Analytical insights on Pressure Vessel Market covering market dynamics, competitive landscape, and strategic outlook.
The Pressure Vessel Market market is projected to reach $225.70M by 2025, growing at 5.3% CAGR. The Boilers segment holds the largest share.
The global pressure vessel market is expected to grow substantially during the forecast period owing to the increasing power generation capacity and the rapid growth of the chemical industry in the Middle East. Moreover, the developing manufacturing sector in emerging economies is expected to create an opportunity for the players operating in the global market. However, the mining industry slowdown is expected to restrain the growth of the global pressure vessel market during the forecast period.
According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2019, the global power generation capacity grew from 25,676.6 Terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2017 to 26614.8 TWh in 2018. Furthermore, as per the data from the report mentioned above, the demand for power generation from nuclear sources grew by 2.36% in 2018 compared to 2017. Additionally, in 2018, power generation using coal and hydroelectricity grew by 3.01% and 3.14%, respectively, compared to 2017. The growth in the capacity of power generation can be attributed to the increasing use of pressure vessels for power generation. The figure below depicts the rise in the global power generation capacity from 2010–2018.
Pressure vessels used in power generation plants help maintain and transport liquids, vapors, and gases at a desirable pressure as per the requirements of various components such as boilers, heat exchangers, and nuclear reactors. This leads to an increase in the installation of pressure vessels in power generation plants, such as thermal and nuclear power plants. Many countries across the world, including India, China, and the US, are focusing on growing their power generation capacity. In India, as per the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, the Indian government is focusing on increasing the coal-based power generation capacity to 330-441 GW by 2040. Additionally, in India, the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) aims to increase the capacity of nuclear power generation to nearly 60 GW by 2032. Moreover, as per the World Nuclear Industry Status Report, 2019, as of July 2019, there were 46 nuclear power plants under construction globally. Furthermore, authorities in many countries, including the US, China, and Russia, are focusing on the construction of new nuclear power plants and the upgrade of existing plants. For instance, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (Austria), the Chinese government is working on constructing nuclear power plants, which will lead to the development of two nuclear reactors, namely, Fuqing units 5 and 6 in the Fujian province of China. In the US, as per the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), the nuclear power generating capacity is expected to reach by 79.1 GW by 2050. Furthermore, according to a report published by the International Atomic Energy Agency in 2019, as per high case projections, the global nuclear power generating capacity is expected to reach to 496 GW by 2030, globally. Such developments are expected to increase the establishment of power plants with increased power generation capacity, which will consequently increase the demand for pressure vessels. Thus, the increasing power generation capacity is expected to drive the global pressure vessels market during the forecast period.
The manufacturing sector refers to the industries, which involve the manufacturing and processing of raw materials or other substances into finished products. It includes industries such as automotive, textiles, electronics, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, metals, and paper & pulp. Pressure vessels are used in various components in the manufacturing sector, such as autoclaves, separators, expansion tanks, storage vessels, and heat exchangers. The manufacturing sector in emerging economies, such as India, China, Brazil, Indonesia, and South Africa, is expected to boost significantly during the forecast period. For instance, in India, as per the Government of India, the manufacturing sector is expected to reach USD 1 trillion by 2025. Additionally, the Indian government plans to achieve a turnover of around USD 400 billion from the electronics manufacturing industry in the country by 2025. Moreover, in China, in November 2019, the Chinese government announced plans to invest USD 21 billion to boost the manufacturing industry in the country. Furthermore, in Brazil, in the automotive industry, in September 2019, Toyota Motor Corporation (Japan) announced plans to invest USD 1 billion for the production of automotive vehicles in its Sorocaba Plant in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Such investments lead to the development of the manufacturing sector in developing countries. The use of pressure vessels in the manufacturing industry is expected to increase due to the rising developments in the manufacturing industry, as pressure vessels are an integral part of the manufacturing sector. Thus, the developing manufacturing sector in emerging economies is expected to create an opportunity for players operating in the global pressure vessels market during the forecast period.
The mining industry involves the extraction of various materials, such as fossil fuels, minerals, ores, and other geological materials. Pressure vessels are used in multiple components, such as heat exchangers, storage tanks, and hyperbaric chambers, which are used during mining operations. Thus, pressure vessels play an essential role in the mining industry. However, the slowdown in the growth of the mining industry is expected to restrain the demand for pressure vessels in the global market. The mining industries across the globe are facing several issues, including political and environmental challenges, which slows down the growth of the mining industry, worldwide. For instance, in Zambia, in November 2019, the government announced that it would scrap the construction of a copper mine in the Zambezi river national park in the country. Additionally, in the UK, in September 2019, Sirius Minerals (UK) announced the cancellation of a USD 500 million mining project in North Yorkshire. Furthermore, countries such as China and India are witnessing a slowdown in the growth of the mining industry, which in turn restricts the growth of the global pressure valves market. As per the data of the Index of Industrial Production published by the Indian government in November 2019, the growth of the mining industry between January and September in 2019 decreased by 8.5% as compared to the production growth in the same period in the previous years. Such factors are expected to reduce the demand for the pressure valves in the global pressure vessels market. Therefore, the mining industry slowdown is expected to restrain the growth of the global pressure vessels market during the forecast period
Near-term growth will likely concentrate in modular bioreactor lines and closed-system media workflows that shorten validation cycles while preserving batch traceability.
Partnerships between CDMOs and instrumentation vendors should accelerate standard datasets for comparability across sites, improving forecasting models used in capacity planning.
Longer horizon, organoid and microphysiological adoption may reshape segment mix; teams that invest early in assay interoperability and cloud QC hooks are better positioned to capture upside without fragmenting their analytics stack.
