Cryogenic Insulation Market Report 2026

The cryogenic insulation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.4 billion in 2025 to $7.8 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of lng production and transport, growth of cryogenic storage facilities, increasing use of industrial gases, rising investments in energy infrastructure, availability of advanced insulation materials.

The cryogenic insulation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.62 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing hydrogen economy investments, rising demand for energy-efficient insulation solutions, expansion of cryogenic applications in healthcare, growing focus on low-carbon energy systems, increasing integration of smart insulation technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for lng and cryogenic storage infrastructure, rising use of advanced insulation materials, growing adoption in hydrogen and energy transition projects, expansion of low-temperature transport systems, enhanced focus on thermal efficiency and safety.

The growing aerospace industry is expected to drive the growth of the cryogenic insulation market. The aerospace sector involves vehicular flight within and beyond Earth’s atmosphere, including research, development, design, manufacturing, operation, and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft. Cryogenic insulation is critical in aerospace 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 company, global demand for new aircraft is projected to reach 44,500 units by 2042, representing a value of $2.9 trillion. Therefore, the growing aerospace industry is driving the demand for cryogenic insulation.

Major companies in the cryogenic insulation market are developing innovations such as aerogel-based flexible insulation blankets to enhance thermal performance, reduce material thickness, and optimize installation space. Aerogel-based flexible insulation blankets incorporate silica aerogel particles within a reinforced fiber matrix, offering extremely low thermal conductivity while remaining lightweight and conformable. For example, in April 2025, Armacell, a Luxembourg-based manufacturer of engineered foams and technical insulation, launched ArmaGel® XGC, a next-generation cryogenic and dual-temperature aerogel insulation blanket. It delivers superior thermal performance down to -196 °C, features a low-dust formulation for installer safety, and provides a thin, flexible blanket suitable for wrapping pipes, tanks, and equipment - reducing space requirements, improving energy efficiency, and enabling faster, safer installation compared to conventional insulation materials.

In August 2024, Dover, a US-based industrial products manufacturer, acquired SPS Cryogenics B.V. and Special Gas Systems B.V. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to enhance Dover's offerings and strengthen its capabilities within the cryogenic sector. SPS Cryogenics B.V. is a Netherlands-based manufacturer specializing in vacuum-insulated piping systems for the cryogenics industry, while its sister company, Special Gas Systems (SGS) B.V., is also based in the Netherlands and produces cryogenic systems and components.
