Growth Opportunities in Global Composites Cylinder Market 2010-2015: Trends, Forecast and Market Share Analysis
Lucintel, November 2010, Pages: 109
Background:
The global cylinder industry has witnessed a gradual shift from the type-I steel cylinders to an increased use of composite cylinders in various segments.Type-1 steel cylinders were introduced in 19th century between 1870 to 1880 to store carbon-di-oxide in liquid state for industrial gas business. Use of composites cylinder started in the early 1960s by rocket motors, space shuttles, and other sonar equipments. High pressure composite cylinders were developed especially for space and military applications. Composite cylinders got commercialized during 1970's as it entered into the breathing apparatus market used by firemen. During 1980s these composite cylinders were used for skin diving, fuel storage (mainly natural gas), and leisure applications. Composite cylinders are highly safe, corrosion resistant, light in weight and easily portable, even it has longer life cycle as compared to traditional steel tanks.

Report Outlines Robust Growth for Global Composite Cylinders Market: Market to Reach $1223 Million by 2015
The global cylinders industry has witnessed a gradual shift from the type I steel cylinders to an increased usage of composite cylinders in various segments, with the composite cylinders market experiencing growth in support of an end product market reaching $1223 million by 2015. Composites consumption in the cylinders market is expected to witness a double digit growth rate from 2010-2015 with growing application segments and regional shift.
Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm with over thousands of clients worldwide, has analyzed the global composite cylinders market and published a comprehensive research report, "Growth Opportunities in Global Composite Cylinders Market 2010-2015: Trends, Forecast and Market Share Analysis".
In the last five years, production of natural gas vehicles (NGVs) rose by more than 20%, and the growth rate is expected to be the same in the next few years. The composite cylinders, though little more expensive than its traditional counterparts, has a promising future because of its weight savings, capacity advantage and other performance benefits. Metal cylinders can explode when coming contact with hazardous materials, fire or toxic fumes, but composite cylinders would rupture rather than explode.
Composite cylinders are having major applications in the transportation industry. Light weight composite cylinders provide easy portability to ambulatory patient, firemen, SCUBA divers & also increases fuel efficiency in NGVs.
Lucintel believes that the availability of substitute materials for composite cylinders do not provide a ceiling on industry profitability since composite products are continually growing, as compared to alternate products, on a cost/performance basis.
Lucintel's research report analyzes the global composite cylinders industry, detailing its background and characteristics. The manufacturing process is reviewed and composite cylinders manufacturers are profiled. A market assessment/competitive analysis is performed and market trends (2004-2009) are analyzed. The report also puts forth a six year forecast (2010-2015), highlighting opportunities in this sector.
