High Purity Carbon Dioxide Market Report 2026

The high purity carbon dioxide market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.86 billion in 2025 to $7.33 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to carbonated beverage demand, food preservation needs, industrial gas utilization, healthcare oxygen alternatives, laboratory usage.

The high purity carbon dioxide market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.44 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electronics manufacturing growth, pharmaceutical production expansion, on site gas systems adoption, carbon capture integration, food safety regulations. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand from food and beverage processing, growing use in pharmaceutical manufacturing, expansion of semiconductor and electronics applications, increasing adoption of on site co2 generation, higher focus on gas purity standards.

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.
