A gas cylinder is a pressure vessel for storage and containment of gases at above atmospheric pressure. High-pressure gas cylinders are also called bottles. Inside the cylinder the stored contents may be in a state of compressed gas, vapor over liquid, supercritical fluid, or dissolved in a substrate material, depending on the physical characteristics of the contents. A typical gas cylinder design is elongated, standing upright on a flattened bottom end, with the valve and fitting at the top for connecting to the receiving apparatus.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a blend of light hydrocarbon compounds. It mainly consists of butane (C4H10) or propane (C3H8) or a mixture of both. At room temperature, both gases are colourless and odourless. Propane has its boiling point at -42°C and butane at -0.5 °C. Under modest pressure or in cooler conditions, LPG transforms into a liquid state. LPG in domestic cylinders used for cooking generally comprises more butane than propane, because the fuel value per kilogram of butane is higher than propane and it liquefies under much lower pressure than propane and thus the handling is safer. National and international standards specify the minimum content of butane and a maximum LPG vapor pressure. When liquefied under pressure, the volume of butane and propane is reduced to around 1/260 of the gaseous aggregate state. The specific calorific value of LPG is around 46 MJ/kg or 12.78 kWh/kg depending on the composition of LPG. In comparison, wood has an energy content in the range of 14-18 MJ/kg or 3.89 – 5 kWh/kg (depending of the type of wood and the moisture content) and charcoal in the range of 27 – 33 MJ/kg or 7.5 – 8.34 kWh/kg (depending on the type of charcoal). If made available as a cooking energy fuel it could help to reduce the use of wood and biomass in households in developing countries.

Market Outlook
The Asia-Pacific LPG Cylinder Market can be segmented based on the cylinder type, size, country and application. In terms of cylinder type, the market can be bifurcated into composite and metal. The demand for composite LPG cylinder is anticipated to increase in the coming years as these cylinders are 100% recyclable and explosion resistant in comparison to conventional metal cylinders. Based on application, the market can be segregated into residential/consumer-use, power & utilities and transport/auto-fuel. Residential or consumer use is currently the dominant segment in the market and the trend is likely to continue over the next five years as well. This is due to the subsidy offered by the government on LPG cylinders.

The global LPG cylinder manufacturing market is expected to reach US$ 4.7 Bn by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2018 to 2026. Asia Pacific held the highest share in the LPG cylinder manufacturing market in 2017.
LPG Gas Cylinder Market: Growth Dynamics
The LPG industry is undergoing several transformational changes. The manufacturers of the LPG gas cylinder market may have to make changes in the near future to fit with the emerging trends. For instance, bio LPG may be a common thing in the next 2-3 years. Operation expansions are also experiencing a positive trend and may continue throughout the forecast period. For instance, Omera Cylinder Ltd, an LPG gas cylinder manufacturer in Bangladesh became the first local LPG gas cylinder maker to export its products to international markets. Such developments may serve as growth multipliers for the LPG gas cylinder market.
A 5kg composite cylinder will cost Rs. 2,000-3,000. Re-fill costs will be in line with those of a 5kg steel cylinder.

Based on the application type, the global composite LPG cylinders market is segmented as kitchen & domestic use, transportation, recreational use, and others. Kitchen & domestic use is expected to remain the largest and fastest-growing application type in the global composite LPG cylinders market during the forecast period. There is an increasing replacement of type I cylinders with type IV cylinders, owing to their advantages of lightweight and an excellent burst pressure. Additionally, piped natural gas in households is being replaced with composite LPG cylinders, owing to its limited reserves and high cost.
