Cryogenic tanks are vacuum insulated vessels used for storing cryogenic liquids such as liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid argon, liquid carbon dioxide and liquid hydrogen at very low temperatures. They are primarily used in several industrial applications such as metal manufacturing, energy power, electronics, medical technology, food beverage and shipping. Cryogenic tanks play a vital role in ensuring safe and efficient transportation along with storage of industrial gases. The global Cryogenic Tanks Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 6.51 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.0% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Opportunity:

The growing demand for industrial gases from various end-use industries such as healthcare, energy power, food beverage and metal manufacturing is expected to drive the growth of cryogenic tanks market over the forecast period. Industrial gases like oxygen, nitrogen and argon find wide applications in the manufacturing processes of these industries. Moreover, the demand for liquified natural gas is also growing significantly owing to rising focus on cleaner sources of fuel. This is expected to increase the need for cryogenic storage and transportation solutions like cryogenic tanks and tankers. The ability of cryogenic tanks to efficiently store industrial gases at very low temperatures makes them ideal for the safe handling and transportation of gases over long distances. Thus, the increasing demand for industrial gases from different industries presents lucrative market opportunities for cryogenic tanks during the forecast period.

Porter's Analysis
Threat of new entrants: Moderate, high capital requirements for manufacturing cryogenic tanks act as a barrier. However, growing demand opens opportunities.
