FRP Vessels Market worth $4.7 Billion by 2025 : Increasing demand in downstream Oil & Gas industry in US and Canada

The global FRP vessels market size is expected to grow from USD 3.3 billion in 2020 to USD 4.7 billion by 2025, projecting a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period between 2020 and 2025.FRP tanks have a significant application in the oil & gas industry. The downstream industry needs underground storage FRP vessels. According to the Association of State and Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials analysis, it was found that ~7,500 underground storage tanks (USTs) are sold in North America annually. The management of ZCL Composites Inc. has found that steel tanks account for less than 15% of new installations but are still 40%-50% of the currently installed/ in-service tank base. But due to pandemic in the year 2020, the FRP vessels declined due to partial and complete lockdown at major countries which disturbed the the supply chain of the market. However, the demand for FRP vesselswould show recovery with the recovery in oil & gas, and automotive & transportation applications and increased focus of countries on clean fuels.

Impact of COVID-19 on global FRP vessels market

FRP vessels are used across industrial, chemicals, transportation, oil & gas applications where the impact of COVID-19 has been greater. Lockdown imposed in various countries impacted commercial sectors, such as chemical plants and transportation, which plays a very big role in the FRP vessels market. At the early stage of 2020, 57% of the decline in oil demand was noted, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Also, road transport activity dropped by 50% in the early part of 2020. The drop in demand for oil and reduced road transport activity affected the FRP vessels market.
