Carbon Steel Cryogenic Valve Market Report 2025

The carbon steel cryogenic valve market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.11 billion in 2024 to $2.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth during the historic period is driven by rising demand from the oil and gas industry, accelerating industrialization, increased petrochemical production, expanded refining capacities, and growing investments in infrastructure.

The carbon steel cryogenic valve market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.81 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth expected in the forecast period is driven by increasing demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG), greater adoption in aerospace applications, a stronger focus on energy efficiency, expansion of chemical processing facilities, and rising investments in cryogenic storage. Key trends during this period include advancements in valve design technology, increased research and development investments, the creation of smart and automated valves, innovations in corrosion-resistant materials, and the development of environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.

The growing need for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is expected to drive the expansion of the carbon steel cryogenic valve market in the future. LNG is natural gas cooled to approximately -162°C (-260°F), turning it into a liquid that occupies about 600 times less volume, which simplifies storage and transport. This surge in LNG demand is largely fueled by rising energy requirements from industrial growth and urban development, pushing for cleaner and more reliable energy sources. As LNG use increases, so does the necessity for carbon steel cryogenic valves that can safely operate at extremely low temperatures, making them crucial for LNG storage and transportation. These valves help prevent leaks and offer precise flow control, enhancing safety and reliability in cryogenic systems. For example, data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US government agency, shows that LNG exports averaged 11.9 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2023, a 12% rise (1.3 Bcf/d) compared to 2022. Consequently, rising LNG demand is expected to sustain growth in 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.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the machinery sector by increasing costs for steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings critical components often imported from tariff-affected regions. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery now face squeezed margins, as many long-term contracts prevent immediate price adjustments. The uncertainty has also delayed investment in automation and smart machinery technologies, slowing productivity gains. To adapt, firms are accelerating local supplier development, redesigning products to use alternative materials, and leveraging predictive maintenance to extend equipment lifespans amid higher replacement costs.

A carbon steel cryogenic valve is made from carbon steel and designed to function reliably at extremely low temperatures, typically below -150°C. It offers precise regulation of gas or liquid flow in cryogenic settings while ensuring safety and durability. These valves are built to endure thermal stress, corrosion, and pressure variations in harsh environments.

The main types of carbon steel cryogenic valves include gate valves, globe valves, check valves, ball valves, and butterfly valves. They operate via various methods such as manual control, pneumatic actuation, electric actuation, and hydraulic actuation, and come in sizes ranging from small (up to 2 inches) to medium (2 to 8 inches) and large (over 8 inches). These valves are used across industries such as oil and gas, energy and power, chemicals, healthcare, and more, serving sectors such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), cryogenic refrigeration, aerospace, food and beverage processing, as well as medical and pharmaceutical applications.
