Carbon Dioxide Market Analysis

The global carbon dioxide market size reached 243.8 Million Tons in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 382.1 Million Tons, at a projected CAGR of 5.12% during 2023-2032.

• The use of carbon dioxide in the beverage industry of carbonation is widely increasing. This procedure includes dissolving CO2 gas into beverages under extreme pressure, producing a fizzy texture. According to the market research company, IMARC GROUP, the global alcoholic beverages market reached US$ 1,279.1 Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 1,963.1 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.4% during 2024-2032. The company also states that the global non-alcoholic beverages market reached US$ 928.2 Billion in 2023, and is expected to reach US$ 1,400.9 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate of 4.5% during 2024-2032. One of the major uses of CO2 is carbonating sparkling water, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages such as sparkling wine and beer. This procedure improves the sensory experience of the beverage by adding a refreshing taste and bubbles, and also serves as a preservative by producing an acidic environment that inhibits the growth of spoilage organisms. Additionally, the solubility of CO2 in liquid is affected by factors such as temperature and pressure, with higher pressures and lower pressures the amount of CO2 which needs to be dissolved is increased. Modern day carbonation systems in the beverage industry are extremely efficient, adopting precise equipment to regulate the CO2 levels accurately, thus ensuring consistency in the taste and texture across all batches. Moreover, other than carbonation, CO2 also majorly impacts the shelf life of the products and their overall consumer appeal, thus making it a vital component in the production of numerous popular drinks.
• Another major area of utilization of this gas is in the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) industry. This includes the injection of CO2 into oil reservoirs so as to increase the quantity of crude oil that can be procured. This procedure is particularly beneficial for mature oil fields where conventional extraction methods have become less effective. After CO2 is injected into the reservoir, it mixes with the crude oil, minimizing its viscosity and making it more seamless to flow toward the production wells. Other than this, CO2 also assists in dissolving the trapped oil droplets thus enhancing the overall recovery rate. This process optimized oil production along with offering an opportunity for carbon capture and storage (CCS), as the CO2 utilized in the procedure can be sequestered underground, alleviating its release into the atmosphere. As per a market report published by the IMARC GROUP, the global enhanced oil recovery (EOR) market reached US$ 59.1 Billion in 2023, and is expected to reach US$ 111.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 7% during 2024-2032.

Product Description

Carbon dioxide, also represented at CO2, is a colorless, odorless gas composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. It is a naturally occurring compound in the Earth's atmosphere and is a key component of the carbon cycle. CO₂ is formed through various natural processes, including respiration by animals and plants, decomposition of organic matter, and volcanic eruptions. Additionally, human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), deforestation, and industrial processes contribute significantly to CO₂ emissions. CO₂ has diverse applications across multiple industries. In the beverage industry, it is used for carbonation, providing the characteristic fizz in soft drinks, sparkling water, and alcoholic beverages.

The petroleum industry employs CO₂ in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to increase crude oil extraction from mature wells. Furthermore, CO₂ is used in the pharmaceutical industry for producing certain medications, in the horticulture industry to promote plant growth in greenhouses, and in the refrigeration industry as a refrigerant.
