Market Dynamics
Introduction
A vapor recovery unit (VRU) is a specially designed compression package that reduces emissions from fuel vapors while recovering valuable hydrocarbons for on-site sale or reuse as fuel. A vapor recovery package is designed to capture approximately 95% of Btu-rich vapors, which have many benefits, including reduced air pollution and the recovery of gasoline vapors for use as fuel.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 outbreak has had an effect on the market for vapor recovery units due to supply chain disruption, business closures, delays in transportation services, and travel restrictions. Because of the decrease in demand for the products brought on by the pandemic, the oil and gas industry has been severely impacted.
Manufacturing activities have also come to a halt as a result of the globalization of strict regulations. Additional factors influencing market development include decreased oil demand, the state of the economy, and the decline in oil prices.
Market Drivers
Concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and strict environmental regulations for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions are expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. Every industrial process's effectiveness and safety have received increased attention on a global scale.
As a result, the use of vapor recovery units, as well as extensive development such as dry pump technology, with its overall dependability and lower contamination of recovered vapors, is likely to create an excellent opportunity for the vapor recovery units market in the future.
