DataM Intelligence Perspective & Recommendations

DataM Intelligence forecasts that the GCC liquid CO₂ market will thrive due to its strategic industrial growth and energy-driven demand. However, rising commodity-linked operational costs highlighted by pricing trends in U.S. and Japan signal caution for margin-sensitive stakeholders.

We recommend:

1. Enhanced vertical integration by key GCC players to control supply and manage pricing volatility.
2. Targeted partnerships with U.S. and Japanese stakeholders to secure stable feedstock and leverage advanced liquefaction technologies.
3. Diversification of end-use sectors, expanding beyond food/beverage into carbon capture, medical-grade applications, and oil & gas EOR.
4. Supply chain optimization, including investments in local liquefaction assets and cross-region logistics resilience.

“GCC’s liquid CO₂ market is poised for rapid growth but managing supply chain efficiencies and building cross-national partnerships will be critical to sustaining margins and enabling value-driven expansion,” notes DataM Intelligence.
