Gas Treatment Global Market Report 2026

Gas treatment encompasses processes utilized to prepare mine gas for various end-use management options, such as pipeline injection. These processes include dehydration, gas separation, and the removal of non-methane components. Gas treatment aims to enhance gas quality by introducing potent cleaning chemicals that combat the build-up of hazardous deposits in the fuel system, which can adversely affect performance. Additionally, gas treatment addresses the removal of water, which can lead to fuel line freeze.

The main types of gas treatment are categorized as amines and non-amines. Amine gas treatment involves the use of aqueous solutions of various alkylamines to dissolve and remove hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from refinery sour gases. Applications of gas treatment include acid gas removal and dehydration, with end-users spanning power plants, refineries, pulp and paper, metal and mining, food and beverages, oil and gas, and sugar industries. Gas treatment plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and safety of gases used in diverse industrial applications.

Tariffs are influencing the gas treatment market by increasing costs of imported chemical solvents, molecular sieves, separation membranes, and treatment equipment used across dehydration and acid gas removal processes. Oil and gas facilities in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on specialized imported materials, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on large-scale gas processing projects. These tariffs are increasing operational costs and project timelines. However, they are encouraging regional chemical production, domestic equipment manufacturing, and innovation in alternative treatment technologies.

This gas treatment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The gas treatment market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $4.54 billion in 2025 to $4.7 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of natural gas processing infrastructure, rising demand for pipeline-quality gas, development of chemical treatment formulations, increasing industrial gas consumption, implementation of safety standards.

The gas treatment market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.45 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in clean gas infrastructure, rising adoption of advanced solvent technologies, expansion of LNG and pipeline networks, growing focus on emission reduction, increasing integration of digital monitoring systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of advanced gas separation technologies, rising demand for high-efficiency dehydration solutions, growing use of blended amine systems, expansion of modular gas treatment units, enhanced focus on gas quality optimization.

The rise in shale gas production is expected to drive the growth of the gas treatment market going forward. Shale gas is natural gas trapped within shale rock formations beneath the Earth's surface. Its extraction presents unique challenges, including the presence of impurities and contaminants, which require gas treatment processes to ensure environmental compliance and improve gas quality. Demand for gas treatment solutions is driven by economic growth in shale gas regions, the need for infrastructure compatibility, and the integration of shale gas into the global energy supply. For instance, in March 2025, data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), a U.S.-based government agency, indicated that U.S. natural gas production, largely from shale formations, remained strong, with total dry natural gas production averaging 103.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2024, and shale gas accounting for approximately 81% of that output. Permian Basin shale gas production also increased by about 13% in 2024 compared with 2023, highlighting continued growth in key shale plays and supporting ongoing demand for gas treatment infrastructure. Therefore, the increase in shale gas production is fueling the growth of the gas treatment market.

Major companies in the gas treatment market are advancing their technologies and research and development efforts to improve efficiency and processing capabilities. For instance, in September 2024, Petroleo Brasileiro S.A., a Brazil-based petroleum company, launched a natural gas processing unit in Rio de Janeiro. The new UPGN facility, located at the Boaventura Energy Complex, can process up to 21 million cubic meters of gas daily from the Santos Basin, significantly increasing Brazil's domestic supply and reducing reliance on imports. Planned future expansions include gas-fired thermoelectric plants and refining units to boost production capacities for lubricating oils, diesel, and aviation kerosene. Additionally, the latest innovation combines a mobile near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer with advanced data processing (chemometrics), allowing users to directly analyze plant samples with the Digilab device and instantly obtain detailed component analysis.

In September 2024, Honeywell International Inc., a USA-based diversified technology and manufacturing company, acquired Air Products' liquefied natural gas (LNG) process technology and equipment business for $1.81 billion in an all-cash deal. Through this acquisition, Honeywell aimed to enhance its energy transition and gas treatment capabilities by integrating advanced natural gas pre-treatment and liquefaction technologies with its digital automation solutions, providing customers with a comprehensive and optimized gas processing offering. Air Products' LNG process technology and equipment business is a USA-based industrial gas process company specializing in the design and manufacture of LNG process technology, including high-throughput heat exchangers and related gas handling equipment used in natural gas pre-treatment and liquefaction applications.
