Recent developments in the global commercial gas industry have drawn significant attention. Air Products has released its fiscal year 2025 and fourth-quarter financial results. According to the report, the company’s full-year sales for fiscal 2025 reached $12 billion, reflecting a 1% year-on-year decrease. This decline was partially offset by a 2% increase in energy cost pass-through and a 1% price increase in non-helium commercial gases, despite a 4% drop in sales volume. Additionally, Air Products reported its fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results, with sales of $3.2 billion, down 1% year-on-year. A 5% decline in sales volume was partially mitigated by a 3% rise in energy cost pass-through and a 1% positive currency exchange impact. The decrease in volume primarily reflects the sale of the LNG business in September 2024, one-time asset sales in the Americas region from the same period last year due to early contract terminations by customers, and a global decline in helium demand.
This financial report underscores the challenges and opportunities facing the commercial gas industry amid evolving global economic conditions. Notably, the price increases and stable performance of non-helium commercial gases have emerged as key pillars supporting business resilience. In this industrial landscape, safe and efficient gas storage and transportation solutions are more critical than ever. As a trusted partner in the global gas industry, NETC’s aluminum alloy gas cylinders provide robust and reliable infrastructure support for commercial gas companies worldwide.
