Pressure Vessel and Tank Coatings Market Segment Analysis – By Type

Epoxy segment held the largest share in the pressure vessel and tank coatings market in the year 2020 with a growing CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period 2021-2026. Epoxy coatings work very well in high temperatures as well as in water. Epoxy coating does not deteriorate in extreme conditions and does not peel off even in steamers. Epoxy coatings are highly suited for vessel tanks, water boxes, with temperature resistance of around 365 °F (185 °C). This makes it a preferred type of coating for vessel tanks used in nuclear plants and reactor pressure vessels. This is majorly driving the demand for epoxy coatings in the pressure vessel and tank coatings market.

Pressure Vessel and Tank Coatings Market Segment Analysis – By Technology

Solvent-based segment held the largest share in the pressure vessel and tank coatings market in the year 2020. Solvent-based coatings are more preferred, as they help in speeding up the curing process and thus helps in speeding up the reaction, thereby reducing any drying time. Solvent-based coatings are less suspectable to change to the environmental temperature. Solvent-based coatings have a better flow and gives better results than water-based coatings. The durability of solvent-based coatings is much higher than water-based solvents, and therefore can be used in nuclear plants, for a longer time. This is majorly driving the demand for solvent-based segment in the pressure vessel and tank coatings market.

Pressure Vessel and Tank Coatings Market Segment Analysis – By Application

Oil and Gas segment held the largest share in the pressure vessel and tank coatings market in the year 2020 with a growing CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period 2021-2026. The increase in the demand and production for petrochemicals is driving the demand for pressure vessels and tanks in the petrochemicals and refinery industry, as it is widely used in storing gas and liquids under desired pressure, in reaction chambers. Pressure vessel and tank coatings are necessary to keep the vessels and oil tanks cool, since if it reacts with the heat, it might react with the oil and petroleum inside the tank and cause hazards. This is majorly driving the demand for pressure vessel and tank coatings market. For instance, according to United States Refining and Storage Capacity Report published by American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, the refining capacity in the US increased by 1.10% during the year 2019. Similarly, according to Indian Brand Equity Foundation, the Indian government, during the year 2020, announced an investment of US$102.49 billion on oil and gas infrastructure in the next five years. This will further drive the demand for pressure vessels and tank coatings market in the oil and gas industry as it is majorly used in reaction chambers in the oil and gas industry for preventing heat reactions.

Pressure Vessel and Tank Coatings Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

Asia-Pacific region held the largest share of 30% in the pressure vessel and tank coatings market in the year 2020. The rapid growth in the population in countries like India and China coupled with the increase in demand for power and energy in the region is highly driving the pressure vessel and tank coatings market in Asia Pacific region. For instance, according to the Ministry of new and renewable energy, of Government of India, the total installed capacity of wind energy in India was 37739.45 megawatts in the year 2020, an increase of 5.94% from 35621.67 megawatts in the year 2019.
