Vapor Recovery Units Market Synopsis

A vapor recovery unit is a set of components that includes a scrubber, compressor, and switch. Its main purpose is to collect vapors that have developed inside sealed tanks. Storage tank vapors are hazardous to the environment. Due to their environmentally friendly and efficient character, as well as their ease of use, vapor recovery systems are in high demand. The strict environmental rules for VOC emissions are driving the market for vapor recovery units. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are substances that vaporize at room temperature and are a major source of pollution at ground level. Various state regulatory agencies have implemented strict environmental restrictions to recover VOCs.

In the forecast period, factors such as increased concerns about greenhouse gas emissions, as well as strict environmental restrictions for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, are projected to drive the market. The high cost of installation and maintenance for recovery systems, on the other hand, is anticipated to limit the market's growth in the coming years. The purchase of raw materials necessary to build and engineer vapor recovery systems, as well as their installation and maintenance, require a significant amount of capital.

Industry News

• The National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Consumer and Commercial Products (40CFR 59) controls VOCs at the federal level in the United States. Different types of coatings, such as aerosol coatings, vehicle refinish coatings, architectural coatings, and consumer products, are subject to environmental restrictions. Aerosol coatings are governed by 40 CFR 59 Subpart E, which outlines identified parties' obligations, labeling requirements, definitions, reporting requirements, record-keeping requirements, and category restrictions.


• Between April 2000 and June 2018, India's petroleum and natural gas sector drew USD 7 billion in FDI, according to the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP). In numerous market areas, such as natural gas, petroleum products, and refineries, the Indian government has approved 100 percent FDI.

The factor driving the demand for vapor recovery unit is the stringent environmental regulations for VOC emissions. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the chemicals that vaporize at room temperature and are the major reason for ground-level air pollution. Stringent environmental regulations have been imposed by various state regulatory bodies to recover the VOCs. For instance, the US regulates VOCs at the federal level through the 40CFR 59, which is the National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Consumer and Commercial Products. Environmental regulations are mainly made for different types of coatings, including aerosol coatings, automobile refinish coatings, architectural coatings, and consumer products. Aerosol coatings are generally covered under the 40 CFR 59 Subpart E, which contains the responsibilities of defined parties, labeling requirements, definitions, reporting requirements, record keeping, and category limits. Architectural coatings are covered under the 40 CFR 59 Subpart D, which contains definitions, labeling requirements, reporting requirements, record keeping, category limits, and exceedance fees. Moreover, automobile refinish coatings are covered in 40 CFR 59 Subpart B, containing responsibilities of defined parties, definitions, labeling requirements, record keeping, and reporting requirements. Additionally, consumer products are covered under the 40 CFR 59 Subpart C, containing responsibilities of defined parties, definitions, record keeping, labeling requirements, and reporting requirements. Such factors boost the demand for the vapor recovery units during the forecast period.
