Synopsis
The global market for Gas Holders was estimated to be worth US$ 226 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 308 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Gasholders are large, closed containers used to store coal gas, biogas and other gases under normal pressure. They are usually spherical or cylindrical, made of materials such as steel or polymer membranes, and have high airtightness, large storage capacity, and strong adaptability. They are equipped with pressure control systems and monitoring equipment. Gasholders play an important role in the steel industry, biogas projects and other projects. To ensure their normal operation and safety, they need to be inspected and maintained regularly, and relevant safety standards and specifications must be strictly followed.
The global gas holder market will maintain steady growth from 2024 to 2031. The core driving force of this growth comes from the global energy transformation and industrial low-carbonization demand, especially the rapid expansion of the biogas industry. From a regional perspective, the Asia-Pacific region leads the global market with the highest growth rate of 5.70%, and the scale will reach US$148.47 million in 2031, accounting for more than 50% of the global market; while the European and American markets are growing relatively slowly (3.00% in the United States and 3.54% in Europe). Gas holders can be divided into two categories from the perspective of materials, membrane structures and steel structures. From a technical perspective, membrane structure gas holders will increase their sales market share from 97.96% in 2024 to 98.93% in 2031, becoming the absolute dominant technology, thanks to their high cost-effectiveness and adaptability to the demand for clean energy storage. Steel structure gas holders are mainly used in the steel industry.
The technological iteration and demand differentiation of the gas holder market are closely related to the development trend of downstream industries. On the one hand, the global biogas industry is accelerating its development driven by the goal of carbon neutrality, driving a surge in demand for membrane structures gas holders. As the core carrier of biomass energy, biogas is continuously expanding its application in power generation, heating, transportation fuel, etc., especially driven by local policy subsidies. The large-scale construction of biogas projects has directly driven the installation demand of membrane structures gas holders. On the other hand, as the main application field of traditional steel structure gas holders, the steel industry is shifting its production capacity structure from blast furnace/converter to electric arc furnace process under the influence of global carbon reduction policies. In 2024, steel gas holders only accounted for 1.68% of the market share, which will further shrink to 0.89% in the future. Its demand is only concentrated in new blast furnace projects and renovation of old projects in the Asia-Pacific region. This polarization shows that the gas holder market has shifted from traditional industrial supporting equipment to the field of clean energy infrastructure. The Asia-Pacific region is the world's largest gas holder consumer market, with a market size of about 50% of the world, mainly benefiting from the simultaneous expansion of biogas projects and steel production capacity in emerging economies such as China and India. Driven by China's "dual carbon" goals, the annual production of biogas is planned to reach 10 billion cubic meters in 2025 and 20 billion cubic meters in 2030, and the demand for supporting gas storage facilities is strong; at the same time, India and Southeast Asia's steel production capacity construction still retains some blast furnace technology.
In terms of competition, due to the high cost of steel structure gas holders, Chinese companies have obvious advantages. MCC Group and Sinosteel Engineering Technology together account for 36.81% of global revenue share. Technology accumulation and localization cost advantages form barriers in the Asia-Pacific market. European and American companies such as ECOMEMBRANE and Tecon are mainly engaged in biogas gas holders. In the future, with the deepening of the global carbon pricing mechanism, the standardization and intelligent upgrading of biogas storage facilities will become the focus of technological competition, and the remaining blast furnace gas holder demand in the steel industry will be highly concentrated in regional EPC service providers. Overall, the gas holder market has entered a new cycle of clean energy, and regional differentiation has intensified. Enterprises need to create differentiated competitiveness through technological adaptation and regional deep cultivation.
