VOC RECOVERY AND ABATEMENT MARKET OVERVIEW

The global VOC recovery and abatement market size was valued at approximately USD 17.61 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 169.43 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 28.6% during the forecast period.

The process of recovering and reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air or other sources is referred to as VOC Recovery and Abatement. The significance of VOC Recovery and Abatement is that it contributes to environmental protection by lowering the level of air pollution. Solvents are used in the production of goods, distribution, and storage of finished or intermediate products in the fine & speciality chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Manufacturers may find it difficult to prevent unintentional releases of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere.

VOCs pose a major risk to human health and the environment; hence their emission is closely controlled by legislation. Manufacturers must also manage evaporation losses since else, their goods could actually disappear into thin air.

COVID-19 Impact: Shut Down of Chemical Industries to Hamper Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with VOC recovery and abatement market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The spike in CAGR is attributed to the VOC recovery and abatement market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The VOC recovery and abatement market covers a wide range of products, from institutional cleaners to medical equipment to automotive, indicating that a sector with such economic exposure will be significantly impacted by COVID-19. Chemical and material firms may be transitioning from recovering to prospering depending on how the pandemic develops and the state of the economy. Due to the crisis, some important trends have started to pick up speed, changing supply and demand across industries. There are other tendencies that the crisis is likely to cause to slow down or stop.

 Before the pandemic, significant trends are anticipated to continue to influence the business. Transportation has ceased as a result of the lockdown of cities and nations. There are countless chemical enterprises that have temporarily closed or are about to do so. Companies that rely heavily on Chinese manufacturing for raw materials, components, or finished items will be most negatively affected.

LATEST TRENDS

Rising Awareness About Health Hazards to Promote Market Growth

The demand for VOC recovery and abatement systems is anticipated to rise in the coming years due to growing awareness of the health risks posed by VOCs and their detrimental effects on human health. To combat the harmful effects of VOCs, strict government restrictions pertaining to air quality have also been put in place.

DRIVING FACTORS

Filtration Systems of the Recovery System to Augment Market Growth

Pollutants are separated using filtration systems for their solid, liquid, and gaseous forms. Filters, housings and seals, pumps and motors, as well as control devices, make up the filtration system. The removal of pollutants from drinking water or the treatment of wastewater that results in the production of industrial waste are two common uses for filtration systems. The market for VOC recovery and abatement includes filtering systems, which are crucial to the sector's development.

Use of Oxidizers in the System to Enhance Market Sales

Oxidizers are chemical substances that provide the substrate oxygen. They are employed in a range of processes, including as wood preservation, rubber processing, and metal finishing, because of this feature. The most popular oxidizer is hydrogen peroxide, which is widely used in industry since it can be found in both liquid and solid forms and at various quantities. Oxidizers are used by chemical businesses, oil refineries, and other facilities. The use of VOC systems at several points in the product life cycle, such as pre- and post-filtration, during storage tank cleaning and maintenance operations, is one of the other applications. According to estimates, a petrochemical firm will be the biggest end user of these systems, followed by a manufacturer. These factors are anticipated to propel VOC recovery and abatement market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Tower Blockages During the Process to Impede Market Expansion

The VOC recovery system encounters numerous technical faults that result in wastewater treatment issues, high particulate matter concentrations that may cause tower blockages, high maintenance costs, and the potential for white smoke. These factors are anticipated to constraint growth of VOC recovery and abatement market.

VOC RECOVERY AND ABATEMENT MARKET REGIONAL INSIGHTS

North America to Dominate the Market Due to Rising Demand

North America dominates the market and owns largest portion of VOC recovery and abatement market share. Due to the existence of numerous chemical and petrochemical producers, North America dominated the global market. Due to rising demand for VOC recovery and abatement solutions from numerous end-use sectors, including paints & coatings, plastics, pharmaceuticals and others, the region is anticipated to maintain its leadership over the projection period. Regional expansion is also being fueled by strict government laws governing VOC emissions. Due to its rapid industrialisation and the rising environmental concerns in developing nations, North America is anticipated to have one of the highest growth rates during the projection period.

KEY INDUSTRY PLAYERS

New Strategies Among Market Players to Boost Market Growth
