The butane gas cartridges market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.5 billion in 2023 to $0.53 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The observed growth in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the increased popularity of outdoor recreational activities, the demand for portable and easy-to-use fuel sources for cooking and heating, the rise in urbanization leading to a need for convenient portable energy solutions, the emergence of small and compact gas-powered appliances, and an increased number of foodservice businesses utilizing portable stoves.

The butane gas cartridges market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.68 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for eco-friendly and recyclable materials used in butane gas cartridges, the growth in the global e-commerce market facilitating online sales and distribution, the increased adoption of butane gas cartridges for emergency preparedness and disaster relief, expanding applications in the industrial and construction sectors, and a rising demand for convenient and energy-efficient solutions. Key trends expected during this period include the integration of butane gas cartridges into portable power generators, the incorporation of safety features like pressure relief valves and leak protection, technological improvements in butane gas cartridge design and manufacturing, the trend towards miniaturization and portability, and the use of eco-friendly and recyclable materials.

The growth of urban population density globally is a key driver for the expanding butane gas cartridges market. These cartridges are utilized for storing butane or a combination of butane and propane gases, commonly used in cooking applications. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a mixture of butane and propane, is particularly prevalent in densely populated urban areas. Notably, East Asia and the Pacific region have witnessed substantial growth in urban populations. In 2019, China's urban population accounted for 60.3% of the total population, while India's urban population represented 34.5%. Projections from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in India estimate a substantial growth in LPG consumption, reaching 30.3 million tons by 2030 and 40.6 million tons by 2040. Consequently, the surge in urban population density is fostering increased utilization of LPG and butane gas, thereby propelling the expansion of the butane gas cartridges market.

The anticipated growth in the tourism and travel industry is set to drive the butane gas cartridges market in the coming years. This upswing is attributed to factors such as rising disposable incomes, improved transportation accessibility, globalization, digital advancements, and a growing inclination towards exploration and leisure activities. The tourism and travel sector significantly contributes to the demand for butane gas cartridges, particularly in portable camping stoves, grills, and outdoor cooking equipment. These cartridges cater to the needs of campers, backpackers, and travelers seeking convenient and portable cooking solutions. Recent data from the United Nations World Tourism Organization reveals a notable increase in international tourism, with approximately 235 million tourists recorded in the first quarter of 2023. The sector's resilience is further evident in the revised 2022 figures, showing over 960 million international tourists, marking a 66% recovery compared to pre-pandemic levels. International tourism receipts also rebounded, surpassing USD 1 trillion, signifying a 50% real-term growth from 2021. The ongoing resurgence in tourism and travel is poised to be a driving force for the butane gas cartridges market throughout the forecast period.

Strategic collaborations have emerged as a prominent trend in the butane gas cartridges market, with major companies prioritizing partnerships to enhance their market position. A notable example is the collaboration between Iwatani Corporation and Toyota, a leading Japanese automotive manufacturer. In November 2021, this collaboration aimed to introduce seven new hydrogen refueling stations in Southern California, reflecting a strategic effort to bolster their presence and contribute to the development of hydrogen-related infrastructure. Such collaborations are indicative of the industry's commitment to innovation and expanding its reach through synergistic partnerships.
