Market Dynamics

Introduction:

The market for recreational pressure vessels includes pressure vessels used in SCUBA diving, paintball applications, and other applications such as the balloon time kit.  In SCUBA diving, they store breathing gases such as filtered air, enriched nitrox, and trimix, allowing divers to explore underwater safely. In paintball, they provide the necessary pressure to power a paintball gun using carbon dioxide (CO2) or compressed air. Growing global tourism and rising interest in marine and adventure activities drive demand for diving equipment. Paintball has also seen growing participation as a recreational and competitive sport. Increasing consumer spending on leisure activities, technological improvements in pressure vessels, and greater accessibility to SCUBA training programs are creating healthy growth opportunities for the market.

Segment Analysis

By Application Type 

“SCUBA is anticipated to drive demand for the pressure vessels and is expected to experience the fastest growth in the coming years, fueled by the surge of tourism, increasing interest in marine exploration, and rising expenditure on recreational activities."

• The recreational pressure vessels market is segmented into SCUBA, paintball, and other applications. SCUBA remained the dominant segment and is expected to retain its leadership during the forecast period.

• Type-I pressure vessels account for over 90% of SCUBA diving tanks. The growing interest in recreational activities, particularly diving, has significantly boosted demand, reinforcing SCUBA's strong market position.

By Pressure Vessel Type

“Type I is expected to hold the largest share of the market, whereas Type III is projected to experience the fastest growth over the forecast period."
