LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS CYLINDER MARKET OVERVIEW

The liquefied petroleum gas cylinder market, valued at USD 2.77 billion in 2024, is forecasted to grow consistently, reaching USD 2.87 billion in 2025 and ultimately hitting USD 3.8 billion by 2033, at a steady CAGR of 3.5% from 2025 to 2033.

Liquefied petroleum gas, or propane, is a flammable hydrocarbon gas used as a non-toxic fuel. LPG is produced by refining natural gas or crude oil from fossil fuel extraction. The easy storage of the gas makes it a portable power and versatile source of energy for industries located in areas with no piped gas. It is preferred over several other energy fuels as it emits low carbon emissions and thus is environment-friendly. The gas is also used as a household cooking gas due to the low emission of carbon compared to other fuels. The gas is transported with cylinders and stored as a liquid under moderate pressure.

The growth of the liquefied petroleum gas market is driven by a rise in demand for LPG cylinders from various operations. Additionally, implementing strict government regulations in developed countries toward the environment is a significant factor fueling market growth. However, inconsistent domestic supply of LPG is a key factor hampering the development of the gas cylinder market. Government initiatives for the use of LPG over conventional fuels are anticipated to provide growth opportunities for industrial players to maintain their position in the market in the upcoming years.
