2024年,全球低溫閥門市場規模達21.2億美元。展望未來, IMARC Group預計到2033年,市場規模將達到29.1億美元,2025-2033年期間的複合年成長率(CAGR)為3.6%。液化天然氣基礎設施的擴張、工業和化學加工行業的顯著成長、技術的持續進步以及對能源效率的日益重視是推動市場成長的主要因素。
液化天然氣需求不斷增加
全球對液化天然氣 (LNG) 的需求不斷成長,以提供更清潔的能源解決方案,這極大地推動了對低溫閥門的需求。例如,根據殼牌全球發布的一篇文章,預計到 2040 年,全球對液化天然氣 (LNG) 的需求將增加 50% 以上。 2023 年全球液化天然氣貿易量達 4.04 億噸,高於 2022 年的 3.97 億噸。這些閥門因其能夠承受極低溫度的能力,在液化天然氣的生產、儲存和運輸過程中至關重要。預計這些因素將在未來幾年推動低溫閥門市場的發展。
石油和天然氣產業的擴張
石油和天然氣行業的擴張極大地推動了低溫閥門市場的成長。用於運輸和儲存天然氣及其他低溫流體的新管道和儲罐的建設需要使用專用閥門。例如,截至2023年12月,全球正在興建的天然氣輸送管總長近228,700公里,總投資額達7,230億美元。低溫閥門用於應對這些流體所伴隨的極低溫度和高壓。這些因素進一步對低溫閥門市場預測產生了正面影響。
技術進步
密封技術的創新,例如先進的墊片和密封劑,透過減少洩漏並確保在低溫環境下的更佳性能,提高了低溫閥門的可靠性。例如,福斯於2023年11月推出了Worcester低溫球閥,以協助管理逸散排放。這些閥門採用三片式(CF44系列)和法蘭式(CF51/CF52系列)設計,配備高強度閥桿和改良的活載閥桿密封,可實現卓越的逸散性排放控制,從而提升低溫閥門市場的收入。
The global cryogenic valves market size reached USD 2.12 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 2.91 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6% during 2025-2033. Expansion of LNG infrastructure, significant growth in industrial and chemical processing industry, ongoing technological advancements, and increased focus on energy efficiency are primarily driving the market's growth.
Rising Demand for LNG
The growing global demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) for cleaner energy solutions has significantly boosted the need for cryogenic valves. For instance, according to an article published by Shell Global, the global demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is expected to increase by more than 50% by 2040. The global trade in LNG reached 404 million tonnes in 2023, up from 397 million tonnes in 2022. These valves are essential in the LNG production, storage, and transportation processes due to their ability to handle extremely low temperatures. These factors are expected to propel the cryogenic valve market in the coming years.
Expansion of the Oil and Gas Sector
The expansion of the oil and gas industry is significantly driving the growth in the cryogenic valves market. The construction of new pipelines and storage tanks for transporting and storing natural gas and other cryogenic fluids necessitates the use of specialized valves. For instance, in December 2023, there were nearly 228,700 kilometers of gas transmission pipes in development around the world, with a total cost of US$ 723 billion. Cryogenic valves are used to handle the extremely low temperatures and high pressures associated with these fluids. These factors further positively influence the cryogenic valves market forecast.
Technological Advancements
Innovations in sealing technologies, such as advanced gaskets and sealants, enhance the reliability of cryogenic valves by reducing leakage and ensuring better performance in low-temperature environments. For instance, in November 2023, Flowserve launched Worcester Cryogenic ball valves to assist in managing fugitive emissions. These valves, available in three-piece (CF44 series) and flanged (CF51/CF52 series) designs, include a high-strength stem and an improved live-loaded stem seal for superior fugitive emissions control, thereby boosting the cryogenic valves market revenue.
According to the cryogenic valves market outlook, ball valves use a spherical disc (the ball) with a hole through the middle. When the valve is open, the hole aligns with the flow path, allowing fluids to pass through. They offer quick quarter-turn operation, reliable sealing, and low-pressure drop. Ball valves are ideal for applications requiring fast shutoff and precise control. Moreover, check valves allow flow in one direction only, using a disc or ball that moves to block reverse flow. They prevent backflow and protect equipment from damage caused by reverse flow. They are crucial for maintaining system integrity and preventing potential contamination. Besides this, gate valves use a gate-like mechanism that slides up or down to open or close the flow path. They provide a straight-through flow path when open, minimizing turbulence.
According to the cryogenic valves market overview, liquid nitrogen is widely used in industrial processes, medical applications (such as cryopreservation and cryosurgery), and in research and laboratory environments. The demand for cryogenic valves in these applications is relatively high due to the extensive use of LN2. Moreover, liquid helium is crucial for applications requiring extremely low temperatures, such as in superconducting magnets (used in MRI machines and particle accelerators) and in scientific research. Its high demand in specialized fields makes cryogenic valves for liquid helium highly critical. Besides this, liquid hydrogen is used as a fuel in aerospace applications and in hydrogen fuel cells for energy. The growth of hydrogen-based technologies and increasing focus on clean energy contribute to the rising demand for cryogenic valves in these systems.
Cryogenic valves are used for handling liquefied gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen, which are essential in various chemical processes. Moreover, in oil and gas, cryogenic valves are vital for transporting and processing liquefied natural gas (LNG) and other cryogenic hydrocarbons. The growing global demand for LNG, as a cleaner alternative to other fossil fuels, boosts the need for cryogenic valves. Besides this, the expansion of renewable energy sources, such as hydrogen energy, necessitates the use of cryogenic valves for hydrogen storage and distribution. Energy storage solutions like liquefied air energy storage also contribute to the demand.
