The global cryogenic equipment market is estimated to grow from USD 11.9 Billion in 2023 to USD 16.6 Billion by 2028; it is expected to record a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the factors such as Increasing utilization of industrial gases in metallurgy, oil & gas, and energy & power industries. Growing popularity of liquefied natural gas as source of clean and efficient energy has driven the growth of cryogenic equipment market.

“Metallurgy: The largest segment of the cryogenic equipment market, by emd-user industry “

Based on end-user industyry, the cryogenic equipment market has been split into six types: metallurgy, energy & power, chemical, electronics, transportation, and other end-user industries. The metallurgy segment is expected to be the largest segment during the forecast period. In the metallurgy industry, processes such as metal forming, fabrication, welding, and combustion require industrial gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and hydrogen. The research and innovations associated with the development of high-strength and high-conductivity alloys for non-rare-earth induction motors used in EVs, metals with high rigidity and stiffness for use in industrial applications, new composites such as highly conducting carbon nanotubes to enhance the efficiency of electrical energy transport, and new corrosion protection systems for marine and offshore applications are also expected to create a high demand for cryogenic equipment in the metallurgy industry.

“Storage system segment is expected to be the largest segment during the forecast period based on system type.”

By system type, the cryogenic equipment market has been segmented into storage system, handling system, supply system, and others. The storage system segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The large market share and the high growth rate of this segment can be attributed to the lucrative growth opportunities provided by the expanding aerospace industry and technological advancements in cryogenic energy storage (CES) systems.

“By application, the CASU segment is expected to be the largest segment during the forecast period.”

Based on the application, the cryogenic equipment market is segmented into cryogenic air system unit (CASU) and a non-cryogenic air system unit (non-CASU). The CASU segment is expected to be the largest segment of the cryogenic equipment market during the forecast period. Cryogenic ASUs are specialized equipment that use cryogenic refrigeration and distillation techniques to separate air from its individual components. The main products obtained using CASUs are typically oxygen and nitrogen, with small amounts of argon and other trace gases. The rising demand for CASUs can be attributed to higher requirements for high-purity oxygen, nitrogen, and argon in industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and electronics.

“Europe is expected to be the second-largest region in the cryogenic equipment market.”

Europe is expected to be the second-largest region in the cryogenic equipment market during the forecast period. The region has been segmented, by country, into Russia, the UK, Germany, France, and Rest of Europe. The market in Rest of Europe is primarily studied for the Netherlands, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. The European market is mainly influenced by the modernization of Germany's healthcare industry and France's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions. the increasing investments in LNG exports are likely to create requirement for cryogenic equipment in the transportation industry, especially the shipping sector, thereby providing a lucrative growth opportunity for cryogenic equipment providers in the region.
