Global Cryocooler Market Share by Application

The Healthcare Segment is Considered the Dominating Segment in The Global Cryocooler Market. 

Among applications, the healthcare segment is estimated as dominating segment during the forecast period. The growing need for cryocoolers in the healthcare sector can be attributable to their widespread use in proton therapy, MRI systems, cryosurgery, and oxygen liquefaction in hospitals. Proton therapy is a type of particle therapy that uses precision to aim proton beams towards cancer cells. Many of the high-powered magnets used in proton treatment are superconducting magnets that require cryocoolers to cool to liquid helium temperatures. Cancer is one of the deadly diseases claiming lives across the world. For instance, as per the National Cancer Institute, in 2018, an estimated 1,735,350 new cancer cases were diagnosed in the United States and 609,640 people died from the disease. This life-saving technology is being invested in or considered by several cancer treatment facilities and hospitals. This, in turn, is expected to impact the market demand over the forecast period.

Regional Outlook 

Geographically, the global Cryocooler market is classified into four major regions including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and Rest of the World (Latin America and the Middle East and Africa (MEA)). Asia-Pacific is projected to have a significant CAGR in the Cryocooler market. The growth is driven by the growing application of cryocoolers such the GM, PT, JT, Stirling, and Brayton for producing extremely low temperatures in a variety of applications in industries like medical, space, commercial, environmental, transportation, and energy. Further, the rising focus of developing countries including China and India on space missions is expected to boost the demand for cryocoolers from the space vertical.

North America to Hold a Considerable CAGR in the Global Cryocooler Market

Geographically, North America is projected to hold a significant share global cryocooler market. Cryocoolers are also employed in the military for satellite surveillance and missile guidance. The USS Gerald R Ford, a US Navy aircraft carrier, has been fitted with cryocooler technology. According to the United States Department of Energy, advances in cavity technology, materials, and cryocooler development may lower the barrier to industrial and medical applications of superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology. After cooling and successfully testing an SRF cavity in one of the VTA's vertical cryostats without using liquid helium, a team from the SRF Institute's R&D Department at Jefferson Lab cooled and successfully tested an SRF cavity in one of the VTA's vertical cryostats without using liquid helium in March 2020.

Market Players Outlook

The key players in the Cryocooler market contribute significantly by providing different types of products and increasing their geographical presence across the globe. The key players of the market include Sumitomo Heavy Industries Limited, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Superconductor Technologies Inc, Sunpower Inc. among others. These market players adopt various strategies such as product launches, partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions to sustain a strong position in the market. In January 2021, NASA recently developed a 20-Watt 20 Kelvin cryocooler that is a critical step in enabling zero boil-off of liquid hydrogen. Active thermal control of cryogenic propellants is made possible by integrating a cryocooler to intercept and collect heat from the cryogenic tank support structure and/or a broad area cooled shield.
