Cryogenic pumps or cryopumps are cryogenic equipment used for transferring and pressurization liquefied gases. It is a type of vacuum pump used for cryogenic gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, LPG, and argon. Cryogenic pumps enable efficient cooling, making them ideal for applications where rapid and sustainable cooling is required. Further, the design of these pumps allows them to operate at high precision, ensuring optimal performance even in extreme conditions. Moreover, the cryogenic pumps are built with safety devices that make them leak-proof, ensuring that they are highly safe while transferring the cryogens. In the past few years, cryogenic pump manufacturers have integrated an automated control system, which further enhances monitoring and precise operations of these pumps.
The cryogenic pump market is expected to experience significant growth in the coming years due to industrialization, especially in emerging economies. The cryogenic pump market is gaining traction with the growing demand for liquefied gases. The rising demand for sustainable and clean fuels to replace fossil fuels, which emit carbon emissions. As a result, the demand for LNG increased, ultimately driving the need for gas handling systems. Asia Pacific is one of the largest consumers of LNG owing to industrialization in countries such as China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia. As per the data published by Shell plc, Asia Pacific economic growth is projected to drive a 60% increase in LNG demand by 2040. More than 170 million tonnes of new LNG supply is expected to grow by 2030 to meet the growing demand, especially from Asian countries. China and India are two major countries in Asia Pacific that are taking notable initiatives to increase their LNG import capacity. Increasing demand for liquefied natural gas and growing industrial investments, among others, are some of the major drivers boosting the growth of the market.
The demand for clean energy fuels and renewables is growing at an unprecedented rate, with a growing focus on carbon emissions and pollution. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is one of the clean energy fuels with diverse applications. The fuel is the source for heating, electricity generation. The adoption of LNG has increased significantly as it is highly suitable for power generation and industrial applications, owing to its high efficiency while emitting low carbon emissions. Cryogenic pumps play an important role in the transportation of LNG. For effective transportation, the natural gas is maintained at an extremely low temperature. These pumps have a special design that includes special materials, thermal insulation, and sealing that ensures safety and reliability at extreme temperatures. Thus, the adoption of cryogenic pumps is high in the LNG industry.
As per the data published by Shell plc in February 2024, the global LNG trade reached 404 million tons in 2023, up from 397 million tons in 2022. Further, as per the data published by the Department of Energy in 2024, the LNG demand in 2021 was 100 billion cubic meters (bcm), whereas in 2022, the demand reached ~175 billion cubic meters (bcm). Asia Pacific accounted for a major share of the global demand for LNG. As per the data published by Shell Plc in 2025, the demand for LNG strengthened in 2024; China was one of the notable countries in the region. In 2024, China imported 79 million tons of LNG. On the other hand, India’s imports peaked in 2024 to meet the increasing power demand. The demand for LNG in 2024 in India reached 27 million tons, which is a 20% hike from 2023. Malaysia and Indonesia have emerged as notable exporters of LNG in Asia Pacific. According to the data published by the International Gas Union in 2023, Indonesia’s LNG exports reached 15.6 million tons in 2023, while Malaysia exported 2.6 million tons. However, the export capacity of both countries is ~30 million tons. Thus, the surging demand for LNG and expansion of trades across the globe subsequently accelerates the demand for cryogenic pumps for efficient and secure transportation.
The global demand for energy is growing rapidly, owing to industrialization and urbanization. As per the data published by the International Energy Agency in 2025, the global energy demand increased by 2.2% in 2024 from 2023, faster than the average growth rate of the past decade. Further, between 2024 and 2030, it is expected that the capacity of renewable energy generation will be increased by 5,500 gigawatts (GW), three times higher than the increase witnessed between 2017 and 2023. This shows rapid growth in demand for energy. Thus, to meet the growing demand, the government and energy companies worldwide are undertaking various research and developmental activities to develop innovative energy generation and storage systems. Cryogenic Energy Storage is one of them. Cryogenic energy storage involves the use of extremely low temperatures to release and store energy. This provides an efficient and effective solution for large-scale energy system projects. In cryogenic energy storage, gases are cooled down to convert air into a liquid form, which is then stored at a very low temperature. Cryogenic pumps play an important role in these systems by handling the cryogens (liquified gases) effectively and efficiently.
Considering the increased energy demand and need for energy storage systems, governments are investing in the development and installation of cryogenic energy storage systems. For instance, in October 2024, the Scottish government inaugurated the world’s largest liquid air LDES project in the country. In November 2024, researchers at Dongguk University in South Korea successfully designed a standalone liquid air energy storage (LAES) system with significant improvements in energy efficiency and economic performance. Moreover, in October 2024, the UK government announced the initiation of a US$ 300 million cryogenic energy storage system project in Manchester, UK. Such growing investments in cryogenic energy storage systems, owing to increasing demand for energy, are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the cryogenic pump market during the forecast period.
