Neon Gas Market size is evaluated at USD 25.7 billion in 2024 and is expected to exceed USD 65.7 billion by the end of 2037, witnessing over 7.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In 2025, the industry size of neon gas is assessed at USD 27.6 billion. The primary growth driver of the market is the increasing demand for semiconductor manufacturing. Neon is essential for the production of lasers used in photolithography processes in semiconductor fabrication. Its short wavelength allows it to imprint patterns as small as 193 nanometers on the wafer chip. One of the most important applications of neon gas is in ultraviolet (UV) lasers, called excimer lasers. This laser is very effective at making clean and precise cuts at hundreds of nanometres. UV lasers emit no heat and do not cause scars, making them popular in laser eye surgery (LASIK).
The growing demand for digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) in several industries is also expected to fuel the market growth in the coming years. These technologies require high-performance computing systems, which rely on semiconductors for operations that directly increase the sales of neon gas.

Application (Lasers, Signage and Lighting, Electronics and Semiconductors, Cryogenic Applications)
Lasers segment is expected to account for more than 37.5% neon gas market share by the end of 2037, owing to the increasing use of neon-based lasers in semiconductor manufacturing. Neon lasers are widely used in optical applications such as holography, barcode scanning, and laser pointers. Their bright output and stability are increasing their use in both commercial and scientific contexts. The laser combining neon and helium is highly used in educational and research laboratories. For instance, Helium-neon lasers are utilized in cell biological applications of confocal microscopy as an alternative to krypton ion lasers for longer wavelength lines. Helium-neon lasers have outputs ranging from 1 to 10 mW at 543 nm (green), 595 nm (yellow), and 633 nm (red). These air-cooled lasers are cost-effective, have a long lifetime (~20,000 hours), and do not require laser optics adjustments due to their fixed emission wavelength.
Supply Mode (Cylinders, Bulk & Micro Bulk, Drum Tanks, On-site)
By the end of 2037, cylinders segment is poised to capture around 37.7% neon gas market share, owing to their efficiency and flexibility in transporting neon gas. Gas cylinders are portable, which aids in the easy transport of neon gas to various locations. This versatility is advantageous for both industrial and research environments. These specialized cylinders are built to withstand high pressures and are effective and reliable in the transportation of high-pressure gases such as neon, driving their sales growth.
