" Adsorption is projected to be the second fastest-growing segment by thickness in the vapor recovery units market"
The adsorption section of the vapor recovery units (VRUs) market would be the second fastest growing because of its effectiveness at capturing hydrocarbon vapors in addition to volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These ad-based VRUs find main applications in petrochemicals, chemicals, and in the oil and gas sector for vapor recovery as well as control of emissions. There are suitable applications for industrial settings that have lengthy lifespans because VRUs are resilient, require very low maintenance, and are viable with changing vapors' compositions. In addition, the demand for such technologies is being driven by tighter emissions standards as well as a growing emphasis on green operations.
"Storage is projected to be the second largest segment by application in vapor recovery units market"
The storage segment is to be the second-largest market application of VRUs due to its major role in minimizing the emissions from the storage tanks of terminals, refineries, and industrial facilities. Storage VRUs recover valuable hydrocarbons with strict environmental regulation compliance. With industries placing greater emphasis on minimising VOC emissions and enhancing efficiency of operations, the need for vapor recovery solutions in storage facilities is rising. Moreover, growth in oil & gas storage infrastructure and increasing sustainability initiatives are likely to drive growth in this segment further.
"Chemicals & Petrochemicals is the second largest segment by end-use industry in vapor recovery units market during forecast region."
The chemicals & petrochemicals segment is the second-largest end-use segment in the vapor recovery units (VRUs) market. Environmental regulations and sustainability programs are increasingly driving the use of VRUs in chemical processing, refining, and storage plants. The units recover and capture vapors efficiently, lowering emissions while improving operating efficiency. With the growing demand for petrochemical products and increasing investment in refining capacity, the demand for high-tech vapor recovery solutions is increasing. Companies are prioritizing emission control technology to comply with regulations and improve sustainability. Hence, the chemicals & petrochemicals industry will continue to be the highest growth contributor for the VRU market.
"North America accounts for the second-largest share in vapor recovery units market by region in 2024"
As a result of stringent emission control and improved environmental regulations, North America is the second-largest market for vapor recovery units (VRUs) globally. The focus of the region towards enhancing air quality and minimizing VOC emissions is propelling the demand for advanced VRU technology. In an attempt to enhance operational efficiency and meet the requirements of EPA regulations, North American industries increasingly favor using vapor recovery solutions. Other than that, pressure towards cleaner energy identification and increasing investment in cleaner behavior is accelerating VRU development. Policymaking in support of emission reduction as well as hydrocarbon recovery still drives more aggressive regional market attitudes.
