Cold Plasma Global Market Report 2026

Cold plasma, also known as non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma, finds applications in various industries, including plastics and polymers, textiles, electronics, food and agriculture, and medicine. Cold plasma is a reactive gas containing ions, electrons, and neutral particles in the air, allowing the generation of ozone from oxygen molecules through electrical discharges in atmospheric gases.

The main types of cold plasma based on regime include atmospheric cold plasma and low-pressure cold plasma. Atmospheric cold plasma is ionized gas near room temperature, serving as a source of reactive species, neutral particles, electromagnetic fields, and controllable UV radiation. Cold plasma technologies encompass remote treatment, direct treatment, and electrode contact. These technologies are utilized in diverse medical applications such as wood healing, blood coagulation, dentistry, and cancer treatment. Additionally, cold plasma is employed by various end-users including the automotive, electronics and semiconductors, food processing and packaging, medical, aerospace, and polymers and plastics industries.
