Top 4 Companies in the Global Cryocooler Market in 2025

The global cryocooler market reached a value of about USD 3.30 Billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.20% in the forecast period of 2025-2034 to reach around USD 6.61 Billion by 2034. As per the analysis of Expert Market Research, the market is expected to be driven by the growing healthcare applications of cryocoolers.

As cryocoolers are essential for the liquefaction of oxygen, their growing demand in various sectors like space, healthcare, military, and defence, space, among others, is driving the market growth. The increasing investments in liquified natural gas (LNG) infrastructure and the growing demand for industrial gases are also propelling the market growth of cryocooler.

The robust growth of the military and defence sector owing to the surging government investments is likely to drive the utilisation of cryocoolers in satellites and missile guidance systems, among others. Cryocoolers are also extensively used for the cooling of infrared sensors in military night vision equipment as well as high-speed and high-precision infrared cameras.

In December 2020, Thales signed a contract with Airbus Defence and Space to deliver two cryocoolers for the Thermal infraRed Imaging Satellite for High-resolution Natural resource Assessment (TRISHNA) satellite. The company’s cryocoolers were to be used for the cooling of an infrared detector in the satellite’s instrument to optimise its performance. As the company’s cryocoolers can target various applications, it is a cost-effective solution. Through the innovative product, Thales aimed to meet the surging demand for high-performance and economic cryocoolers for space applications.
