Cryogenic Valve Assembly Market Report 2025

The cryogenic valve assembly market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.51 billion in 2024 to $4.9 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. Growth in the historic period was driven by the rising use of natural gas for power generation, increased investment in liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure, growing demand for industrial gases in healthcare and electronics, expanding applications of cryogenics in space exploration, and greater reliance on clean energy technologies.

The cryogenic valve assembly market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.76 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. Growth in the forecast period is expected to be supported by the rising demand for efficient gas flow control systems, greater emphasis on the safe handling of cryogenic liquids, increasing investments in hydrogen economy projects, the global expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, and the growing adoption of cryogenics in food preservation and biotechnology sectors. Key trends projected for this period include the integration of smart valve technologies for real-time monitoring, advancements in modular valve assembly systems, improvements in valve materials for extreme conditions, increased use of automation in valve operations, and the development of compact and lightweight valve designs.

The rising demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is expected to drive the growth of the cryogenic valve assembly market in the coming years. LNG is natural gas cooled to a liquid state at extremely low temperatures for efficient storage and transportation. Its demand is increasing due to lower carbon emissions compared to coal and oil, making it a preferred energy source under global climate policies. Cryogenic valve assemblies are essential in LNG systems, as they provide precise flow control and reliable operation at ultra-low temperatures. They enhance safety and efficiency by minimizing leaks and fugitive emissions, ensuring optimal performance in demanding conditions. For example, in September 2023, U.S. LNG exports rose by 4% in the first half of the year compared to the same period in 2022, reaching an average of 11.6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). This growth underscores how rising LNG consumption is boosting demand for cryogenic valve assemblies.

Companies in the market are focusing on introducing advanced technologies to improve sealing performance, reduce emissions, and increase reliability in critical applications. One key innovation is the quarter-turn floating ball valve, which uses a freely supported ball rotated 90 degrees to start or stop fluid flow, creating a tight seal against the seat. In November 2023, Flowserve Corporation, a US-based valve manufacturer, launched the Worcester Cryogenic series, a new line of quarter-turn floating ball valves designed for LNG, hydrogen, and other ultra-low-temperature industries. These valves feature a high-strength stem, advanced live-loaded stem seals for superior emissions control, and a modular bolted bonnet design. This configuration improves operational flexibility, reduces spare parts requirements, and lowers total cost of ownership, making it suitable for long-term, demanding applications.

In July 2025, Alfa Laval AB, a Sweden-based industrial manufacturing company, acquired Fives Energy Cryogenics SAS for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition strengthens Alfa Laval’s cryogenic technology capabilities and supports its strategy in energy transition markets. By integrating Fives’ expertise, Alfa Laval aims to expand its offerings in LNG, hydrogen, carbon capture, and industrial gases. Fives Energy Cryogenics SAS, based in France, specializes in cryogenic engineering and manufacturing of cryogenic valve assemblies, enhancing Alfa Laval’s ability to meet growing global demand.

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 rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the oil and gas sector, particularly in exploration equipment, pipeline infrastructure, and refinery operations. Elevated duties on imported drilling rigs, steel pipes, and specialized machinery have driven up capital costs for both upstream and downstream activities. Midstream operators are burdened by price hikes on valves, compressors, and storage tanks, disrupting ongoing expansion projects. Meanwhile, refiners face rising costs for imported catalysts and control systems essential for processing efficiency. Retaliatory tariffs from key trade partners have also dampened U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and crude oil, weakening market competitiveness. To mitigate these challenges, companies are increasingly investing in domestic manufacturing partnerships, digital asset management, and energy diversification strategies to sustain operations and protect profit margins.

A cryogenic valve assembly is a specialized system designed to regulate the flow of extremely cold fluids or gases, typically at temperatures below -150 °C. These valves are built to endure thermal stresses and prevent leakage under cryogenic conditions, ensuring safe, precise, and reliable control of cryogenic liquids or gases in industrial, medical, and aerospace applications.

The primary types of cryogenic valve assemblies include ball valves, butterfly valves, check valves, gate valves, and globe valves. A ball valve uses a spherical ball with a hole through its center to manage the flow of liquids or gases, offering fast and dependable shut-off or regulation. These valves handle various cryogenic media such as liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid argon, liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquid hydrogen, and others. They are constructed from materials such as stainless steel, nickel alloys, Stellite, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), and graphite. Applications include cryogenic air separation units (CASU) and non-cryogenic air separation units (Non-CASU), with major end-user industries spanning metallurgy, energy and power, chemicals, electronics, transportation, and more.
