Metallurgy: The largest segment of the cryogenic valve assembly market, by end-user industry.
By end-user industry, the cryogenic valve assembly market was segmented into five categories: energy & power, chemical, metallurgy, electronics, and transportation, apart from others. The segment, metallurgy, is expected to capture the largest share of the market by end user. Given the widespread use of cryogenic gases such as oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N₂), and argon (Ar) in metallurgical processes such as steel manufacturing, welding, and fabrication, these gases are important in improving product quality, improving combustion efficiency, and also in controlling temperatures while processing metal. The increasing demand from sectors involved in manufacturing high-quality metals, including construction, automotive, and industrial metal products, increases the need for reliable cryogenic valve assemblies. The large increase in infrastructure development and more advanced treatments of metal also increases the segment growth.The CASU segment is estimated to remain the larger segment in terms of application.
Based on application, the cryogenic valve assembly market has been segmented into CASU and non-CASU. The cryogenic air separation unit (CASU) segment is projected to dominate the cryogenic valve assembly market owing to the significance of cryogenic valves in generating an array of high-purity industrial gases, particularly oxygen, nitrogen, and argon.The aforementioned gases are used throughout a multitude of industries, including healthcare and medical uses, metallurgy, electronics, and chemical uses. The demand for medical-grade oxygen has also grown tremendously since the pandemic, further abating the demand for CASU installations along with improving industrial production and degree of industrialization in developing markets. The cryogenic valves are used to control and isolate the flow of extremely cold gas to the unit, which is used in these facilities that utilize cryogenic valves.
The globe valves segment is estimated to emerge as the second-largest segment based on type.
By end use, the cryogenic valve assembly market has been segmented into gate, globe, ball, check, and butterfly valves, apart from others. Globe valves are estimated to be the second-largest cryogenic valve assembly type due to their precise throttling capabilities and effective flow regulation in cryogenic applications. Their robust design ensures reliable performance under high-pressure, low-temperature conditions, making them ideal for LNG, industrial gas, and chemical industries. Increasing demand for controlled flow systems further supports their growth.North America is projected to be the second-fastest-growing region in the cryogenic valve assembly market.
North America is estimated to be the second-fastest region in the cryogenic valve assembly market between 2024 and 2029. The North American market consists of the US, Canada, and Mexico. North America is projected to be the second fastest-growing region in the cryogenic valve assemblies market due to its strong LNG infrastructure, increased investment into clean energy technologies such as carbon capture and hydrogen, and important players in aerospace, healthcare, and chemicals.Continuous improvements in medical technologies and growing cryogenic gas volumes in surgical and diagnostic settings will also have a positive effect on cryogenic demand. Additionally, the US government’s dedication to diversifying the energy supply and allowing for increasing exports of natural gas will especially help improve the market potential in this region. Key manufacturers are also located in this region, and upgrading industrial gas supply chains will further help drive both the adoption and acceptability of cryogenic valve assemblies, which are already increasing across North America.
