Hello and welcome to gasworld’s 2024 Media Guide. It’s been another intense 12 months for the industry, but perhaps with more glimpses into the industry’s future and the paths of growth it can pursue than ever before.

The uncertainty in both helium and carbon dioxide supply chains prevails, yet it feels as though we are beginning to form a clearer view of how that uncertainty will be overcome. Sourcing strategies and alternative technologies are crystallising, often aligned with the ever-shifting sands of this global drive for decarbonisation. We might say the same for oxygen, hydrogen, cryogenic liquids and so many other products: the future playing field of supply and demand is increasingly being mapped out before our eyes.

As ever, this means there are more stories to unpack than ever before – more nuances to dive deeper into and question, more insights to understand and interrogate, and more questions for us to collectively answer. At gasworld, we’re committed to bringing all of that news, views and analysis together as we maintain the big picture in gases and equipment.

Whatever the big stories of our industry are in the year ahead, you can be sure that gasworld will be breaking them, taking them, and delivering all the insight and analysis you need around them. Here in this exciting new Media Guide, we map out our own playing field for 2024 and show you how we as a magazine, a digital content provider, events organiser, business information supplier and broadcast media platform – are maximising our coverage of the industry.

We’ll tackle every strand of the industry and its application, from digitisation to decentralisation and decarbonisation. With ongoing geopolitical tensions, the lessons still being learned from a pandemic that stressed supply chains like never before, the movements towards reshoring of operations and raw materials, and an applications landscape that continue to expand and evolve, what better time to maintain your laser focus on the industry by both product and region?

For advertisers and commercial partners, what better time to ensure you’re seen, heard and stand out from the crowd?

Your company, your services, your technologies are maximised through gasworld and our editorial calendars and content strategy for 2024/25 ensure we remain your unwavering promotional partner in the year ahead. So if you have key messages that your company needs to communicate, then we provide that unrivalled brand exposure; if you’re looking to tap into new markets or regions, then our platforms can provide those opportunities for your business; and if you’re just getting started in this industry or with your promotional campaigns, then we are committed to being the launchpad of choice.

gasworld has now been at the forefront for 20 years, and I’ve never been prouder of what we continue to achieve together! I look forward to us crowning that milestone with you by making even further strides forward in the year ahead.
