U.S. Vapor Recovery Units Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Technology (Absorption, Condensation, Membrane Separation, Adsorption, Others), By Application, By End User – Market Forecast, 2025–2034
Description
The U.S. vapor recovery units market size is expected to reach USD 664.62 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “U.S. Vapor Recovery Units Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Technology (Absorption, Condensation, Membrane Separation, Adsorption, Others), By Application, By End User – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The U.S. vapor recovery units (VRUs) market is growing steadily, driven by the rising focus on environmental compliance and the expansion of oil & gas, petrochemical, and renewable energy sectors. Increasing regulatory pressures from agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) and greenhouse gas emissions are creating strong demand for VRUs across storage terminals, refineries, and transportation operations. Companies are increasingly adopting VRUs to capture and recover vapors from storage tanks, pipelines, and loading facilities, turning emissions into reusable resources while meeting strict environmental standards. The market is also benefiting from technological advancements, with manufacturers introducing modular, automated, and remotely monitored VRUs that enhance efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. Many providers now offer comprehensive services, including system installation, monitoring, and maintenance, making VRU adoption more convenient and cost-effective for operators. The flexibility of deploying both permanent and mobile VRU solutions allows businesses to address varying project requirements and operational scales, avoiding compliance risks and optimizing resource recovery.
The U.S. vapor recovery units market is witnessing steady growth. The surge in shale oil and gas exploration across the U.S. has led to a notable increase in vapor emissions from well sites, storage tanks, and transportation systems. This rise in emissions has directly fueled the demand for vapor recovery units (VRUs) in upstream operations. With shale development continuing to accelerate, the need for efficient vapor management solutions is expected to grow during the forecast period.
U.S. Vapor Recovery Units Market Report Highlights
The absorption segment accounted for USD 178.53 million revenue share in 2024 due to increasing adoption of VOC emission control solutions in oil & gas, petrochemical, and fuel storage facilities, along with stringent environmental regulations.
The transportation segment is projected to register a CAGR of 3.17% during the forecast period. The segment growth is attributed to increasing fuel distribution activities, expansion of oil & gas logistics networks, and the growing need to control vapor emissions during storage and transportation operations.
The oil & gas segment accounted for USD 338.31 million revenue share in 2024, attributed to increasing exploration and production activities, strict emission regulations, and the rising need to capture and recover vapors from storage tanks such as hydrogen storage tanks and transportation operations.
A few global key market players include Aereon, Inc.; Cimarron Energy, Inc.; Cool Sorption A/S; Dover Corporation; Flogistix, LP; John Zink Hamworthy Combustion; PSG Dover / Blackmer; S&S Technical, Inc.; Symex Technologies LLC; and Zeeco, Inc.
