Abstract

Metal cylinders are being phased out in favour of composite LPG cylinders. These cylinders are light, have a pleasing colour and shape, are rust and corrosion resistant, UV resistant, and also 100% explosion proof. The aim of this study is to understand consumer's awareness level and likeliness to shift to composite LPG cylinders. The paper studies the relative strength and weaknesses of composite LPG cylinders in comparison with traditional metal cylinders. This paper provides the opportunity to identify the consumer's needs and to bridge by suggesting technological applications, thus giving an idea to streamline the value chain of LPG cylinder distribution. This study also provides a holistic study of both B2B and B2C segments in the LPG cylinder value chain and thus provides a scope of improving the existing system. The paper will help the business leaders in composite LPG cylinder manufacturing along with cost saving opportunities to the distributors in the long run.
