The vapor recovery units market is estimated to be valued at USD 520.5 Mn in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.0% from 2025 to 2032. Vapor recovery units are equipment used at refueling stations and storage tanks to capture and recycle hydrocarbon vapors that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere during tank loading and unloading. They help reduce environmental pollution by lowering volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Vapor recovery units capture both displaced vapors during loading and vapors emitted during unloading of gasoline from cargo tanks, tank trucks, marine vessels, and other delivery vessels. By containing these vapors and returning them to the storage tank or ship compartment, vapor recovery units significantly curb harmful hydrocarbons from entering the air.
Market Dynamics:
The global vapor recovery units market is driven by stringent government regulations to curb VOC emissions from refueling stations and storage tanks. Major environmental protection agencies have framed laws mandating the use of vapor recovery units especially at gasoline dispensing facilities. Rising environmental consciousness is also fueling the adoption of vapor recovery units. However, high installation and maintenance costs of these systems pose a restraint. The development of more cost-effective solutions presents an opportunity for market participants. Additionally, expanding operations in the oil & gas and petrochemical industries will provide new application areas.
