Growing Demand in the Oil and Gas Industry Drives the Growth of the Market
The global oil & gas industry is among the biggest consumers of cold insulation materials, mainly due to the burgeoning use of cryogenic insulation equipment in a majority of industrial applications.
Oil & gas end users are bolstering the use of efficient cold insulation materials in cryogenic operations in which very low temperatures need to be maintained while mitigating the loss of energy. This is one of the most prominent factors that are likely to influence the growth dynamics of the global cold insulation market.
The growing use of various cryogenic gases including Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), is further triggering the demand for cold insulation materials with a low carbon footprint, and this will further improve the sales potential in the global market.
High Initial Investment Costs and High Cost of Raw Material May Hinder the Growth of the Cold Insulation Market.
A majority of stakeholders in the cold insulation market are investing heavily in developing countries, in order to capitalize on the cheap labor and to gain better access to raw materials. However, the business is characterized by significantly high investment costs and high prices of raw materials, which triggers the initial investments to reach the skies.
The lack of quality control, attributed to poor quality standards in developing countries, hampers the growth potential in the cold insulation market, especially in developing countries.
The increasing environmental awareness in developed regions boosts the growth potential for stakeholders in the cold insulation market. However, introducing cold insulation materials with minimal environmental impact is a costly practice, which restricts the growth of smaller businesses in the evolving market for cold insulation.
Increasing Demand in Oil & Gas Industries in The Region to Drive the Cold Insulation Market in North America
