According to Nova one advisor, the global Laboratory Gas Generators market size was valued at USD 509 Million in 2021 and is predicted to hit USD 1.40 billion by 2030 with a registered CAGR of 11.9% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030.
Laboratory gas generator provides continuous supply of purified gas to equipment, such as gas chromatography, ion mobility spectrometers, gas analyzers, GC-MS, FTIR, environmental chambers, or clean, dry gas devices, which require a specific gas. Laboratory gas generators eliminate the hazards of working with high-pressure cylinders. Most laboratory gas generators are fully automated. The equipment includes a spark plug that ignites the gasoline, a piston that is pushed down, and a crankshaft that rotates. The crankshaft spins the generator's rotor in an electromagnetic field, generating an electric current. Lab gas generators are more efficient and cost-effective than compressed gas cylinders and bulk gas storage laboratories. These on-demand gas generators are trustworthy and easy-to-use options. They are also considered long-term replacements, as these are safe, stable, and can be used indefinitely. Laboratory gas generators are used for chromatography and mass spectroscopy in various industries such as pharmaceutical and chemical. Furthermore, these generators are used in food & beverages industry; and industrial and electrical & electronic sectors.

Rise in Research Activities to Drive Global Laboratory Gas Generators Market
Demand for analytical instruments, systems, and methods is high in healthcare and associated industries. These instruments are used for chromatography and mass spectroscopy for research, diagnosis, detection, and other analytical purposes. These technologies necessitate the usage of various gases such as nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, and zero air. Internal gas generation by laboratory equipment or generators simplifies and expedites analytical procedures. Gas generation equipment manufacturers are striving to increase the production of hydrogen generators. This is creating lucrative opportunities for instrument firms. Thus, the global laboratory gas generators market forecast appears positive led by the increase in adoption of these analytical instruments and systems.
Shortage of helium is leading to a rise in demand for laboratory hydrogen gas generators, thereby driving the global laboratory gas generators market size. According to an IEA analysis published in October 2021, demand for hydrogen is projected to reach 88.48 metric tons in 2020 and 210.56 metric tons by 2021.
Increase in Demand for Laboratory Gas Generators in Medical Applications Propelling Global Market
Demand for cannabis analytical testing has increased in the past few years, as medical cannabis has been legalized in several countries/states around the world. This test helps ensure the safety of medical cannabis prior to human consumption. Gas and liquid chromatography are two of the most powerful and widely used cannabis analysis techniques. These require a near-constant supply of highly pure nitrogen or hydrogen gas. Switching to a gas generator can reduce the cost and inconvenience of compressed gas cylinders, while also allowing for cannabis testing using gas and liquid chromatography techniques. Moreover, medical cannabis has been shown to be effective in various medical applications, including alleviating nausea caused by chemotherapy, stimulating appetite in AIDS patients, controlling muscular spasms in multiple sclerosis patients, and lowering intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients. Governments in various countries are legalizing the use of medical cannabis due to its health benefits. Medical cannabis has been legalized in Australia (2016), Canada (2015), South Korea (2018), Portugal (2001), the U.K. (2006), Germany (2017), Italy (2013), the Netherlands (2003), and Brazil (2017).
Companies in the global laboratory gas generators market are focusing on acquisitions to expand their operations. In 2018, Messer Group GmbH formed a joint venture called Messer Industries GmbH to acquire the majority of Linde AG's gases business in North America, as well as certain Linde and Praxair business activities in South America, effective March 1, 2019. Thus, companies are increasingly entering into acquisition and joint venture strategies to grow their laboratory gas generators market share.
Growth in Safety Regulations for Research & Development and High Regulatory Compliance Fueling Hydrogen Gas Generators Segment
In terms of product, the global laboratory gas generators market has been classified into hydrogen gas generators, nitrogen gas generators, oxygen gas generators, zero air generators, purge gas generators, and others. The hydrogen gas generators segment is projected to dominate the global market during the forecast period due to the increase in safety regulations for research & development and high regulatory compliance. Hydrogen gas generator uses various processes such as steam reforming and electrolysis to produce hydrogen from water and fossil fuels. It employs a proton exchange membrane to generate high purity hydrogen gas from water. End-use applications of hydrogen generators include chemical processing, fuel cells, refining, and petroleum recovery.
Usage in Analysis and Separation of Various Experimental Compounds Propelling Gas Chromatography Segment
Based on application, the global laboratory gas generators market has been segmented into gas chromatography, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), gas analyzers, spectroscopy, and others. The gas chromatography segment held major share of the global market in 2021. High usage of gas chromatography for the analysis and separation of various experimental compounds even at low concentration is expected to drive the segment during the forecast period. Various gas generators, such as hydrogen gas generators, are used in gas chromatography in different lab applications.
Increase in application of gas chromatography in industries such as pharmaceutical, chemical & food, environmental testing laboratories, and forensic science; and rise in adoption of gas chromatography techniques in drug discovery processes are also driving the gas chromatography segment. Additionally, growth in popularity of hyphenated chromatography techniques such as GC-MS is augmenting the gas chromatography segment.
Rise in Adoption of Laboratory Gas Generators Driving Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Companies Segment
In terms of end-user, the global laboratory gas generators market has been divided into chem/petrochemical companies, pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, environmental companies, food & beverage companies, and others. The pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies segment is projected to dominate the global market during the forecast period. Laboratory gas generators play a vital role in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies by providing high level of purity for various applications from manufacturing to packaging of drugs. For instance, nitrogen gas is used for blanketing, handling, and packaging of drugs. Furthermore, in-house gas generators help in removal of contamination during drug production.
Regional Outlook of Global Laboratory Gas Generators Market
North America accounted for major share of around 40.8% of the global laboratory gas generators market in 2021. The trend is expected to continue during the forecast period owing to the increase in number of biotechnology centers in the U.S. Eli Lilly and Company expanded biotechnology centers in San Diego, California, in 2017. This is projected to accelerate the production of various medicines, thus propelling the demand for laboratory gas for product protection and improvement (drug).
The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace in the next few years. Expansion of the laboratory gas generators market in the region can be ascribed to the rise in demand for laboratory gas generators in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and related industries; presence of emerging economies with high potential for research & development activities; and government initiatives for research funding & collaboration with companies.
