Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

Neon Gas Market size is evaluated at USD 25.7 billion in 2024 and is expected to exceed USD 65.7 billion by the end of 2037, witnessing over 7.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In 2025, the industry size of neon gas is assessed at USD 27.6 billion. The primary growth driver of the market is the increasing demand for semiconductor manufacturing. Neon is essential for the production of lasers used in photolithography processes in semiconductor fabrication. Its short wavelength allows it to imprint patterns as small as 193 nanometers on the wafer chip. One of the most important applications of neon gas is in ultraviolet (UV) lasers, called excimer lasers. This laser is very effective at making clean and precise cuts at hundreds of nanometres. UV lasers emit no heat and do not cause scars, making them popular in laser eye surgery (LASIK).

The growing demand for digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) in several industries is also expected to fuel the market growth in the coming years. These technologies require high-performance computing systems, which rely on semiconductors for operations that directly increase the sales of neon gas.

Neon Gas Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Widespread use in the medical and aerospace sectors: Medical and aerospace sectors make wide use of high-purity gases such as neon in component or device manufacturing processes. For instance, in medical imaging, neon gas is used in various diagnostic technologies such as MRI machines and gas lasers. Neon offers contrast enhancement that leads to the development of qualitative images and quantitative physiological information. Moreover, neon can be used in cryogenic applications, helping to preserve biological samples or tissues by providing a controlled cooling environment.

    In aerospace neon gases are vital in rocket propulsion, engine testing, and infrared imaging and detection equipment. Neon gas is a component in specific laser systems used for communication and navigation in aerospace applications.
  • Increasing investments in semiconductor industry: Key market players are investing heavily in research and development activities to improve efficiency, mitigate waste, and explore innovative recovery methods. As the semiconductor industry is the dominant consumer of neon gas, it is expected that the demand for high-purity gases will eventually increase with increasing investment in the semiconductor industry. Through 2030, businesses worldwide intend to invest roughly USD 1 trillion in semiconductor fabrication. Most investment is concentrated in Asia and the U.S., but funding for European projects is also increasing.

Challenges

  • Disturbance in supply chain systems: The rising geopolitical tensions among some countries including Russia and Ukraine are significantly hampering the sales of neon gas. For instance, around 45.0% to 54.0% of semiconductor-grade neon produced across the world comes from Ukraine-based companies Cryoin and Ingas. These conflicts are disturbing the supply chains leading to price volatility and prompting end users to seek alternatives.
  • Strict environmental regulations: Strict regulations on gas emissions and environmental concerns related to gas extraction processes are expected to hinder the neon gas production and utilization process to some extent. Players in the neon gas market are required to conduct comprehensive environmental impact assessments before extraction projects can proceed. This delays production timelines and increases the overall operational costs.

Neon Gas Segmentation

Application (Lasers, Signage and Lighting, Electronics and Semiconductors, Cryogenic Applications)

Lasers segment is expected to account for more than 37.5% neon gas market share by the end of 2037, owing to the increasing use of neon-based lasers in semiconductor manufacturing. Neon lasers are widely used in optical applications such as holography, barcode scanning, and laser pointers. Their bright output and stability are increasing their use in both commercial and scientific contexts. The laser combining neon and helium is highly used in educational and research laboratories. For instance, Helium-neon lasers are utilized in cell biological applications of confocal microscopy as an alternative to krypton ion lasers for longer wavelength lines. Helium-neon lasers have outputs ranging from 1 to 10 mW at 543 nm (green), 595 nm (yellow), and 633 nm (red). These air-cooled lasers are cost-effective, have a long lifetime (~20,000 hours), and do not require laser optics adjustments due to their fixed emission wavelength.

Supply Mode (Cylinders, Bulk & Micro Bulk, Drum Tanks, On-site)

By the end of 2037, cylinders segment is poised to capture around 37.7% neon gas market share, owing to their efficiency and flexibility in transporting neon gas. Gas cylinders are portable, which aids in the easy transport of neon gas to various locations. This versatility is advantageous for both industrial and research environments. These specialized cylinders are built to withstand high pressures and are effective and reliable in the transportation of high-pressure gases such as neon, driving their sales growth.
