Supportive Clean Fuel Policies

Several government authorities across the world are supporting and imposing the clean fuel policies, which are being implemented in the respective regions. For instance, in March 2021, New Mexico’s state Senate approved a bill to introduce a clean fuel standard, which is likely to help them meet their carbon reduction goals. Such initiatives focus on limiting the use of conventional fuels in transportation. As a result, natural gas is expected emerge rapidly as an alternative fuel, and it would be the second-largest contributor to the energy mix, accounting for 25% by 2045.
In Asia Pacific, many governments are incentivizing consumers to convert their vehicles to clean gas (LPG) fuel-driven vehicles. The Government of India is planning to slash GST (Goods and Service Tax) on conversion kits along with providing subsidy support to consumers shifting to environment-friendly fuels. Further, the growth of the vacuum insulated pipes market in the region would be supported by the surging demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) with the rapidly growing aerospace and manufacturing sectors. Therefore, rising government initiatives to adopt clean fuel policies are bolstering the demand for LNG, subsequently boosting the adoption of vacuum insulated pipes in oil and gas plants.

Product-Based Market Insights

Based on product, the vacuum insulated pipe market is bifurcated into standard and customized. The standard segment led the market in 2020. Standard pipes are considered as conventional insulated pipes and hold the majority market share. These pipe are made from steel and fused with a vacuum between inner and outer pipes. The vacuum insulated pipes are available in various size ranging from 0.5 inch to more than 5 inches. Furthermore, the diversified use in transferring large volume of cryogenic liquid including LNG, hydrogen, nitrogen, and others is driving the adoption of standard vacuum insulated pipes. Furthermore, the growing number of SMEs in emerging economies across APAC coupled with ease of transportation and lower cost of standard pipes than customize standard vacuum insulated pipes are among another factors propelling the market growth for the standard vacuum insulated pipe segment.

Players operating in the vacuum insulated pipe market focus on strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, and market initiatives to maintain their positions in the market. A few developments by key players are listed below:
In 2019, Air Liquide increases stake its stake in Air Liquide Munay Tech Gases (ALMTG) by 75%. The joint venture also announced that it is planning to invest up to €86 million to acquire hydrogen and nitrogen production units from Atyrau refinery owned by KazMunayGas. As per the new agreement, LMTG will operate these assets to supply industrial gases to the Atyrau refinery.
In 2021, Acme Cryogenics, Inc. acquired Cryogenic Experts, Inc. The acquisition aimed to broaden the company’s cryogenic and non-cryogenic specialty fluids product line and increase its business presence in West Coast of the US.
