  The rising need for clean energy sources is driving the market growth

  
  

Market CAGR for cryogenic equipment is driven by the rising demand for clean energy power and is anticipated to boost the market growth. The transportation, storage, and regasification applications for generating clean energy hold substantial market growth potential. Development in the healthcare industry from developing economies and significant investment into metallurgical, chemical & petrochemical sectors would propel the demand for the equipment used in the cryogenic application. Hence, the growing awareness of adopting clean energy sources globally propels the global cryogenic equipment market revenue.

The ongoing development of advanced technologies, sustainable cryogenic units, and rising projects related to integrating liquefication procedures and combined-cycle gasification will foster the industry dynamics. Accelerating acquisitions in chemical plants and refineries in line with the expansive suburban migration will fuel cryogenic equipment adoption. In addition, an increasing customer base, helped by an enhancing number of advanced solutions, will expand the business landscape. For instance, in June 2021, Dalian Shipbuilding Industry, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, delivered the world’s first dual-fuel VLCC 2x3500m³ C-type liquefied natural gas cryogenic storage tank.

Growing expenditure on space and satellite missions is anticipated to drive the market for these developments for holding specimens from space in cryogenic gases owing to their inert nature. Moreover, with the depletion of coal resources, liquefied natural gas-based power plants are increasing as a clean source of energy, which presents a considerable market development opportunity for cryogenic equipment. Moreover, initiatives have been taken by the U.S. government to create 18 GW of renewed gas-based power plants, which is due to the increase in the industrial and power sectors. This carries a potential growth opportunity for these products. Improved natural gas consumption and enhanced healthcare in the nations are two important industry drivers for cryogenic equipment.
