Cryogenic Insulation Global Market Report 2024

The global cryogenic insulation market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.67 billion in 2023 to $7.16 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to a focus on sustainability, advancements in aerospace and defense, and the expanding applications in the medical and healthcare sectors.

The global cryogenic insulation market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.43 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing demand in the LNG industry, the expansion of the industrial gas sector, the rise in LNG infrastructure, the growing applications in medical and healthcare, and the increasing demand for energy storage solutions. Major trends expected in this period include space exploration initiatives, the growth of the electronics and semiconductor industry, rising investments in infrastructure, and continuous research and development efforts within the sector.

The increase in demand for LNG is expected to propel the growth of the cryogenic insulation market going forward. Liquid natural gas (LNG) refers to natural gas chilled to a liquid state, or around -260° Fahrenheit, for transportation and storage. The widespread use of LNG is directly contributing to an increase in the use of cryogenic insulation since it offers a clean energy future that is affordable and accessible to all communities, aids in lifting people out of poverty, lowers global energy poverty, boosts local economies, improves the environment, and enables access to modern, reliable energy. For instance, according to the International Gas Union, a UK-based non-profit organization, after a strong post-pandemic recovery, there was an increase in global LNG trade, which increased by 4.5% from 2020 to 2021. LNG imports also grew by 4.5% in 2020 compared to the previous year. Therefore, increasing demand for LNG drives the cryogenic insulation market.

The growing aerospace industry is expected to propel the growth of the cryogenic insulation market going forward. The aerospace industry is a sector that deals with vehicular flight within and beyond Earth's atmosphere and encompasses research, development, design, manufacturing, operation, and maintenance of both aircraft and spacecraft. Cryogenic insulation in the aerospace industry is crucial for maintaining extremely low temperatures in propulsion systems, fuel storage, and spacecraft components, ensuring optimal performance. For instance, in January 2023, according to Cirium Fleet Forecast, a UK-based aerospace corporation, it is estimated that the global demand for new aircraft is expected to reach 44,500 by 2042, worth $2.9 trillion. Therefore, the growing aerospace industry is driving the growth of the cryogenic insulation market.

The anticipated surge in demand for Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) is poised to be a significant driver for the cryogenic insulation market. As LNG gains prominence as a clean and accessible energy source, the need for effective cryogenic insulation is heightened. This insulation is crucial for maintaining extremely low temperatures in the transportation and storage of LNG, contributing to a cleaner energy future. Notably, the International Gas Union reports a substantial increase in global LNG trade and imports, reinforcing the role of cryogenic insulation in meeting the rising demand for LNG.

The robust growth in the aerospace industry is expected to be a catalyst for the cryogenic insulation market. In aerospace, where extreme low temperatures are prevalent, cryogenic insulation plays a vital role in maintaining optimal conditions for propulsion systems, fuel storage, and spacecraft components. The projected demand for new aircraft globally, as estimated by Cirium Fleet Forecast, underscores the importance of cryogenic insulation in ensuring the efficient operation of aerospace systems. This growing aerospace industry is thus a key driver for the expansion of the cryogenic insulation market.

A noteworthy trend in the cryogenic insulation market is the development of advanced insulation systems. Companies like BASF have introduced innovative cryogenic insulation systems, utilizing patented technologies like Elastopor Cryo. These systems enhance the transportation of cryogenic liquid cargo, providing efficient insulation for ships even in challenging sea conditions. The use of such technologies reflects the ongoing trend of advancements in cryogenic insulation systems to meet the diverse needs of transporting low-temperature cargoes.

Major players in the cryogenic insulation market are focusing on product innovation to gain a competitive edge. For instance, in September 2022, Armacell, a UK-based company, launched the introduction of non-combustible aerogel insulation blankets, such as ArmaGel HTL by. These blankets, made from silica aerogel, offer high-performance insulation with properties that address challenges like corrosion under insulation (CUI) while withstanding high temperatures. The versatility and environmental safety of such innovative products make them suitable for various industries, further enhancing the competitive position of companies in the cryogenic insulation market.
