9 July 2020: LPG is stored and transported as liquid under pressure and in order to use, it needs to be vaporized within a tank or a cylinder. This process of vaporization is controlled using a vaporizer. Rising needs in industrial as well as commercial segments for LPG gas vaporization has fueled the LPG vaporizer market. LPG vaporizers are used in regions with unfavorable climatic conditions, natural vaporization process has reduced efficiency and hence. Also, natural vaporization requires high vaporizer rate and it cannot be used in industrial applications. These factors are responsible for the growth of the LPG vaporizer market in the forecast period.
Moreover, increasing use of LPG in commercial, residential, agriculture, and industrial sector will propel the growth of the market. However, variations in LPG exports, changes in costs of the product, and government legislation are expected to negatively impact the growth of the market in the next few years.
Advantages of Direct Fired LPG Vaporizer Fuel Segment Growth
Based on product, the market is segmented into direct-fired vaporizer, electric vaporizer, and steam/water bath vaporizer. On account of several advantages associated with the product, direct-fired LPG vaporizer segment is expected to witness the fastest growth over the next few years. Some of its advantages include easy transportation, produces high amount of heat even in smaller units, safe for unsupervised use, and low maintenance and rental cost.
Electric vaporizer is the most used product in the regional market of North America. These vaporizers make use of an external heating element and are indirectly fired, which is leading to the segment growth. The electric LPG vaporizers can operate in tightly sealed places and deliver approximately 80% efficiency. The product category also has wide range of applications and accounts for a significant share of the market.
