Beverage and food buyers anchor national CO2 demand
The Australia merchant carbon dioxide market was valued at USD 176.5 million in 2025 and is projected to increase from USD 189.0 million in 2026 to USD 264.7 million by 2035, registering a CAGR of 3.81% during 2026–2035. Demand comes from brewers, soft drink makers, meat and food processors, hospitals, laboratories, water utilities and manufacturers that buy purified gas in bulk tanks, cylinders and dry ice form. New South Wales and ACT held the largest regional share, 33.7% in 2025, because Sydney has the largest population and beverage base. Queensland is the fastest-growing region at 4.08% a year, as population growth lifts food, beverage and hospitality demand. However, suppliers are moving toward captured and biogenic sources, after a 2024 supply squeeze left soft drink shelves empty at major supermarkets.
Which product forms, buyers and supply routes does the estimate cover?
The estimate measures the value of purified carbon dioxide sold to outside buyers in Australia as liquid carbon dioxide, compressed carbon dioxide and dry ice. It counts gas used for carbonation and dispensing, cooling and cold chain, meat stunning and packaging, medical and laboratory use, water treatment and manufacturing.
The estimate excludes carbon dioxide used inside the plant that produces it, gas injected for oil recovery or storage, and the value of tanks, dispensers and blasting machines. The value chain runs from raw gas sources such as gas processing and fermentation plants through purification and liquefaction to bulk delivery, cylinder filling and dry ice production.

Biogenic plants, branch reach and cold chain lift sales
How does biogenic supply expansion lift capacity?
Biogenic supply expansion lifts capacity, because fermentation plants offer steady and lower-emission gas sources close to east coast buyers. Air Liquide announced a plant with Manildra Group at Bomaderry in New South Wales on May 21, 2025, according to Air Liquide Australia. The plant will capture more than 90,000 metric tons a year of food and beverage grade gas from wheat fermentation, which the company calls the largest such plant in the country. Construction was planned for the second half of 2025, with operations expected in 2027. As a result, New South Wales and ACT grows at 3.98% a year, because local supply cuts freight for Sydney buyers.
Why does packaged gas distribution reach matter?
Packaged gas distribution reach matters, because cafes, pubs, small brewers and workshops buy gas in cylinders through local branches rather than bulk tanks. Nippon Sanso completed its purchase of Coregas on July 1, 2025, which added 32 branches across Australia and New Zealand and more than 620 channel partners. The competition regulator did not oppose the deal on June 24, 2025, noting that both firms sell carbon dioxide in cylinders. Supagas, the sister company under Nippon Sanso, also runs gas filling facilities and branches across most states. In turn, branch and digital sales grow at 4.29% a year, the fastest sales channel during 2026–2035.
How does specialist cold chain demand support dry ice sales?
Specialist cold chain demand supports dry ice sales, because medicines, samples, seafood and meals need deep cooling during transport without power. The March 2024 supply squeeze also hit dry ice used to move medical supplies, according to Farm Online, which showed how exposed cold chain users are. BOC built dry ice hubs in Mackay, Canberra, Dandenong, Mount Gambier and Karratha after a $4 million network investment in 2013. Australia also has a national population of about 27.9 million in March 2026, which keeps food delivery volumes rising. As a result, dry ice grows at 4.43% a year, the fastest product type during 2026–2035, as shippers use more refrigerated freight services.
Why does beverage and food processing keep demand high?
Beverage and food processing keeps demand high, because carbonation, meat stunning and modified atmosphere packaging all depend on food-grade gas. The 2024 supply squeeze left soft drink shelves empty at Coles and Woolworths and also hit red meat, pork, poultry, baked goods and bagged salads. BOC said its Longford plant, which started supply in March 2025, would improve reliability for east coast customers, according to Process Online. The plant can also back up supply to New Zealand when local plants stop. In turn, food and beverage holds 62.0% of 2025 value, because these processors buy the largest share of bulk liquid gas.
Source shifts and gas company consolidation reshape supply
How is the shift away from fossil-linked sources changing supply?
The shift away from fossil-linked sources is changing supply, because many existing raw gas streams come from gas processing and fertilizer plants that are shrinking. The Longford gas plants in Victoria face planned closures that cut maximum daily supply first to 700 terajoules and then to 420 terajoules, with Gas Plant 1 set to close in July 2024. BOC now takes captured gas from the Longford Gas Conditioning Plant under a long-term agreement with the Gippsland Basin Joint Venture. Air Liquide also chose wheat fermentation for its 90,000 metric ton Bomaderry plant. As a result, suppliers are adding biogenic and captured sources to protect long-term food-grade supply during 2026–2035.
Why is the rise of gas company consolidation notable?
The rise of gas company consolidation is notable, because fewer and larger groups now control most production, cylinders and delivery routes. Nippon Sanso already owned Supagas when it completed the Coregas purchase on July 1, 2025. The regulator found that BOC would remain the largest supplier in Australia after the deal, with Air Liquide also providing an effective constraint. Coregas has operated in Australia since 1974, while Supagas started in 1968, which gives the combined group long customer relationships. In turn, direct contract sales keep 55.0% of 2025 value, because the large industrial gas suppliers sign multi-year deals with major beverage plants.
Can healthcare and life science use open new demand?
Healthcare and life science use can open new demand, because hospitals, laboratories and clinical shippers need high-purity gas for laboratory incubators and reliable cooling. Air Liquide lists medical and water treatment uses among the markets for its Bomaderry output from 2027. BOC also names medical users among the buyers of its Longford supply, which reached more than 60,000 metric tons a year of capacity in 2025. Dry ice for medical supplies was among the uses hit by the March 2024 squeeze, which pushed buyers to secure contracts. As a result, healthcare and life sciences grows at 4.60% a year, the fastest end-use industry during 2026–2035.
Is there room to grow in manufacturing and environmental services?
Manufacturing and environmental services offer room to grow, because welding, water treatment, desalination and cleaning all use carbon dioxide in steady volumes. Manufacturing value added was about 5.3% of Australian GDP in 2025, according to the World Bank, which supports demand for shielding gas and process cooling. Air Liquide also names desalination and water treatment among the uses for its new biogenic supply. The Coregas air separation unit at Darra in Brisbane, a $16 million project, also widens the local packaged gas network. In turn, dry ice blasting and water pH control give suppliers new accounts beyond beverages.
Source outages, freight and price swings test buyers
How do source outages disrupt supply?
Source outages disrupt supply, because a few gas processing, fertilizer and fermentation plants provide most raw gas in Australia. As a result, a single maintenance shutdown can leave beverage makers, meat processors and hospitals short within days. Suppliers respond by adding new sources, holding more storage and moving product between states, which raises resilience but adds cost. This risk stays high until new biogenic plants start in 2027.
Why do freight distances raise delivered costs?
Freight distances raise delivered costs, because liquid gas and dry ice must travel long routes by insulated tanker and truck. In turn, buyers in Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory pay more and face longer lead times than east coast buyers. Suppliers respond with regional filling stations and dry ice hubs, which shorten delivery routes. Dry ice also loses mass during transit, which pushes production closer to users.
How do price swings affect small buyers?
Price swings affect small buyers, because shortages lift spot prices and trigger allocation for customers without long-term contracts. As a result, independent pubs, cafes and craft brewers can face sudden cost rises during supply squeezes. Suppliers respond with fixed-price cylinder plans and longer contracts, which give buyers more certainty. These plans tend to favor buyers that commit to one supplier for several years.
Why does quality assurance add cost for suppliers?
Quality assurance adds cost for suppliers, because food, beverage and medical buyers need tested purity and full traceability for every batch. In turn, new sources such as fermentation and captured gas need purification steps and laboratory checks before sale. Suppliers respond with modern purification units and quality control processes, which protect buyers but raise capital needs. This requirement tends to favor large gas groups with established laboratories and testing staff.
Sydney leads while Queensland adds the fastest growth
| Region | Value, 2025 (USD million) | Share, 2025 | CAGR, 2026–2035 |

| Western Australia, South Australia and Northern Territory | 40.1 | 22.7% | 3.48% |
| Queensland | 33.5 | 19.0% | 4.08% |
Why do New South Wales and ACT hold the top share?
New South Wales and ACT held a 33.7% share of 2025 value and grow at 3.98% a year, because the region has about 9.2 million people and large beverage plants. New South Wales had 8.67 million residents at March 31, 2026. The Bomaderry biogenic plant in the Shoalhaven region is expected to start in 2027. As a result, this region should gain the most new local supply by 2035.
How do Victoria and Tasmania support demand?
Victoria and Tasmania held a 24.6% share of 2025 value and grow at 3.68% a year, because Melbourne hosts large brewing, food and medical sites. Victoria grew its population by 1.6% in the year to March 2026, one of the fastest rates of any state. BOC Longford in Gippsland also supplies more than 60,000 metric tons a year from 2025. In turn, this region acts as a supply hub for the east coast.
Why is Queensland growing fastest?
Queensland held a 19.0% share of 2025 value and grows fastest at 4.08% a year, because population growth of 1.6% in the year to March 2026 lifts food, beverage and tourism demand. The state had about 5.74 million residents at that date. Coregas also planned a $16 million air separation unit at Darra in Brisbane to serve local demand. As a result, Queensland adds the most new cylinder and dry ice accounts in the forecast period.
How do Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory contribute?
Western Australia, South Australia and Northern Territory held a 22.7% share of 2025 value and grow at 3.48% a year, because long freight routes limit growth. Western Australia had the fastest population growth at 2.1% in the year to March 2026. BOC also built dry ice hubs in Karratha and Mount Gambier. In turn, this region relies on regional filling and mining site accounts.

Capture, purification and pelletizing define supply quality
- Capture and compression collects raw gas from gas processing and fermentation plants, which turns a waste stream into a sellable feedstock.
- Purification and liquefaction removes impurities and cools the gas into liquid, which lets it meet beverage-grade standards and travel by bulk tanker.
- Cylinder filling and testing packs gas into portable cylinders for venues and workshops, which serves small buyers that cannot install bulk tanks.
- Dry ice pelletizing turns liquid gas into pellets and blocks for cooling and blasting, which supports cold chain shipping, food handling and industrial cleaning.
