Pressure vessels are containers made of composite materials, such as carbon fiber and epoxy resin, which are used to store liquid propane gas (LPG), compressed natural gas (CNG), renewable natural gas (RNG), and hydrogen gas (H2). They are lightweight and cost-effective while having a long shelf life compared to their steel-based counterparts. They offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and can be customized to meet specific design requirements. They also provide high strength and durability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. As there is a rise in the utilization of hydrogen and compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, the demand for pressure vessel composite materials is rising worldwide.
The growing awareness among the masses about environment-friendly and fuel-efficient transportation solutions around the world represents one of the key factors driving the market. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for lightweight and high-performance pressure vessels in the aerospace industry. This, along with the growing demand for boilers in various energy generation procedures, is offering a positive market outlook. Moreover, the rising utilization of pressure vessels in the oil and gas industry to conduct physical and chemical processes under high temperatures and pressure is contributing to the growth of the market. In addition, the increasing employment of pressure vessels in the chemical industry to store and transport various chemicals is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Apart from this, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce customized pressure vessels, which is positively influencing the market. Additionally, there is a rise in the adoption of supercritical power generation technologies across the globe. This, coupled with the burgeoning petrochemical industry, is bolstering the growth of the market.
