The Replaceable segment is growing at a significant CAGR of 6.8% in the forecast period as it is used widely in the Oil and Gas industry due to features such as high durability, versatile designs, optimum level arresting capacity, and others. According to Oil & Gas IQ, in 2019 the oil and gas industry will grow at a remarkable rate, owing to the increased upstream production. It is also estimated that Oil also accounts for a significant percentage of energy consumption regionally from 32% for Europe and Asia, 40% for North America, 41% for Africa, 44% for South and 53% for the Middle East. Critical environments facilitating explosion or blasts due to presence of volatile or harmful gases within the atmosphere, the need for regular inspection becomes essential in order to avoid accidents or severe damages in the long term. Such instances have been propelling the demand towards hydrogen flame and flashback arrestors in which the arrestor parts or elements can be easily replaced, thus reducing the need for purchasing new flame explosion trapping devices. All these factors are analyzed to boost the growth of the market in the forecast period 2021-2026.

Hydrogen Flame and Flashback Arrestors Market Segment Analysis - By Industry Vertical

Oil and Gas sector is expected to witness a highest CAGR of 6.9% in the forecast period as there is remarkable growth in the Oil and Gas sector in the recent years. The environmentally vulnerable aspect of the oil & gas field makes it important to install hazard management appliances. A big catalyst for the development of the sector is the new shale gas and tight oil revolution in the US and Canada. With the cost of production diminishing as emerging developments develop, shale gas and tight oil production has risen rapidly and these are used in the bulk storage of oil and gas, offering minimum product losses and best-in-class pressure relief and explosion protection performance. According to OPEC, Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) increased crude oil production capacity to 4 mb/d in 2020, where the additional production capacity came from technically challenging sour and heavy fields. Kuwait has accordingly awarded enhanced technical service agreements with international firms for the development of heavy oil boosting the use of alternators. In addition, The Clean Fuels Project (CFP), started in 2019, transformed Kuwait’s two refineries into a single integrated merchant-refining complex. As part of this integration project, Mina al-Ahmadi refinery shed 120,000 b/d and the Mina al-Abdulla refinery added 184,000 b/d resulting in a net gain of 64,000 b/d with a total of 800,000 b/d refining capacity at the new integrated complex in 2019. All these boosted the growth of the hydrogen flame and flashback arrestors Market.

Hydrogen Flame and Flashback Arrestors Market Drivers

Rising investments towards Oil and Gas Projects:

Increasing industrialization has resulted in the surge of oil and gas applications where there is a requirement of hydrogen flame and flashback arrestors for damage protection. Oil and gas sector is considered as a major end-user incorporating flame arrestors owing to its highly critical and hazardous industrial environment. Production facilities related to oil & gas processing as well as refining utilizes a wide range of hazardous and volatile compounds or chemicals, which affect industrial safety, thus creating high demand towards hydrogen flame and flashback arrestors. With the surging COVID-19 pandemic, the oil & gas construction projects were postponed as an initiative towards preventing the virus spread. As per the data from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, the project activities across 8,363 oil and gas projects worth Rs. 5.88 lakh crore have been resumed across India in 2020. The start of oil & gas construction projects with maintaining standard operating procedures related to pandemic, will be driving requirement of gas pipelines, treatment systems, gas storage tanks with many others in the long run. As these industrial machines are a part of exerting harmful and toxic gases or vapors, there can be explosion threats, thus boosting the growth of flame arrestors owing to rising oil & gas projects.

Government regulations regarding industrial safety concerns:

The Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas serves as a technical standard directorate responsible for coordinating the implementation of self-regulatory measures, which are aimed at enhancing safety standards within the oil & gas plants operating in India. Several set standards namely, OISD STD 116 and OISD STD 117 regarding fire protection facilities across oil or gas processing plants as well as petroleum refineries, which has been causing a positive impact on the installation of fire explosion control systems such as hydrogen flame arrestors. According to the guidelines set by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regarding industrial safety across chemical industries, the manufacturing plants are bound to comply with fire safety regulations. Due to the generation of various volatile and harmful obnoxious gases within the industry, there are high chances of fire explosions owing to the mixing of flammable substances within the machines, thus making it mandatory to install various fire protection equipment. Such regulatory policies have been helping to boost the demand towards hydrogen flame arrestors across chemical industries.
