低溫幫浦市場至2030年的預測:按類型、氣體、方向、設計、最終用戶和地區的全球分析Cryogenic Pump Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Type (Centrifugal and Positive Displacement), Gas (Oxygen, Argon, Nitrogen and Other Gases), Orientation, Design, End User and By Geography |
根據 Stratistics MRC 的資料,2023年全球低溫泵市場規模為 12.8 億美元,預計到2030年將達到20 億美元,預測期內年複合成長率為 6.6%。
低溫泵是用於傳輸和操縱低溫流體(通常在低溫狀態下)的專用設備,其溫度遠低於傳統冷凍方法可達到的溫度。這些泵浦設計用於處理極低溫度下存在的液化氣體,例如氮氣、氧氣和氦氣。低溫幫浦採用離心式和位移式等多種機制來吸入和排放這些超低溫流體,並用於工業氣體處理、醫學影像處理、超導性和低溫物理,這確保了高效可靠的傳輸。
根據《2022年世界液化天然氣報告》,全球液化天然氣(LNG)貿易量創下歷史新高,平均每天517億立方英尺(Bcf/d),較2021年成長5%。
石化產品需求增加
液化天然氣(LNG)生產、乙烯和丙烯精製以及氮氣液化等石化過程嚴重依賴低溫泵在低溫下處理、運輸和加工液化氣體。此外,由於人口成長、都市化和工業化,世界對石化產品的需求不斷增加,增加了對高效、可靠的低溫泵解決方案的需求。因此,石化產品需求的增加成為拉動市場需求的關鍵因素。
原物料價格波動
低溫幫浦需要不銹鋼、鎳合金和高性能聚合物等特殊材料來承受低溫流體的極端溫度和腐蝕性。然而,溫室氣體排放法規導致的鋼鐵價格波動減少鋼鐵產量,導致鋼鐵價格上漲,阻礙低溫泵的生產,最終影響低溫泵的成長。
技術進步
技術進步是低溫泵市場成長的主要促進因素,不斷提高低溫泵系統的性能、效率和可靠性。材料科學的進步開發具有增強性能(例如耐腐蝕性、導熱性和機械強度)的新型合金和複合材料。此外,最佳化的葉輪幾何形狀、增強的密封機制和先進的軸承技術等泵浦設計創新有助於提高效率和性能等級。
安全問題
由於低溫泵通常在低於攝氏 -150 度的溫度下處理低溫流體,因此處理、儲存和運輸低溫液體(例如液態氮、氧氣和液化天然氣)存在固有風險。然而,與低溫液體相關的潛在危險包括低溫燒燙傷。這是因為當接觸皮膚或其他材料時,暴露在如此極低的溫度下可能會導致嚴重的組織損傷。
COVID-19 的影響
COVID-19 大流行對低溫幫浦市場產生了顯著影響。最初,疫情擾亂了全球供應鏈,導致低溫幫浦零件和系統的製造和交付延遲。但這次疫情也凸顯了低溫技術在醫療保健領域的關鍵作用,特別是在 COVID-19 疫苗的儲存和分發方面,其中許多疫苗需要超低溫進行儲存。對醫療保健應用的日益關注可能會在一定程度上抵消其他行業所經歷的市場低迷。
預計在預測期內離心區隔將是最大的
預計離心領域將佔最大佔有率。離心式幫浦在低溫下有效傳輸和處理液化氣體方面發揮重要作用。離心式幫浦的工作原理是將馬達的機械能轉換為動能,引導流體通過泵的葉輪進入蝸殼。此外,離心式幫浦特別適合低溫應用,因為它們能夠處理低黏度流體並在高流速下平穩運行。
能源和電力領域預計在預測期內年複合成長率最高
預計能源和電力領域在預測期內將出現良好成長。低溫泵廣泛用於冷卻和處理發電設施的液態氧(LOX)和液態氫(LH2),特別是火箭推進系統、燃料電池和燃氣渦輪機發電廠。此外,低溫泵也用於鋼鐵製造和化學加工等能源密集型,以處理氮氣和氬氣等液化氣體,這對於低溫冷卻和清洗等各種工業製程非常重要。
在估計期間,亞太地區佔據最大的市場佔有率。對液化天然氣(LNG)作為清潔能源來源的需求不斷成長,導致LNG接收站和整個設施安裝低溫泵的數量增加。此外,該地區不斷發展的半導體和電子工業利用低溫泵來生產先進的半導體裝置和超導性材料,促進了市場的成長。
由於液化天然氣(LNG)基礎設施的需求激增,預計北美在預測期內將實現盈利成長。北美在半導體製造、航太和研究等行業擁有強大的影響力,並且推動從超導性材料生產到太空探勘等廣泛應用的低溫泵需求。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Cryogenic Pump Market is accounted for $1.28 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $2.0 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period. A cryogenic pump is a specialized device used to transfer and manipulate extremely cold fluids, typically in the realm of cryogenics, where temperatures drop well below those achievable with conventional refrigeration methods. These pumps are designed to handle liquefied gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, or helium, which exist at extremely low temperatures. Cryogenic pumps employ various mechanisms, including centrifugal or displacement methods, to draw in and expel these ultra-cold fluids, ensuring efficient and reliable transfer processes for applications like industrial gas processing, medical imaging, and scientific research involving superconductors and low-temperature physics.
According to the World LNG Report 2022, global trade in liquefied natural gas (LNG) set a record high, averaging 51.7 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), a 5% increase compared with 2021.
Rising demand for petrochemical
Petrochemical processes such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) production, ethylene and propylene refining, and nitrogen liquefaction rely heavily on cryogenic pumps for the handling, transfer, and processing of liquefied gases at extremely low temperatures. Furthermore, with increasing global demand for petrochemical products driven by population growth, urbanization, and industrialization, the need for efficient and reliable cryogenic pumping solutions is on the rise. As a result, rising demand for petrochemicals is a significant factor driving market demand.
Fluctuations in raw material prices
Cryogenic pumps require specialized materials such as stainless steel, nickel alloys, and high-performance polymers to withstand the extreme temperatures and corrosive properties of cryogenic fluids. However, the fluctuations in steel prices owing to the regulations for greenhouse gas emissions have reduced steel production, leading to inflation in steel prices, which is hampering the production of cryogenic pumps and, in turn, affecting the growth of the cryogenic pump.
Technological advancements
Technological advancements serve as a key driver in the growth of the cryogenic pump market, continually enhancing the performance, efficiency, and reliability of cryogenic pump systems. Advancements in materials science have led to the development of new alloys and composites with enhanced properties, such as improved resistance to corrosion, thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength. Furthermore, innovations in pump design, such as optimized impeller geometries, enhanced sealing mechanisms, and advanced bearing technologies, contribute to higher efficiency and performance levels.
Safety Concerns
Cryogenic pumps handle extremely low-temperature fluids, often at or below -150 degrees Celsius, presenting inherent risks related to the handling, storage, and transportation of cryogenic liquids such as liquid nitrogen, oxygen, and LNG. However, the potential hazards associated with cryogenic fluids include cryogenic burns, as exposure to these ultra-low temperatures can cause severe tissue damage upon contact with skin or other materials.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a notable impact on the cryogenic pump market. Initially, the pandemic led to disruptions in global supply chains, causing delays in the manufacturing and delivery of cryogenic pump components and systems. However, the pandemic also highlighted the critical role of cryogenic technology in healthcare, particularly in the storage and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, many of which require ultra-low temperatures for preservation. This increased focus on healthcare applications may offset some of the market downturn experienced in other sectors.
The centrifugal segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The centrifugal segment is estimated to hold the largest share. Centrifugal pumps play a crucial role in the efficient transfer and handling of liquefied gases at extremely low temperatures. Centrifugal pumps operate by converting mechanical energy from a motor into kinetic energy, which then drives the fluid through the pump's impeller and into a volute casing. Moreover, centrifugal pumps are particularly well-suited for cryogenic applications due to their ability to handle low-viscosity fluids and operate smoothly at high flow rates.
The energy & power segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The energy & power segment is anticipated to have lucrative growth during the forecast period. Cryogenic pumps find extensive use in power generation facilities, particularly in the cooling and handling of liquid oxygen (LOX) and liquid hydrogen (LH2) for rocket propulsion systems, fuel cells, and gas turbine power plants. Moreover, cryogenic pumps are utilized in energy-intensive industries such as steelmaking and chemical processing for the handling of liquefied gases like nitrogen and argon, which are essential for various industrial processes including cryogenic cooling and purging.
Asia Pacific commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period. The increasing demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a cleaner energy source has led to a rise in cryogenic pump installations across LNG terminals and facilities. Furthermore, the region's growing semiconductor and electronics industries rely on cryogenic pumps for the production of advanced semiconductor devices and superconducting materials, contributing to the market's growth.
North America is expected to witness profitable growth over the projection period due to the burgeoning demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure, North America's strong presence in industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, and research also drives the demand for cryogenic pumps for applications ranging from superconducting material production to space exploration.
