According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the global LPG cylinder market looks good with opportunities in household, automobile, leisure, and other outdoor applications. The global LPG cylinder market is expected to reach an estimated $2.1 billion, and it is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% from 2018 to 2023. The major growth drivers for this market are increasing use of liquifed petroleum gas as a fuel source and lack of infrastructure for the transportation of piped natural gas (PNG).
In this market, metal and composite LPG cylinders are used to carry and transport liquified petroleum gas. On the basis of comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that metal LPG cylinder will remain the largest segment. Lower cost as compared to composite cylinders and low penetration of gas pipeline network in developing countries are likely to drive the demand for this segment over the forecast period. The composite cylinder segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period supported by lightweight, and its non-corrosive properties.
LPG cylinders are used in carrying gas for household will remain the largest segment and it is also expected to witness highest growth during the forecast period. Increasing use of liquified petroleum gas as a fuel for cooking and unavailablity of gas pipeline network are driving growth of this segment over the forecast period.

APAC is expected to remain the largest market and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to LPG being the major source of cooking fuel in most of the countries and the lack of infrastructure for piped natural gas in this region.
Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the market, include increasing adoption of composite LPG cylinders and widening the size range of composite LPG cylinders to meet the needs of different consumers. Worthington Industries, Maurya Udyog Limited, Hexagon Composites, Sahamitr Pressure Container, and Time Technoplast are among the major suppliers of LPG cylinders.
