These raw materials are used in various industries as commodity materials and raw materials.

Thus, their increasing demand for these raw materials is creating pressure on the raw material manufacturers, thereby increasing the prices of these raw materials. Thus, high prices of these raw materials coupled with the high capital investment in the establishment of manufacturing facilities increase the overall production cost of the high-pressure gas cylinders, thereby increasing the selling prices, which in turn reduces the profit margin.

Furthermore, the high operation and maintenance cost of these high-pressure gas cylinders is also restraining their adoption in many developing countries. Furthermore, the maintenance of high-pressure gas cylinder requires skilled labours. The lack of skilled labours in the developing countries is expected to restrain the market growth.

Thus, such factors are restraining the entry of new players and discouraging investment in the market. Thus, the aforementioned factors are restraining the market growth.

Complex and stringent regulatory process

Growing stringent regulations about the production and usage of high-pressure gas cylinder is expected to restrain the market growth. Every country is implementing stringent regulations for high-pressure gas cylinder because they store and transport life saving gases and very hazardous gases. The side effects of these hazardous gases are life threating.

Thus, such factors are driving the implementation of stringent guidelines and rules by various governments and organizations for safe and effective usage of various gases. The key players and other stakeholders operating in the market are finding it very difficult to comply with such country wide and complex regulatory requirements. Thus, such factors discourage the overall investment in the market, thereby restraining the market growth.
