbonation quality. Key trends expected in the forecast period include technological advancements in impurity removal and gas purification systems, progress in high-efficiency liquefaction and storage solutions, innovations in purity monitoring and continuous quality control technologies, developments in modular on-site purification plants, research and development in sustainable purification and processing methods, and advancements in energy-efficient gas recovery and recycling systems.

The increasing consumption of carbonated beverages is expected to drive the growth of the high purity carbon dioxide market. Carbonated beverages are drinks that are infused with carbon dioxide gas under pressure, creating effervescence and a bubbly texture. The rising demand for convenient ready-to-drink options is driving the consumption of carbonated beverages, as busy consumers seek beverages that offer quick refreshment without the need for preparation. High purity carbon dioxide is essential for carbonating these beverages by dissolving CO₂ under pressure, which not only creates fizz but also helps preserve freshness and product quality. For example, in May 2025, Statistics Norway (SSB), a national government agency, reported that Norwegians consumed an average of 337 kg of sugared and sweetened non-alcoholic beverages per person in 2023, which was a 3.4 kg increase compared to 2022. As a result, the growing consumption of carbonated beverages is driving the expansion of the high purity carbon dioxide market.

Major companies in the high purity carbon dioxide market are focusing on technological advancements such as cryogenic liquefaction to improve product quality, storage efficiency, and large-scale distribution capabilities. Cryogenic liquefaction is an advanced process that cools purified carbon dioxide to extremely low temperatures under controlled pressure, turning it into a liquid while removing non-condensable impurities. This process enables the preservation of high purity CO₂, safe transportation, and long-term storage. For example, in October 2025, Gulf Cryo, a UAE-based industrial and medical gases producer, partnered with RAK Ceramics, a UAE-based ceramics manufacturer, to launch the country’s first high-purity carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture facility. This cryogenic liquefaction solution captures, purifies, and liquefies carbon dioxide from industrial exhaust streams for commercial distribution, improving the reliability of food-grade liquid CO₂ supply and supporting decarbonization through carbon capture and utilization.

In April 2023, Linde plc, an Ireland-based industrial gases company, entered into a partnership with Heidelberg Materials AG to jointly build, own, and operate a large-scale carbon capture, liquefaction, and purification facility at Heidelberg’s Lengfurt cement plant in Germany. This collaboration will enable Linde to strengthen its supply of high-purity liquid carbon dioxide by capturing and purifying around 70,000 tons of CO₂ annually, which will support merchant demand in sectors such as chemicals and food and beverages. Heidelberg Materials, based in Germany, is a leader in cement production and large-scale carbon capture and utilization projects.

The regions covered in high purity carbon dioxide report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa. The countries covered in the high purity carbon dioxide market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The intensifying U.S. tariffs and escalating trade tensions in spring 2025 are expected to have a significant impact on the chemicals sector, which is bearing a disproportionate burden, particularly from tariffs on petrochemicals and intermediates, where affordable domestic substitutes are often unavailable. Producers of specialty chemicals, heavily dependent on Chinese raw materials, are experiencing production disruptions. At the same time, fertilizer manufacturers are seeing profit margins eroded due to tariffs on phosphate imports. In response, companies are ramping up R&D into bio-based alternatives, forming procurement alliances to consolidate buying power, and shifting production to tariff-neutral nations such as Saudi Arabia.
