Carbon Dioxide Market: Emerging Trends and Growth Opportunities, 2028

The global carbon dioxide market size was valued at USD 7.80 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.0% from 2021 to 2028.

The global Carbon Dioxide Market size is expected to reach USD 10.67 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 4.0% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rise in usage of carbon dioxide in sectors, such as oil & gas for enhanced oil recovery, food & beverages, and healthcare, is a key driving factor for the market.

Fluctuation in crude oil prices along with a rise in the number of matured oil & gas wells are resulting in oil & gas operators implementing various techniques to enhance the drilling efficiency of the existing wells. Furthermore, oil & gas operators are adopting carbon dioxide-based enhanced oil recovery techniques, which will boost the product demand in the future.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the market growth owing to factors, such as strict social distancing norms and lockdowns in various countries around the world. This has resulted in a reduction in demand for oil & gas as well as the shutting down of industries, such as automobile, semiconductor, and consumer electronics, which affected the demand for carbon dioxide from these end users.

Major global players in the CO2 market, such as Linde plc, Air Liquide, and Air Products, Inc., account for a major share. Major companies utilize merger and acquisition strategies to enhance their industry share. For instance, Linde plc was formed by the merger of Linde AG and Praxair, which got completed in October 2018.
