As per the data revealed by BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2020, North America is the largest producer of natural gas. Hence, the region is expected to hold the significant share of the cryogenic control valve market in coming years. Further, Europe comprises major natural gas producing countries such as Russia, Norway, and the UK. Therefore, the region is expected to hold a notable amount of market share during the forecast period. Russia is the world’s second largest natural gas producing country. As per the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2020, the country produced 679 billion cubic meters natural gas in 2019. APAC comprises world’s fastest growing countries such as India and China. The region is becoming one of the major consumers of natural gas products. It is also witnessing rapid industrialization and urbanization, which is causing rise in the consumption of natural gas for various utilities. Hence, the APAC cryogenic control valve market is expected to grow at the significant rate in coming years. Further, the cryogenic control valve market in MEA and SAM is expected to grow with the decent rate as both regions are exploring natural gas products, which will increase the application of cryogenic control valve in future.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively influenced the overall oil & gas industry owing to considerable disruption in the supply chain activities coupled with the several countries sealing off their international trade in the wake of the pandemic. Furthermore, the global oil & gas prices plummeted significantly owing to limited demand and continuous production by the oil producing countries caused considerable decline in production activities among the major oil producing countries. Consequently, the discontinuation of oil & gas activities disrupted the demand for related products and services, such as cryogenic valves.
