Pressure Vessels Market by Type (Boilers, Reactors, Separators), Material, Heat Source (Fired Pressure Vessel and Unfired Pressure Vessel), Application (Storage Vessels and Processing Vessels), End-User Industry and Region - Global Forecast to 2028
The global pressure vessels market is estimated to grow from USD 50.3 Billion in 2023 to USD 62.7 Billion by 2028; it is expected to record a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period. The rise in the chemical production world wide is driving the growth for the market.
“Storage Vessels: The second largest segment of the pressure vessels market, by application“
Based on application, the pressure vessels market has been split into two types: processing vessels, and storage vessels. There is a high demand for storage vessels across various industries as there is a need for storing liquids and gases at the required temperature. Infrastructure projects, such as oil and gas pipelines, refineries, chemical plants, and power plants, often require storage vessels for various purposes. The growth of such infrastructure projects, particularly in emerging economies, can lead to an increased need for storage vessels.
“Others segment is expected to emerge as the fastest segment based on type”
By type, the pressure vessels market has been segmented into boilers, seperators, reactors, and others. Others include flash drums and heat exchangers. The demand for flash drums and heat exchangers is closely tied to the overall demand for processes involving separation, heat transfer, and phase change. Industries that require efficient separation of liquid and vapor phases or efficient heat exchange, such as in distillation, fractionation, or vaporization processes, drive the demand for flash drums and heat exchangers. This segment is expected to showcase moderate growth during the forecast period due to the high demand for heat exchangers from the chemical industry. These vessels are used for a wide range of applications across different industries.
North America is expected to be the second fastest-growing region in the pressure vessels market
Middle East and Africa is expected to be the second fastest pressure vessels market during the forecast period. The increase in horizontal drilling, especially for unconventional reserves such as tight oil and shale gas, is primarily driving the demand for pressure vessels in North America. Furthermore, the large-scale developments of brownfields in the region are contributing to the growth of the regional pressure vessel market.
