Analyst New York, United States February 2026

Long-term distribution agreements, particularly on-site contracts with durations ranging from 10 to 20 years, have become a staple for major companies such as Linde, Air Liquide and Air Products and Chemicals. These agreements often include take-or-pay provisions, stabilizing revenue streams amid fluctuating markets and supporting profit reinvestment into core ventures. Emphasizing margin optimization over rapid expansion, leading manufacturers have invested in capital equipment and machinery to offset labor costs and pursued vertical integration, thereby extending their reach into the wholesale distribution of gases such as carbon dioxide, oxygen and hydrogen.
