Cryocooler Market Trends

• 
  

  Increasing adoption of cryocoolers in cooling down power systems, superconducting magnets, and the semiconductor industry is driving the market growth

  
  

Cryocoolers are being more widely used in the healthcare industry for a variety of applications, including proton treatment, NMR equipment, and MRI, thanks to continued R&D and technological advancements. This is anticipated to fuel market expansion. According to a new study by Brigham and Women's Hospital, the number of cancer cases among those under 50 has dramatically increased. Proton treatment utilization is increasing as a result of the rising incidence of cancer among people worldwide. In turn, this increases demand for cryocoolers.

Industrial machinery and equipment prices increased right away as a result of manufacturing supply chain disruptions and limitations. In 2021, the cryocoolers market began to rebound. The Russia-Ukraine war, however, caused market swings at the beginning of 2022. Nevertheless, during the course of the projected period, the market is anticipated to experience significant expansion.

In the United States, high-temperature superconducting magnets used in cell phone stations are now cooled using cryocoolers for commercial purposes. These superconducting receivers create incredibly small band-reject filters or bandpass filters with exceptionally steep skirt slopes using High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) filters. In combination with cryogenically cooled low-noise amplifiers, these receivers increase call quality, allow the base station to handle more calls, and let it to hear a phone from a further distance. This technology is offered by four American businesses: Conductus, Illinois Superconductor, Superconducting Technologies, and Spectral Solutions Inc. Thus, driving the Cryocooler market revenue.

Cryocooler Market Segment Insights

Cryocooler Type Insights

The Cryocooler Market segmentation, based on Type includes Gifford-Mcmahon, Pulse-Tube, Stirling, Brayton, and Joule-Thomson. In terms of revenue, the Gifford McMahon segment had the greatest revenue share in 2022 and is anticipated to rule the market over the projected period. This can be due to the cryocooler's low price and special qualities. Low-performing nitrogen liquefiers, cryo vacuum gear, helium recondensation facilities, and cryogenic systems for various scientific research have all contributed to the rise in popularity of Gifford McMahon cryocoolers in recent years. These are some of the main uses for cryocoolers.

Cryocooler Heat Exchanger Type Insights

The Cryocooler Market segmentation, based on Heat Exchanger Type, includes regenerative heat exchanger and recuperative heat exchanger. In terms of revenue, the regenerative heat exchanger segment dominated the market in 2022, and it is anticipated that it will continue to hold that position throughout the forecast period. Applications that require high temperatures have increased recently. The increased demand for waste heat recovery has led to the widespread use of regenerative heat exchangers. For efficient heat transmission, a device known as a regenerative heat exchanger allows fluids to flow over the heat-storage material in varied ways. This has increased the market's demand for cryocoolers.

Cryocooler Application Insights

The Cryocooler Market segmentation, based on Application, includes military & defense, healthcare, power & energy, aerospace, research & development, transport, mining & metal, and others. The military & defense sector had the biggest market share in 2022, and it is anticipated that it will continue to hold that position during the forecast period. This is explained by the significant cryocooler usage in defense applications such night vision technology, ground-mounted military equipment, and aerial military equipment. The military industry's massive need is anticipated to propel the cryocooler market's expansion.

Over the forecast period, the healthcare segment is anticipated to experience the quickest CAGR. The increase in cancer cases and the global surge in health consciousness following COVID-19 are to blame for this growth. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 606,520 cancer-related deaths and 1.8 million new cancer diagnoses in the United States in 2020. In the United States, cancer is the second leading cause of death. Proton therapy is increasingly in demand due to the rise in cancer cases, which also fuels the market for cryocoolers.
