Asia-Pacific is expected to hold the largest market share in the global cryogenic valve market in 2017, due to rising transportation of LNG. Countries such as China, India, Australia, and Japan have huge demand for LNG in electronic equipment, chemicals, and metallurgy processes to meet the growing demand from industrial sectors. According to World gas LNG report 2018, Europe stood the largest importing in LNG, owing to increased use in power generation, which is followed by Asia-Pacific as second, which drives the cryogenic valve market substantially.

Global cryogenic valve market has been segmented based on gas, type, end-user, application, and region. Based on gas, the market is classified into LNG, oxygen, nitrogen and others. LNG segment is leading the market and has the largest market share, mainly due to its non-flammable characteristics and easy transformation from natural gas to LNG and vice-versa which allows to use at wide range of application such as power generation, industrial uses and alternative transportation fuel. Based on type, the market is segmented as globe, gate, ball, check and others. Ball valve segment dominates the market as it provides efficient heat transfer capability, provides additional blow out protection when assembled with viton stem seals, double sealing provides more reliability and security of operation. It has a good flow characteristic over other valves. The cryogenic valve market is further segmented based on end-user, including energy & power, food & beverage, chemicals and others. Energy & power segment is dominating the market mainly due to large application of natural gas for power generation, Hence, it is anticipated to dominate the cryogenic valve market globally.

The global cryogenic valve market is expected to grow at 4.49% CAGR during the forecast period.
