Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

Sizing starts from unit shipment volumes of cryogenic pumps across the three configuration types, submerged, can-type and in-line, multiplied by realised average selling prices that vary by flow capacity, materials of construction and cryogen service. Shipment volumes are built from LNG terminal and industrial gas plant project counts, since each new terminal or plant specifies a known number of transfer and loading pump units. That bottom-up total is then checked against the disclosed pump and cryogenic-equipment segment revenue reported by the largest named suppliers; where the two diverge, the unit volume or price assumption feeding the bottom-up build is revisited and corrected rather than blending in the disclosed figure as a second estimate.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Primary interviews target procurement and engineering leads at LNG terminal operators and industrial gas producers who specify pump technical requirements, commercial and product managers at pump manufacturers who set list pricing and discount structures, distribution and channel partners who serve smaller industrial accounts, and marine classification and pressure-equipment regulators who confirm certification timelines. Sampling weights toward Asia Pacific and North America, where terminal construction and industrial gas capacity additions are concentrated, with additional coverage in Europe for established pump manufacturing and in the Middle East for LNG export project planning. Responses are cross-checked against each region's own project pipeline data before being folded into the sizing build.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on national customs and trade data filed under the HS code covering pumps for liquids, LNG terminal capacity registers maintained by international gas trade bodies, marine classification society filings for LNG-fuelled vessel orders, and the annual reports and investor filings of the named pump manufacturers and their parent groups. Pressure-equipment and cryogenic-vessel certification registers, including boiler and pressure vessel code stamp holder listings, are used to identify active suppliers and confirm which companies hold the certifications required to bid on large terminal contracts. Industrial gas association capacity and production statistics supplement the demand-side estimate.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from announced LNG terminal and marine bunkering infrastructure project pipelines, industrial gas capacity expansion plans, and the pace at which liquefaction and regasification projects reach final investment decision, since each approved project converts to a known pump order within a defined construction window. Price assumptions hold real average selling prices broadly flat, with unit volume doing most of the forecast work. The 2020-2021 demand dip tied to delayed industrial capital spending is treated as a temporary disruption rather than a new baseline, so growth resumes toward the pre-disruption trajectory once terminal and plant construction activity normalises. The forecast would not hold if LNG project financing activity stalls broadly.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Outputs are back-tested against recorded 2020-2024 shipment and revenue growth for the named suppliers to confirm the bottom-up build reproduces historical trends before it is extended forward. Segment share shifts, particularly the move toward marine bunkering and LNG-fuelled applications, are reviewed against terminal and vessel order data rather than assumed. Sensitivities are run on the pace of LNG final investment decisions and on average selling price, since these two inputs move the forecast most. A downside case where announced terminal projects slip by one to two years and an upside case where hydrogen liquefaction demand arrives faster than currently planned are both tested against the base build to bound the range.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is strongest for the LNG and industrial gas end-use segments, where terminal and plant project pipelines are publicly tracked and pump order timing follows a predictable construction sequence. It is weaker for the marine bunkering and hydrogen liquefaction lines, where adoption depends on vessel newbuild decisions and hydrogen project financing that are still early and less consistently reported. Regional splits for the Middle East and Latin America rest on fewer disclosed project details than North America, Europe or Asia Pacific. A structural risk to the forecast is a broad slowdown in LNG project financing, which would delay the pump orders the estimate assumes arrive on the announced schedule.
