Industrial Gas Cylinders Market Report 2026

The industrial gas cylinders market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.41 billion in 2025 to $7.9 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial gas consumption growth, healthcare infrastructure expansion, metal fabrication demand, welding industry development, industrial safety regulations.

The industrial gas cylinders market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.12 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to hydrogen economy development, healthcare gas demand growth, advanced manufacturing expansion, lightweight cylinder adoption, stricter safety standards. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand from manufacturing industries, growing use in medical and healthcare applications, expansion of hydrogen and specialty gas storage, increased adoption of composite cylinders, focus on safety and regulatory compliance.

The increase in natural gas production is expected to drive the growth of the industrial gas cylinders market going forward. Natural gas is a fossil fuel primarily composed of methane (CH₄) along with smaller quantities of hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane. The rising demand for liquefied natural gas exports and elevated energy prices are stimulating drilling activity across major production regions, leading to record-high natural gas output levels. Greater natural gas production necessitates expanded storage and transportation infrastructure, with cylinders serving as essential vessels for safely containing compressed gases during distribution from production sites to end users. For instance, according to the United States Energy Information Administration, a United States-based government agency, in July 2025, domestic dry natural gas production rose to 3.34 trillion cubic feet, averaging 108 billion cubic feet per day, marking a 3.7% increase compared to July 2024. Therefore, the increase in natural gas production is driving the growth of the industrial gas cylinders market.

Key companies operating in the industrial gas cylinders market are focusing on developing lightweight gas containers such as 70 bar calibration gas cylinders to meet the growing demand for efficient and user-friendly gas storage solutions. 70 bar calibration gas cylinders are high-pressure containers used to store and deliver precise gas mixtures for testing and instrument calibration, offering improved safety, portability, and durability for industrial and field operations. For instance, in August 2024, Luxfer Gas Cylinders, a United States-based manufacturer of high-pressure composite and aluminum cylinders, introduced the A981/1/l, a portable calibration gas cylinder with a service pressure of 70 bar and a weight of only 0.8 kg. The cylinder is made using Luxfer’s proprietary aluminum alloy and process, providing stable internal surfaces for a longer shelf life of unstable gas blends and full compliance with TPED and DOT standards. It accommodates a range of calibration gases, including methane, oxygen, nitrogen oxide, and carbon monoxide, delivering robust containment and superior performance for industrial gas producers and calibration gas users across multiple applications.

In September 2023, Air Water America Inc., a United States-based industrial gas company, acquired American Gas Products LLC for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen Air Water America’s industrial gas presence in North America by ensuring a reliable helium supply, expanding its market share in balloon helium, and supporting growth in key sectors such as healthcare and semiconductors while improving purchasing power and supply stability. American Gas Products LLC is a United States-based manufacturer and supplier of a broad range of industrial gas cylinders.
