Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Pressure Vessel Composite Materials Market
Many industries, including the chemicals & materials industry, witnessed negative impacts of COVID-19 pandemic during the initial period. Supply chain disruptions caused by lockdowns and trade restrictions hampered the manufacturing outcomes of various large- and small-scale companies. The pressure vessel composite materials market also witnessed severe impacts of the pandemic in 2020. Due to shortage of raw materials and labor, there was a wide demand and supply gap. Moreover, the automobile industry witnessed significant decline in demand due to pandemic-induced recession, which hampered the sales of CNG or natural gas-powered vehicles. This factor directly affected the demand for pressure vessel composite materials. However, the initiatives by pharmaceutical companies to transport COVID-19 vaccines created new opportunities for pressure vessel composite materials market. For instance, GPI developed a 200-liter pressure vessel for the rapid delivery of COVID-19 vaccines in 2020. Such initiatives taken by manufacturers are expected to drive the pressure vessel composite material market.
In 2021, the marketplace witnessed a positive recovery, as the governments announced relaxation in previously imposed restrictions. The manufacturers were permitted to work at full capacity, leveraging their profitability. This factor is expected to further drive the pressure vessel composite materials market growth over the coming years.
Market Insights
Increasing Demand for Pressure Vessels from Various End-Use Industries
The chemicals industry is growing globally due to the increasing consumption of goods such as fertilizers and other agrochemical products, coatings & adsorbents, LED lightings, plastics, man-made fibers, and research laboratory chemicals. Also, according to the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA), the chemical industry was valued at US$ 5.7 trillion in 2019, which was equivalent to a 7% share in the global GDP. Likewise, the petrochemical industry is encountering heightened demand from various construction projects around the globe. Pressure vessels are designed to work by entering the pressure required to make an application function, like holding air in a scuba tank. It can deliver pressure either directly by valves and release gauges or indirectly via heat transfer. Potential pressure levels range from 15 psi to 150,000 psi, whereas temperatures are usually above 400°C (750°F). A pressure tank can hold anywhere from 75 liters (20 gallons) to many thousand liters. Pressure vessels are used in different industries, but three industries cover most of the market—chemicals, oil & gas, and energy industries. The growth in the number of industrial power projects and the replacement of existing pressure vessels are one of the significant factors propelling market growth.
Material Insights
Based on material, the global pressure vessel composite materials market is segmented into resin, fiber, and others. The resin segment held the largest share of the global pressure vessel composite materials market in 2021. Resin or epoxy resin is widely used to produce pressure vessels. As for the class of vessels, plastic-lined composite tanks are anticipated to see the most accelerated growth across the next five years and so is the market for epoxy resins in this category of vessel. Plastic-lined composite tanks use more numerous carbon epoxy composites and also provide maximum weight savings compared to other types of pressure vessels. Plastic-lined composite tank form is frequently penetrating, especially in mass transit buses and medium and heavy commercial vehicles. Lower fuel density and lower mass of these vessels allow for more excellent range and fuel efficiency for medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, and also longer operating times between refueling stops and reduced maintenance costs.
A few players operating in the global pressure vessel composite materials market include 3M Co, BASF SE, Huntsman Corporation, Kolon Industries Inc, Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corp, Solvay SA, ZOLTEK Corp, Steelhead Composites Inc, Hexion Inc, and Olin Corp. Market players are focusing on providing high-quality products to fulfill customer demand. They are also focusing on strategies such as investments in research and development activities and mergers & acquisitions.
