INDUSTRIAL GAS CYLINDER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Industrial Gas Cylinder Market size stood at USD 8.34 billion in 2025, growing further to USD 13.73 billion by 2034 at an estimated CAGR of 5.7% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Industrial Gas Cylinder Market size is projected at USD 2.71172 billion in 2025, the Europe Industrial Gas Cylinder Market size is projected at USD 2.24393 billion in 2025, and the China Industrial Gas Cylinder Market size is projected at USD 2.14886 billion in 2025.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Industrial Gas Cylinder Market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

An industrial gas cylinder is a specialized container used for storing and transporting compressed gases that are used in various industrial applications. These cylinders are designed to safely hold gases under high pressure and are made from durable materials such as steel or aluminum. Industrial gas cylinders come in different sizes and shapes, but they typically have a cylindrical body with a valve and pressure gauge on top. The valve allows for controlled release of the gas when needed, while the pressure gauge indicates the pressure level inside the cylinder.

These cylinders are commonly used to store gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, and acetylene. The gases stored in industrial gas cylinders serve a wide range of purposes in industries such as manufacturing, construction, healthcare, welding and metal fabrication, chemical processing, food and beverage, and more.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market to witness plunge in demand because of pandemic

The pandemic caused disruptions in global supply chains due to lockdown measures, travel restrictions, and temporary closures of manufacturing facilities. This led to delays in the production and delivery of industrial gas cylinders, affecting the overall market. Many industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and construction, experienced a significant decline in activity during the pandemic. This resulted in reduced demand for industrial gases and cylinders, as manufacturing and construction projects were put on hold or scaled back.
