Vapor Recovery Units Market Size Worth USD 1,918.72 Million by 2034 | CAGR: 2.41%


The vapor recovery unit market size is expected to reach USD 1,918.72 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Vapor Recovery Units Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Technology (Absorption, Condensation, Membrane Separation, Adsorption, Others), By Application, By End User, By RegionMarket Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The global vapor recovery unit (VRU) market is witnessing steady growth, driven by ongoing technological advancements that are transforming how industries manage volatile organic compounds (VOCs). With rising global commitments to environmental sustainability and the enforcement of stricter VOC emission regulations across various regions, businesses are increasingly adopting advanced VRU technologies. Modern systems are equipped with intelligent sensors, automated controls, and integration with data analytics platforms. These features improve vapor recovery efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and reduce operational costs.

These innovations are particularly valuable for industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, and petrochemicals, where emission control is a top priority. For example, VRUs are widely used at refineries, oil storage facilities, terminals, and fuel distribution networks to capture harmful vapors and prevent product loss. In addition, the growing adoption of modular and scalable VRU systems supports flexible deployment across both large industrial facilities and smaller distribution sites. As industries worldwide move toward energy efficiency and cleaner operations, VRUs are emerging as an essential technology for sustainable growth.
