This Butane Gas Cartridges market report covers market characteristics, size & growth, segmentation, regional & country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The butane gas cartridges market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.53 billion in 2024 to $0.56 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased popularity of outdoor recreational activities, demand for portable and easy-to-use fuel sources for cooking and heating, increased urbanization and need for convenient portable energy solutions, emergence of small and compact gas-powered appliances, and increased number of foodservice businesses using portable stoves.

The butane gas cartridges market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.73 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for eco-friendly and recyclable butane gas cartridge materials, growth inThe global e-commerce market for online sales and distribution, adoption of butane gas cartridges for emergency preparedness and disaster relief, expanding applications in industrial and construction sectors, and increasing demand for convenient and energy-efficient solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of butane gas cartridges into portable power generators, integration of safety features, such as pressure relief valves and leak protection, technological improvements in butane gas cartridge design and manufacturing, miniaturization and portability, portable power generators, and eco-friendly and recyclable materials.

The growing population density in urban areas around the world is contributing to the expansion of the butane gas cartridges market. Butane gas cartridges are utilized to store butane gas or a mixture of butane and propane gas. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which consists of butane and propane, is commonly used for cooking, and higher population density correlates with increased LPG usage. For example, countries in the East Asia and Pacific region experienced the most significant growth in urban populations during the historical period. According to a report published by a U.S. government agency in January 2024, the global population reached 8,019,876,189 on January 1, 2024, marking an increase of 75,162,541 (0.95%) from New Year’s Day 2023. During January 2024, there are expected to be 4.3 births and 2 deaths worldwide every second. Consequently, the rise in urban population density is driving the demand for LPG and butane gas, which, in turn, fuels the growth of the butane gas cartridges market.

The growth of the butane gas cartridges market is expected to be driven by the rising tourism and travel industry. This increase can be attributed to factors such as higher disposable incomes, improved transportation, globalization, digital platforms, and a growing desire for exploration and leisure experiences, all of which enhance the demand for tourism services and destinations. The tourism and travel sectors boost the demand for butane gas cartridges due to their use in portable camping stoves, grills, and outdoor cooking equipment, catering to campers, backpackers, and travelers looking for convenient cooking solutions. For example, in May 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government agency, reported that UK residents made 86.2 million visits abroad in 2023, up from 71 million in 2022. Thus, the expanding tourism and travel industry will continue to support the growth of the butane gas cartridges market during the forecast period.

Key players in the Butane Gas Cartridges Market are focusing on technological innovations like Level Indicator Technology to enhance user safety, improve consumer convenience, and optimize the overall efficiency of gas usage. Level Indicator Technology is a system that enables real-time monitoring of the contents in a container, allowing users to easily see how much material remains, thereby enhancing safety and convenience. For example, in March 2024, Tradex, an India-based trading and exploitation company, launched an international tender to meet the growing demand for butane gas cylinders in the country. This initiative aims to procure 66,000 commercial butane cylinders of 12.5 kg each and 600 cylinders of 50 kg, all equipped with valves and level indicators. The initiative seeks to address the rising demand for domestic gas in Cameroon, which is projected to grow at an average rate of 5% annually.

In October 2023, Sidi Kerir Petrochemicals Company, based in Abu Dhabi and renowned for its specialization in petrochemical products like polyethylene, Butene-1, and LPG manufacturing and marketing, forged a strategic partnership with Rungas Group, a Nigeria-based company with expertise in petrochemical products. This collaboration, facilitated for an undisclosed amount, is directed towards enhancing Sidi Kerir Petrochemicals Company's presence in the butane gas sector. The primary objective is to establish a butane cylinder factory in Egypt, showcasing a concerted effort to broaden capabilities and strengthen market positioning.
