What Key Factors are influencing the Market Expansion?

Industrial growth and increasing safety regulations are the two key market drivers. Firstly, industrial growth plays a significant role in driving the demand for pressure vessels. As various industries expand and develop, the need for efficient storage and transportation of liquids and gases also increase. Pressure vessels are crucial components in sectors like oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and pharmaceuticals, where they are used for storing and transporting substances under high pressure or temperature conditions.

According to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), global manufacturing output has been steadily increasing. In 2022, global manufacturing value added reached US$ 16.38 Trillion, representing steady growth rate of 15.38% compared to the previous year. This indicates the growing global industrialization, which will further lead to the increased pressure vessels demand.

Along with these regulations and quality standards imposed by government, regulatory bodies play a crucial role in driving the market. Government regulations establish a framework that manufacturers must comply with to meet specific safety requirements. For instance, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boilers and Pressure Vessel Code sets comprehensive standards for the design, construction, and inspection of pressure vessels in the United States. Manufacturers must adhere to these codes to obtain the necessary certifications and permits for their products.

Similar regulatory framework exists in other regions and countries, such as the pressure equipment directive (PED) in European Union and the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) in Canada. Compliance with these regulations ensures that the pressure vessels meet minimum safety requirements and are suitable for their intended applications. Moreover, regulatory bodies conduct inspections and audits to verify compliance with regulations and standards.

These oversight mechanisms create a level playing field for manufacturers, ensuring that they meet the same standards and maintain a certain level of product quality. Consequently, this promotes healthy competition and drives manufacturers to continuously improve their processes and product offerings. Thus, by driving manufacturers to meet these requirements, regulatory framework, and quality standards contribute to the overall growth and sustainability of the pressure vessels manufacturing market.

Which Region is projected to offer Significant Demand for Pressure Vessels?

North America had a market size of US$ 3.2 Billion in 2022 and is projected to have a market worth US$ 5.1 Billion by 2033.

The expanding industrial sector, increasing energy demand, and stringent safety regulations, especially in the U.S. have contributed to the growth in pressure vessels demand. The region’s industrial sectors, particularly oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation rely on pressure vessels for their generation.

Additionally, North America accounts for 109 nuclear reactors out of 411 reactors present globally. This makes North America a dominant market for pressure vessels and due to its growing investments in nuclear projects and crude oil refineries, it will continue to remain the leading market for pressure vessels by 2033.
