Steel Pressure Vessel and Tank Market, Global Outlook and Forecast 2025-2032

In Business Insights
June 03, 2025

The Steel Pressure Vessel and Tank Market is experiencing steady expansion as industries increasingly require robust containment solutions for high-pressure applications. Recent market analysis shows the global market valued at USD 53.95 billion in 2023, with projections indicating growth to USD 66.80 billion by 2030, representing a 3.10% CAGR. This upward trajectory reflects the critical role these components play across energy, chemical processing, and manufacturing sectors.

Steel pressure vessels serve as indispensable assets for storing and processing gases, liquids, and volatile substances under extreme conditions. The industry’s momentum continues as refinements in steel alloys and manufacturing techniques enhance product reliability while meeting stringent ASME safety standards. Notably, the petrochemical sector accounts for over 35% of market demand, followed closely by power generation applications at 28%.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis

Asia-Pacific commands 42% of global pressure vessel production, with China’s manufacturing prowess driving substantial capacity expansions. The region benefits from accelerating LNG infrastructure development and refining sector investments, particularly in India and Southeast Asian markets. Japan maintains technological leadership in specialized vessel manufacturing for nuclear and high-purity applications.

North American growth stems from shale gas exploration and chemical plant retrofits, while Europe’s focus on renewable energy storage and green hydrogen projects creates new demand vectors. The Middle East continues to invest heavily in oil & gas processing equipment, with Saudi Arabia and the UAE accounting for 68% of regional market activity.

Key Market Drivers and Opportunities

The market’s expansion is propelled by three fundamental forces: escalating energy demand requiring extensive processing infrastructure, chemical industry capacity expansions, and the global push for alternative energy solutions. Pressure vessels enable safer operations in LNG terminals, hydrogen fuel systems, and carbon capture facilities – sectors projected to grow 140% collectively by 2030.

Emerging opportunities include modular pressure vessel systems for floating production units and the development of corrosion-resistant duplex steels for harsh environments. The biogas sector presents untapped potential, with anaerobic digester deployments expected to increase 75% in Europe and North America through 2028.

Challenges & Restraints

Market participants face several headwinds, including raw material price volatility affecting steel input costs which constitute 55-60% of production expenses. The industry also contends with lengthy certification processes, where ASME Section VIII Division 2 compliance can extend project timelines by 25-30%.

Trade protectionism measures impact market dynamics, as seen in the 18-22% import tariffs applied to Chinese pressure vessels in multiple jurisdictions. Additionally, the shift toward composite materials in certain applications threatens to capture 12-15% of the traditional steel vessel market by 2030.
