Pressure vessels are essentially storage tanks varying in shape and size and find extensive commercial and industrial application. The vessels are designed for numerous pressure ranges from vacuum to very high pressure. Traditionally, these vessels were fabricated from metal (iron and steel) but that is now changing with the increase in application of composites. Pressure vessels are categorized into four categories based on their construction materialI, II, III, IV. Category I represents a vessel made of 100% metal while category IV represents 100% composite material. Improvement in pressure vessel design by making them able to bear high pressures and making them light weight is of immense importance especially to the automobile industry, as the complete fuel propulsion and storage system of automobiles is dependent on these vessels. The current developments in alternative fuel sources like Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and hydrogen provide for immense importance to the epoxy resin market in design and manufacture of light weight and efficient pressure vessels.
Currently, the automotive is the largest contributor to the demand of the market. Rapid increase in CNG vehicles and design & development of vehicles based on hydrogen fuel cells majorly drive the market growth. But on the other hand, inability of composites to comply with demanding technical aspects is estimated to limit the expansive nature of the market. Ongoing R&D in numerous developed and developing economies on the same provides immense opportunities.
The report segments the epoxy resin market in pressure vessels for alternate fuels on the basis of application, vessel type, vehicle type, and geography. Based on application the market is categorized into gas transport, CNG vehicle, and hydrogen vehicle. Based on vessel type, it is classified into type I, II, III, and IV.
