The cryogenic equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $21.14 billion in 2024 to $22.91 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased industrial gas demand, increased need for energy storage and distribution, healthcare and medical applications, space exploration, and energy efficiency.
The cryogenic equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.13 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing need for electronics manufacturing, food and beverage industry, increasing aerospace and defense needs, renewable energy storage, and environmental sustainability. Major trends in the forecast period include hydrogen economy development, biotechnology and medical advances, cryogenic cooling solutions for semiconductor manufacturing processes, use of cryogenic systems for food freezing and preservation, and cryopreservation and stem cell banking.
The rising demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is anticipated to drive growth in the cryogenic equipment market. Liquefied natural gas is produced by cooling natural gas to a liquid state at -260 degrees Fahrenheit and is utilized in various everyday activities, including cooking, electricity generation, home heating, and fertilizer manufacturing. The growing demand for LNG is fueled by increasing needs from both domestic and industrial users, as well as the ongoing transition from coal to natural gas for electricity generation. Cryogenic equipment facilitates the transportation of liquefied natural gas through storage tanks, vaporizers, and containers. According to EIN Presswire, a U.S.-based press release distribution company, the global cryogenic equipment market, valued at $19.9 billion in 2022, is expected to reach $39 billion by 2032, growing at an annual rate of 7%. This growth is driven by rising natural gas consumption, the demand for clean energy technologies, and the increasing use of cryogenic equipment in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and healthcare, despite challenges like high costs and safety concerns.
The cryogenic equipment market is witnessing significant growth due to the rise in demand for LNG, a form of natural gas cooled to a liquid state for safe and efficient transportation. Cryogenic equipment and tanks are essential for storing and transporting LNG, contributing to the expansion of the cryogenic equipment market. An example of this demand surge is evident in the International Energy Agency's data, indicating a remarkable 63% increase in LNG cargo shipped to Europe in 2022. This trend underscores the vital role of cryogenic equipment in supporting the growing demand for LNG and its subsequent impact on the cryogenic equipment market.
