Composite Cylinders Market By Product Type (Type II, Type III & Type IV), By Outer Casing Material (High Density Polyethylene & Others), By End Use Industry (Hotels & Restaurants, Household Purpose & Others), By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2026

Global composite cylinders market stood at over $ 645 million in 2019 and is projected to exhibit a CAGR of over 7% during 2021-2026, owing to increasing demand for explosion proof, non-corrosive and lightweight LPG cylinders. Composite cylinder is a high-pressure vessel that is made of a composite-polymer material and placed in a plastic body. The technology of manufacturing a modern composite cylinder is a very complex and high-tech process, thus its cost is much higher than the cost of a metal analogue. Increasing consumption of LPG in the developing countries is expected to boost the demand for composite LPG cylinders during the forecast period. Moreover, government push towards the usage of composite cylinders is also anticipated to positively impact growth of composite cylinders market, globally.

In terms of outer casing material, global composite cylinders market has been categorized into carbon fibers, glass fibers, high density polyethylene and others. Among the outer casing materials, high density polyethylene category accounted for the largest market share in 2020 and is expected to remain the largest category in coming years as well. Growth of the high density polyethylene category can be majorly attributed to its lightweight characteristics and higher performance benefits.

Asia-Pacific dominated global composite cylinders market in 2020 and is expected to maintain its market dominance during forecast period, on account of large base of composite cylinder manufacturing industry in the region. Moreover, North America is also anticipated to hold a substantial share in global composite cylinders market, owing to high per capita consumption of goods.

Some of the major companies operating in global composite cylinders market are Luxfer Gas Cylinder, Hexagon Composites ASA, Dragerwerk, Worthington Cylinders, Faber Industries S.p.A., Sinoma, Quantum Technologies and Aburi Composites.
