Market Definition
A gas cylinder is a pressure vessel that stores gases at higher than atmospheric pressures. High-pressure gas cylinders, also known as bottles. Depending on the physical qualities of the item, the stored components inside the cylinder may be in a supercritical fluid, compressed gas, Vapour over liquid, or dissolved in a substrate material. The valve and connecting connection are positioned at the top of a normal gas cylinder design, extending and standing upright on a flattened bottom end. The increasing focus of renowned manufacturers on developing unique cylinder designs that are capable of improving safety measures, optimizing handling and storage abilities, and are lightweight is anticipated to drive the market. The increased use of gas cylinders in various applications such as water treatment, soldering, beverage dispensing, medical purposes, heating and cooking, and fire extinguishing is expected to increase demand worldwide.
Gas Cylinder Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Increase in the demand of medical oxygen cylinder
Medical care providers frequently use oxygen gas cylinders for therapeutic and diagnostic reasons. Medical oxygen gas systems, such as oxygen, concentrators, and compressed oxygen gas cylinders, are widely used in homecare settings and are typically selected by elderly patients with mobility issues and require a consistent oxygen supply.
The global increase in industrialization has had a negative impact on the overall quality of breathing air. Because of fast growth and increased pollution, the air quality index (AQI) has been elevated, increasing the prevalence of respiratory disorders. Patients suffering from chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) require oxygen supplementation to improve their quality of life. Pollution, cigarette smoke, occupational chemicals and dust, and other factors can contribute to Chronic Rrespiratory Diseases (CRDs). In recent years, there has been an increase in the senior population with chronic conditions requiring ongoing respiratory assistance.
- Rise in the consumption of LPG cylinders for various application
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a fuel that burns cleanly, is sustainable, and is efficient. Because it is a sustainable, low-carbon, efficient, and innovative energy source. It provides advantages to customers. Industry and the environment LPG is less expensive than other traditional fuels since most of its energy is turned into heat, and it can be transported, stored, and utilized in a wide range of applications, including residential, commercial, agriculture, industrial, and auto gas.
LPG is a gas, but it is frequently kept under pressure, which converts it to a liquid. One of the major advantages of LPG over other energy sources is its ease of transportation. It has a better heating value and contains no Sulphur. Because LPG burns regularly, it is more dependable than other kinds of energy. LPG is more ecologically friendly than other energy sources. Though all energy sources emit carbon dioxide, when compared to oil, LPG emits just 81% of the carbon dioxide that oil produces. When compared to coal, another energy source, LPG emits just 70% of the carbon dioxide.
Opportunities
- Rise in cylinder innovation and technological advancements
Gas cylinder manufacturers are constantly improving their cylinder packages to satisfy changing market demands. Higher pressures, digital displays, and newly engineered guards and valves allow for more gas, cylinder intelligence, and simpler transportation without compromising safety. The transportation of high-value gases is crucial, increasing the demand for secure, controlled gas cylinders. Advances in the compression of volatile and nonreactive gases have affected the production of gas cylinders. Enhanced safety and innovative cylinder designs have improved the handling and storage capabilities of gas cylinders. As a result of this rise in cylinder innovation and technological advancements are expected to provide a market growth opportunity for the gas cylinder market. As a result of this rise in cylinder innovation and technological advancements are expected to provide a market growth opportunity for the gas cylinder market.
Restraints/Challenges
- The fluctuations of gas cylinder prices
Gas cylinders are made up of materials like steel, composite, and others. Steel materials are majorly used in the manufacturing of gas cylinders because of their better anti-stress capability, which saves energy during production, increases strength, anl is 100% recyclable at the end of the ' 'product's life. The composite cylinder is made from aluminum alloy, and the Composite cylinder is a three-layer cylinder made up of a blow-molded HDPE inner liner, covered with a composite layer of polymer-wrapped fiberglass, and fitted with a HDPE outer jacket. The prices of these materials are fluctuating in recent years, which makes gas cylinder prices also fluctuate.
Iron ore and scrap metal are the 2 major raw materials used in the steelmaking process. That is to say, steel production cost is directly related to the prices and availability of iron ore and scrap. For Instance, for the past few months, the continuously surging prices of iron ore from Australia (the largest supplier of iron ore in global trade) have been directly reflected in the recent spike in the steel market. Meanwhile, the availability of scrap metal used for recycled steel production can also affect costs.
- Due to rising demand for different gases, the supply chain system is under intense strain
The globe is in a supply chain crisis, with firms in every industry facing significant hurdles. A global shipping problem has resulted from the epidemic and its global reaction. Demand is outstripping supply, sea freight prices are at an all-time high, and container capacity is extremely limited. Unfortunately, there is no quick answer, and it appears that high shipping charges, lengthier lead times, and capacity bottlenecks will remain in the first half of 2022. Shipping businesses have predicted that things would start to improve in the second part of the year.
The major raw materials needed to fabricate gas cylinders posed another hurdle to the global supply chain. The epidemic has caused major disruption worldwide in mining and industry, resulting in a global scarcity of aluminum. As a result, aluminum prices have doubled, and cylinder makers can't acquire enough aluminum to boost manufacturing capacity, while mounting demand and supply restrictions have driven carbon fibre costs to record highs. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has unintended consequences, such as higher gasoline prices and flights being rerouted to avoid Russian airspace.
