Pressure vessels are used to contain liquids and gases under high pressure, making them closed containers. These vessels must adhere to domestic laws and regulations in terms of their basic parameters, with the primary requirement being the ability to withstand high internal pressures. Over time, through extensive research and stringent regulation, modern pressure vessels have become much safer compared to their predecessors.

The global pressure vessel market is being driven by increasing demand in the oil, gas, chemical, and petrochemical industries. Additionally, the growing popularity of alternative fuels will further boost the pressure vessel market. Pressure vessels used for storing fuel are typically constructed from materials like steel, titanium, aluminum, and nickel alloys. These vessels often have a cylindrical or spherical shape.

With the rising demand for alternative fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, hydrogen, natural gas, and propane, the pressure vessel market is expected to experience significant growth in the upcoming years.

Pressure Vessel Market Insights

The major driving force behind the growth of the global pressure vessel market is the increasing demand for energy worldwide. Various energy generation processes, particularly boilers, are expected to dominate the pressure vessel market, driving demand during the forecast period. The growing emphasis on green energy has also significantly boosted demand in the pressure vessel market. Due to the increasing scarcity of natural fuels, which are a finite resource, global demand for pressure vessels has surged, particularly for renewable energy sources like solar power.

The growing demand in the chemical and petrochemical industry is another key driver of the global pressure vessel market. Pressure vessels are essential for transporting and storing chemicals and petrochemicals that may react aggressively with the environment. Therefore, the expanding chemical and petrochemical sector plays a vital role in the global pressure vessel industry. Customizability is yet another crucial factor contributing to the global pressure vessel market's success.

Pressure Vessel Market Segmentation

The worldwide market for pressure vessel is split based on product, material, construction type, application, and geography.

Pressure Vessel Products

• Boilers
• Nuclear Reactors
• Separators
• Other

The pressure vessel market is segmented by products, including boilers, nuclear reactors, separators, and other related products. According to industry analysis, boilers have consistently held the largest market share in the product segment in recent years. Key factors driving this segment's growth include increasing R&D activities in the oil and gas industry and the expanding range of applications, including heating and power generation processes. The boiler segment encompasses various types, such as utility, industrial, super thermal power plant, and supercritical parameter boilers, with unit sizes up to 1,000 MW.

Nuclear reactors are expected to exhibit the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period. Additionally, another type of pressure vessel is the separator subsegment, which is used for separating well fluids produced from oil and gas wells into liquid and gaseous components.

Pressure Vessel Materials

• Steel Alloys
• Composites
• Other Alloys

In terms of the material segment, the market is categorized into steel alloys, composites, and other alloys. Within the Material segment, Steel Alloys have consistently dominated in terms of revenue share in previous years. Steel alloys offer greater strength and formability, making them a preferred choice. Steel materials provide several advantages, including affordability, high resistance to corrosion, excellent tensile strength, resistance to vibrations and shocks, recyclability, and the ability to withstand humid conditions or high temperatures. Due to these benefits, the growth of this segment is expected to continue increasing in the upcoming years.

Pressure Vessel Construction Types

• CNG Type I
• CNG Type II
• CNG Type III
• CNG Type IV

In terms of the construction segment, the market is divided into CNG Type I, CNG Type II, CNG Type III, and CNG Type IV. In recent years, the CNG Type I segment has emerged as the dominant construction type in the Pressure Vessel market. Type I constructions are easy to manufacture and produce, typically using steel materials, and they are heavyweight. The increasing adoption of Type I construction is primarily due to its affordability. For these reasons, the pressure vessel market is expected to continue growing in the near future.

Pressure Vessel Applications

• Oil & Gas
• Chemical & petrochemical
• Power Generation
• Others

In terms of the application segment, the market is segmented into oil & gas, chemical & petrochemical, power generation, and other applications. According to the Pressure Vessel market forecast, the Chemical & Petrochemical segments have dominated the market share and are expected to maintain their dominance throughout the forecasted timeframe, spanning from 2023 to 2032. This dominance is attributed to the increasing global demand for energy and power, driven by urbanization and industrialization.
