South Korea Vapor Recovery Units Market Size Worth USD 370.21 Million by 2034 | CAGR: 4.98%

The south korea vapor recovery units market size is expected to reach USD 370.21 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “South Korea Vapor Recovery Units Market Share, Size, 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.

Vapor recovery units (VRUs) are systems designed to capture and recover harmful vapors emitted during the storage, loading, and unloading of volatile liquids such as gasoline, crude oil, and chemicals. These vapors, primarily hydrocarbons, contribute to air pollution, health hazards, and product loss. VRUs use technologies such as adsorption, absorption, condensation, or membrane separation to capture and condense vapors into liquid form, which can then be reused or safely disposed of. They are widely used in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, and fuel distribution to comply with environmental regulations, reduce emissions, and improve operational efficiency. VRUs help protect the environment by preventing the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It helps enhance workplace safety and minimize economic losses from evaporative product waste.

Vapor recovery units (VRUs) are advanced systems implemented to meet stringent environmental standards set by the Ministry of Environment. The country has adopted strict regulations to control VOC emissions, particularly in industrial zones, oil storage terminals, and gas stations. South Korean VRUs often employ adsorption and condensation technologies to ensure high recovery rates. The government enforces compliance through regular inspections and penalties for non-compliance, driving industries to invest in efficient VRU systems. Additionally, South Korea’s focus on sustainability has led to innovations in energy-efficient VRUs, reducing operational costs while minimizing environmental impact. Major industries, including petrochemicals and oil refining, prioritize VRU installations to align with the nation’s green growth policies and international climate commitments.

South Korea Vapor Recovery Units (VRUs) Market Report Highlights

• In terms of technology, the absorption segment accounted for a major South Korea VRUs market share in 2024 due to its high efficiency in capturing VOCs and its adaptability across multiple industrial applications, including oil and gas, petrochemical, and chemical manufacturing facilities.
