Air Products →Prices riseCryogenic cold boxes and heat exchangers
Golar's fourth FLNG unit adds liquefaction capacity and should lift demand for cryogenic cold boxes and heat exchangers; Air Products' 15% market share, low substitutability, and 24-month replacement lead time make this market relatively tight.
66% confidenceChart Industries, Inc. →Stands to benefitCryogenic cold boxes and heat exchangers
A fourth FLNG unit implies additional LNG liquefaction buildout, which should increase demand for cryogenic cold boxes and heat exchangers; Chart has a meaningful 35% share and an 18-month replacement lead time on this input.
