Market Highlights
High-purity methane gas, often referred to as ultra-pure methane or high-grade methane, is methane gas that has been refined to remove impurities and contaminants. It is primarily used in industries such as electronics, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and research laboratories. The demand for high-purity methane gas is driven by its specific applications that require a controlled and clean environment to prevent contamination and achieve desired outcomes.
The pandemic caused economic uncertainty, leading to fluctuations in demand across various industries. Some sectors, such as manufacturing and automotive, experienced reduced demand, impacting the need for High Purity Methane Gas in these applications. However, there was an increased demand for semiconductor devices and electronics to support the pandemic response.
The increasing demand for High Purity Methane Gas is fuelled by the increasing manufacturing of semiconductor devices and electronics, finding application in processes like chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) for precise thin film deposition. Additionally, the demand for high-purity gases, including methane, is likely to increase due to the growing complexity of electronic devices. As technologies such as 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence continue to evolve, the semiconductor industry may require higher-quality gases for advanced manufacturing processes is also driving market growth. Overall, the High Purity Methane Gas market is likely to rebound at a promising CAGR of 6.0% in the long run.
