The mass transfer equipment market is segmented into Type and Application.
By type, the trays sub-segment dominated the market in 2021. The trays sub-segment is expected to have a significant market share during the study period due to their beneficial uses in mass transfer stages and efficiency, and they are mostly employed as splitters in petrochemical and aromatic applications. Furthermore, active area developments and sophisticated technologies are expected to drive sub-segment growth by 2031. The mass transfer equipment has application in oil refineries for distillation purpose. These trays can operate under partial vacuum, under atmospheric, or complete vacuum conditions. These are predicted to be the major factors affecting the mass transfer equipment market size during the forecast period.
By application, the oil & gas sub-segment dominated the global mass transfer equipment market share in 2021. Oil & gas mass transfer in wastewater treatment techniques has received considerable attention in recent years from both business and academics. Without a doubt, advances in modelling oil & gas mass transfer can provide several benefits in terms of acid-base equilibria, reaction rates, plant energy expenditure, and greenhouse gas emissions.
By region, Europe dominated the global market in 2021 and is projected to remain the fastest-growing sub-segment during the forecast period. The demand in countries, namely Germany and France, is growing rapidly as it is a clean fuel and alternative to oil & gas-based. Established mass transfer equipment companies are primarily concentrating on strengthening their current product lines and increasing profitability through operational excellence, which will fuel the expansion of the European market.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Mass Transfer Equipment Industry
- COVID-19 has negatively impacted various industries such as chemical and petrochemical which has led to a drastic decline in petrochemical sales. As mass transfer equipment is widely used in chemical and petrochemical manufacturing, there was a significant reduction in mass transfer equipment demand globally.
- China is the leading producer and exporter of application such as chemicals required for mass transfer equipment production. However, China being the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, its export was affected, leading to a decline in mass transfer equipment production.
- Sales of mass transfer equipment are directly proportional to the demand from applications namely food & beverage, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, and others. However, the demand for mass transfer equipment in the chemicals industry was greatly affected owing to import-export restrictions, closed borders, and supply chain disruptions due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
