The North America Carbon Dioxide Market report provides an unbiased and detailed analysis of the ongoing North America Carbon Dioxide Market trends, opportunities/high growth areas, and market drivers which would help the stakeholders to devise and align their market strategies according to the current and future market dynamics.
North America Carbon Dioxide Market was valued at USD 5.1836 billion and is expected to reach USD 9.390 billion , growing at a CAGR of around 7.7% from 2025-2031. The increasing demand for carbon dioxide in various industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, and chemicals is driving the growth of the market in North America. In addition, the growing awareness about reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices is also contributing to the market growth.
North America Carbon Dioxide Market has experienced significant success and is expected to continue growing in the future. The market is emerging as a key player in the global carbon trading landscape. Driven by commitment of the country to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change, the market is supported by regulatory frameworks and incentives. Key sectors include energy, agriculture, and forestry, with significant potential for growth in renewable energy projects.
According to 6Wresearch, North America Carbon Dioxide Market size is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 7.7% during 2025-2031. The market growth in North America is primarily driven by the increasing demand for carbon dioxide in various industries, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, and chemicals. Additionally, government initiatives to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable practices are also fueling the market growth. However, stringent regulations regarding carbon emissions could act as a restraint for the market in the region.
The North America Carbon Dioxide Market is witnessing some key trends, including the increasing use of carbon dioxide in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations and growing investment in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. CCS technology involves capturing carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes and storing them underground to prevent them from entering the atmosphere.
Another emerging trend is the use of carbon dioxide as a refrigerant in cooling systems, replacing traditional hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which have a high global warming potential. This shift towards sustainable refrigerants is driven by government regulations and consumer demand for eco-friendly products.
The North America Carbon Dioxide Market offers several investment opportunities for companies looking to enter or expand in the region. One potential opportunity is investing in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, which is expected to experience significant growth due to government initiatives and increasing focus on reducing carbon emissions.
Another potential area for investment is the food and beverage industry, where there is a growing demand for carbon dioxide as a key ingredient in carbonated drinks and as a preservative in packaged foods. Investing in renewable energy projects, such as solar or wind farms, can also be beneficial as these industries require large amounts of carbon dioxide for various processes.
Apart from traditional industries, emerging applications of carbon dioxide include its use in greenhouses for enhancing plant growth, as well as in the production of biodegradable plastics. These industries also offer potential investment opportunities for companies looking to diversify their portfolio and tap into the growing demand for sustainable practices.
Some of the key players operating in the North America Carbon Dioxide Market include Linde plc, Air Liquide, Praxair Inc., Air Products and Chemicals Inc., and Matheson Tri-Gas Inc. These companies are focusing on expanding their production capacity and investing in R&D to develop innovative solutions for carbon dioxide capture and utilization.
In addition to established players, there is also a presence of emerging companies offering technologies such as direct air capture (DAC) which involves pulling carbon dioxide directly from the air. This technology has gained attention due to its potential in reducing atmospheric carbon levels. Companies like Carbon Engineering Ltd and Climeworks AG are pioneering this technology in North America.
The North America Carbon Dioxide Market is heavily influenced by government regulations and policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has implemented the Clean Air Act which sets standards for stationary sources of carbon dioxide emissions.
Similarly, in Canada, the federal government has introduced a carbon pricing system to encourage companies to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The provincial governments also have their own regulations and incentives for reducing carbon emissions.
The report offers a comprehensive study of the subsequent market segments and their leading categories.
According to Dhaval, Research Manager, 6Wresearch, The US is the largest contributor to the North America Carbon Dioxide Market, accounting for the majority of revenue share in 2019 and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. The country’s commitment towards reducing carbon emissions and strong presence of key players are driving the market growth.
Among the various sources of carbon dioxide, hydrogen is expected to dominate the market in North America. This can be attributed to the increasing use of hydrogen in oil refineries and other industrial processes, where it is often produced as a byproduct and then converted into carbon dioxide for sale.
However, with the rise of renewable energy projects, ethyl alcohol is also gaining traction as a source of carbon dioxide. Ethanol production from biomass emits significantly less carbon dioxide compared to fossil fuels, making it a more sustainable option for industries.
The food and beverage industry is expected to dominate the North America Carbon Dioxide Market by application. This can be attributed to the growing demand for carbonated drinks and packaged foods, which require carbon dioxide as a key ingredient and preservative respectively.
However, other applications such as oil and gas, medical, rubber, fire fighting, and others are also experiencing significant growth due to the increasing use of carbon dioxide in these industries. For instance, in the oil and gas sector, carbon dioxide is used in EOR operations to increase production from mature oil fields. In the medical field, it is used for cryotherapy treatments and as an imaging agent in diagnostic procedures.
