Global Cryogenic Fuels Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global cryogenic fuels market

Technavio’s market research report predicts that the global cryogenic fuels market will grow at a CAGR of nearly 7% during forecast period. Improvements in the healthcare sector is one of the primary drivers for market growth. There is a huge demand for industrial gases such as oxygen, liquid oxygen, nitrogen, liquid nitrogen, nitrous oxide, laser mixes, specialty gases, compressed air, and helium in the healthcare sector. Liquid nitrogen is used during transplant procedures in blood bank storage units and for the cryogenic storage of body organs. Furthermore, the economic growth of the emerging countries is anticipated to result in the establishment of new research facilities and institutes over the next four years. This rise in the research and testing facilities, especially in the field of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, will propel the demand for cryogenic gases for freezing biotechnology products, in turn, augmenting market growth.

One of the latest trends that will gain traction in the global cryogenic fuels market is the development of carbon capture technologies. The greenhouse gases such as CO₂, sulfur dioxides, nitrogen dioxides, and other toxic materials such as mercury emitted from power plants and other industries, should be captured pre-and/or post combustion process to cut down on the harsh environment impacts. In addition, these gases should also follow the government regulations and energy solutions have been working on the development of cryogenic carbon capture processes that can be applied to both new and existent sources of harmful emissions. This technique has wide range of applications and can also be used in natural gas processing before pipeline transport since it has the capability to capture sour gases and natural gas liquids.
