The pressure vessels market is a crucial industry for manufacturing and selling closed containers for holding gases or liquids at a significantly different pressure than ambient. These vessels are essential in industries like oil and gas, chemicals, power generation, and water and wastewater treatment, serving as components in crude oil refineries, natural gas processing plants, transportation plants, and nuclear power plants. The pressure vessels market is fueled by the growth of oil and gas industries, which require pressure vessels for applications in oil & gas, chemicals, and power generation. Rising energy demands, strict safety regulations, and investments in coal-fired and nuclear power generation facilities are driving the demand for pressure vessels, thereby driving market growth. The increasing industrialization and manufacturing activities in industries like oil and gas, chemical and petrochemicals, and power generation have led to a rise in demand for pressure vessels and essential equipment used in the storage, transport, and processing of substances under high pressure. Countries are investing in manufacturing facilities and promoting domestic production through initiatives like Make in India. Technological advancements have also increased pressure and temperature resistance, causing a surge in pressure vessel demand. However, government regulations are limiting global pressure vessel market growth, ensuring safety standards in industries like oil, gas, chemicals, and power generation.
The steel segment accounted for the highest share of 34.9% in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on the material type, the pressure vessels market is classified titanium, nickel & nickel alloys, tantalum, steel, and others. Among these, the steel segment accounted for the highest share of 34.9% in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Steel is a versatile material with exceptional strength and resistance to corrosion. Its plasticity allows for complex shapes, allowing designers to optimize vessel designs. With a long history of safe usage, steel reduces design risks and validation costs. Its economies of scale make it the preferred choice for applications without stringent weight or temperature constraints.
The boilers segment accounted for 39.2% of the market share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on the product type, the pressure vessel market is divided into boilers, nuclear reactors, separators, and others. Among these, the boilers segment accounted for the highest share of 39.2% in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Boilers are versatile, high-pressure steam generators suitable for power generation, industrial heating, and sterilizer applications. Burning fossil fuels, they can be easily modulated to match thermal loads and are used in utilities, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and district heating networks.
The chemicals & petrochemicals segment accounted greatest share of 31.8% in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on the end-user, the pressure vessels market is divided into chemicals & petrochemicals, oil & gas, power generation, and others. Among these, the chemicals & petrochemicals segment accounted for the highest share of 31.8% in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Pressure vessels are crucial in chemical manufacturing processes, handling corrosive or volatile substances safely at elevated temperatures and pressures. Their containment capabilities ensure product purity and yield, while pressure accelerates reactions, boosting process efficiency. Even small improvements create economic incentives for manufacturers due to the massive scale of global chemical production, making pressure vessels essential in all facilities.
North America is estimated to hold the largest share of the pressure vessels market over the forecast period.
North America is estimated to hold the largest share of the pressure vessels market over the forecast period.
