Carbon Steel Cryogenic Valve Market Report 2026

The carbon steel cryogenic valve market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.24 billion in 2025 to $2.37 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of oil and gas processing, expansion of industrial gas storage, demand for low temperature processing, development of cryogenic technologies, industrial safety regulations.

The carbon steel cryogenic valve market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.97 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increase in lng trade, growth of hydrogen infrastructure, expansion of cryogenic healthcare systems, demand for energy efficient valves, industrial automation adoption. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for cryogenic flow control solutions, expansion of lng infrastructure projects, increasing use in ultra low temperature applications, focus on high durability valve materials, growth of safety critical valve installations.

The increasing demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is expected to drive the growth of the carbon steel cryogenic valve market going forward. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas cooled to approximately -162°C (-260°F) to convert it into a liquid form, reducing its volume by about 600 times for easier storage and transportation. The rising demand for LNG is driven by growing energy needs from industrialization and urbanization, which increase the requirement for reliable and cleaner energy sources. This demand boosts the carbon steel cryogenic valve market by creating a need for valves capable of safely handling extremely low temperatures, making them critical for LNG storage and transport. These valves ensure leak-proof operation and precise flow control, enhancing system safety and reliability in cryogenic applications. For example, in April 2024, the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based government agency, reported that US LNG exports averaged 11.9 bcfd in 2023, a 12% increase (1.3 bcfd) compared with 2022. Therefore, the increasing demand for liquefied natural gas is driving the growth of the carbon steel cryogenic valve market.

Leading companies in the carbon steel cryogenic valve market are concentrating on creating advanced solutions such as bubble-tight shutoff designs to eliminate leaks and guarantee safe, dependable performance in extremely low-temperature conditions. Bubble-tight shutoff means the valve completely seals without any leakage when fully closed. For example, in March 2023, Flowserve Corporation, a US-based manufacturer of flow-control products and services, introduced the Worcester 51/52 series reduced port flanged ball valves. These valves provide reliable bubble-tight shutoff and support bi-directional flow, offering flexibility in various processes. They also feature low operating torque, enabling the use of compact actuators, which helps lower space and cost demands. Moreover, their special build configurations allow customization to fit specific customer needs, boosting their adaptability and effectiveness across different industrial applications.

In November 2024, Crane Company, an American industrial manufacturer, purchased Technifab Products Inc. for $38.8 million. This acquisition allowed Crane Company to broaden its range of cryogenic products and enhance its footprint in the industrial and aerospace sectors by incorporating Technifab’s knowledge in cryogenic valves and transfer systems. Technifab Products Inc. is a US firm that focuses on carbon steel cryogenic valves and vacuum-insulated systems designed for the safe handling of liquefied gases.
