Cryogenic Insulation Market Trends




  • Increased demand for clean and environmentally sustainable energy resources will drive market growth




The demand for clean and environmentally friendly energy sources is one of the major factors fueling growth in the cryogenic insulation industry. An increase in CO2 emissions has accompanied a rise in economic activity. CO2 emissions have been reduced due to efforts to switch to renewable energy and decarbonize the power system. Natural gas provides a cheap, clean option in place of fossil fuels like diesel, petrol and fuel oil. Compressed or liquefied versions are utilized in automobiles. To control the output of air pollutants like CO2 from internal combustion engines and spark-ignition engines, the Indian government created the Bharat Stage Emission Standards 6 (BS6) in 2019. All vehicle manufacturers in India are required to abide by the BS6 standards. Natural gas is used more frequently in the transportation industry due to its lower pollutant output, which is what is propelling the market CAGR for cryogenic insulation.


Furthermore, living in an urban region is linked to better health, access to social services, social and cultural possibilities, and career and educational opportunities. For a greater level of living, people go to towns and cities. 4.46 billion people called urban areas home as of 2021. 6.68 billion people will live in cities ly by 2050, an increase of 2.22 billion from today. As a result, the demand for energy and the market it services will increase as urbanization and quality of life increase.


Additionally, the increased demand for electric power generated from renewable energy sources will cause a rise in LNG consumption during the upcoming years. A greater emphasis on distributed electricity and utility projects will support the growth. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) demand will rise due to the anticipated increase in natural gas usage in the power-generating sector in a number of different nations. In the world, coal is the main energy source used to produce electricity, but as coal supplies are depleted and coal use negatively impacts the environment, natural gas and other renewable energy sources are being used more frequently, increasing the number of renewable energy plants. Cryogenic insulation between the pipes, tanks, and plant structure is required in plants to efficiently limit heat exchange. For the LNG value chain facilities to operate efficiently, this is essential. Additionally, excessive temperature swings are avoided by cryogenic insulation, limiting accidental plant component expansion and the tension that would follow for connecting parts. Thus, driving the cryogenic insulation market revenue.


Cryogenic Insulation Market Segment Insights


Cryogenic Insulation End-Use Industry Insights


The cryogenic insulation market segmentation, based on end-use industry includes energy & power, food & beverages, chemical and medical. The energy & power segment dominated the market. Due to the expansion of the industrial and residential sectors, there is expected to be an increase in the demand for energy and electricity in developing economies, which is further anticipated to lead to an increase in product demand.


Cryogenic Insulation Material Type Insights


The cryogenic insulation market segmentation, based on material type, includes PU/PIR, polystyrene and cellular glass. The PU/PIR category generated the most income due to the expanding need for liquefaction and regasification. Gases are routinely kept at extremely low temperatures in cryogenic insulation consisting of PUR and PIR. Additionally, it is projected that as the transportation of these liquefied gases develops, there will be a greater need for insulating pipelines, storage tanks, and valves. There will likely be more LNG facilities, LNG transport ships, and storage tanks, which will enhance the demand for PUR and PIR cryogenic insulation.
