FLAME ARRESTORS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global flame arrestors market size is anticipated to be valued at USD 0.8 billion in 2025, with a projected growth to USD 1.57 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 7.76% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Flame Arrestors market size is projected at USD 0.26 billion in 2025, the Europe Flame Arrestors market size is projected at USD 0.20 billion in 2025, and the China Flame Arrestors market size is projected at USD 0.24 billion in 2025.

In order to stop a flame from spreading and starting a large fire or explosion, flame arrestors, often referred to as deflagration or flame traps, let gas travel through them. Flame arresters are used in a variety of circumstances, including the pipeline transportation of gas and oil.

More than any other business, the oil and gas sector work primarily with materials that are more likely to catch fire. There have been a number of incidents in the oil and gas sector in the past. Governments throughout the world opted to install flame arrestors at locations with a higher likelihood of spark generation in order to prevent and manage such events (especially in the oil and gas industry). The use of flame arrestors in the oil and gas sector is anticipated to increase as a result of these regulations and safety measures from various governments.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Strict Government Laws Hindered the Market Demands

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with flame arrestors experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on the market by lowering demand for products produced by the chemical, power generation, and oil and gas sectors. But the market saw a gain as a result of the recovery in growth. Moreover, the market for flame arrestors may be influenced by strict government laws, notably those requiring the chemical and oil and gas sectors to install flame arrestors for safety reasons.

LATEST TRENDS

Investment of Billions by Industries Led to Market Growth

Compared to 2015, the gas output on a worldwide scale rose in 2020. Additionally, the capability of refining oil on a worldwide scale reached thousands of barrels per day in 2020. (bpd). The growth of the oil and gas industry's production and refining sectors, where flame arrestors are mostly employed, is anticipated to propel the market throughout the projection period. In order to increase petrochemical capacity, refining effectiveness, and upstream oil and gas exploration and production operations, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd intended to invest billions over the course of five years.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy, there has been a 27% increase in the deployment of flame arrestors in biofuel and hydrogen storage systems in the last five years due to rising safety protocols.

• As per the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), over 45% of flame arrestors installed in industrial sectors across the EU in 2023 were integrated with smart pressure and temperature monitoring systems.
