Flare Gas Recovery System Market 2016 to 2020 Outlook Compared to 2021 to 2031 Forecast

Revenue generated by the oil and gas segment of the flare gas recovery system (FGRS) market rose gradually in 2021. Demand for flare gas recovery systems grew by 4.8% between 2020 and 2021, enabling growth in the flare gas recovery system market.

The FGRS market is regulation driven. Historically, the market witnessed impressive growth after 2015, when the World Bank launched its “Zero Flaring by 2030” initiative. The initiative was launched to end routine flaring by 2030, by facilitating cooperation between stakeholders to find solutions to curb gas flaring through appropriate regulations, adoption of technologies, and financial arrangements.

Leading flare gas recovery system manufacturing companies are focusing on providing highly efficient and cost-effective options that reduce payback periods. Further, manufacturers are investing in research and development in FGRS to enhance their capability to work in remote oil and gas fields to improve sales.

Country-wise Insights

How will Flare Gas Recovery System Sales Fare Across the USA?

According to the study, the USA is expected to account for over 76% of the North American flare gas recovery systemmarket through 2031.

According to the World Bank, the USA accounted for 70% of global flaring decline, with gas flaring falling by 32% from 2019 to 2020, due to an 8% drop in oil production, combined with new infrastructure to use gas that would otherwise be flared. This indicates the successful implementation of regulation and increasing use of renewable energy in the country.

Besides this, the presence of key market players and robust oil & gas infrastructure is further expected to boost sales of flare gas recovery systems. The USA has numerous remote oil and gas fields that are spurring demand for flare gas recovery systems. This is expected to provide lucrative opportunities to key market players and new entrants operating in the USA

Why is the Demand for Flare Gas Recovery systems increasing in the GCC and Northern African countries?

Demand in the Middle East and Africa market is expected to rise at nearly 5.0% CAGR over the forecast period. Countries such as Qatar, KSA, Algeria and Tunisia have emerged as prominent players in the flare gas recovery system market in terms of consumption.

The Middle East and Africa have been one of the leading oil and gas-producing regions with OPEC countries being the epicentre of production hubs. Increasing competition in the oil and gas sector has compelled prominent oil and gas companies in the region to concentrate on their emissions and carbon footprints, not only pricing.

However, pricing in the region remains one of the highest around the world owing to the high import rate. Since the ambient temperature in the region is higher than in other countries, and frequent sandstorms require more durable fittings, demand for flare gas recovery systems is expected to remain high in these regions over the assessment period.

How Will the Flare Gas Recovery System Expand Across Russia?

Europe is one of the key manufacturers of flare gas recovery systems across the globe. In 2021, it is expected to account for over 14% of total flare gas recovery system sales. As per FMI, Russia is expected to hold 12.9% of the Europe flare gas recovery systemmarket share in 2031.

In recent years, improved technology, and stringent regulation against flaring in Europe to minimize emissions and payback period are propelling sales of flare gas recovery systems in the country.

According to the World Bank, Russia topped the list of global gas flaring countries in 2020, contributing 15% of global gas flaring. Mixed performance is seen across Russia, with a significant increase in flaring at oil production sites in East Siberia, along with improvements in flaring reduction in the KMAO region in West Siberia.

Considering this, FMI has projected a steady rise in FGRS sales in Russia, owing to its high oil and gas producing capacities which would require proper systems to cut emissions and flaring. Besides this, demand for flare gas recovery systems is anticipated to rise in the biogas and landfill sectors over the assessment period.

Will China Continue Exhibiting High Demand for Flare Gas Recovery Systems?

China has been the epicenter for oil and gas production in the East Asia region and is estimated to account for over 50% of the East Asia flare gas recovery system market by 2031.

According to the World Bank, gas flaring in China increased by 35%, placing it as the ninth-highest flaring country in 2020. Increasing gas flaring can be attributed to new field developments in the West of China. This is because Chinese regulation is much less stringent when compared to regulations in the USA and the European Union.

However, the country still has a significant installed base of FGRS. Stringency in regulations regarding carbon emissions in China is expected to fuel sales of flare gas recovery systems in China over the forecast period.

How are Government Initiatives Boosting Flare Gas Recovery System Sales in India?

In 2021, India is anticipated to account for over 32%of sales of flare gas recovery systems in the South Asia region. The primary growth driver in the region is the ongoing expansion of the oil and gas sector.

According to Invest India, India's current refining capacity stands at 249 MMTPA, comprising 23 refineries - 18 under the public sector, 3 under the private sector and 2 in a joint venture. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is the largest domestic refiner with a capacity of 70 MMTPA.

Top three companies -IOC, Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) and Reliance Industries (RIL) - contribute around 66.3% of India's total refining production from FY 2018-19. India is expected to emerge as a refinery hub as the country is planning to increase its refining capacity to 400 MMTPA by 2025.

The aforementioned statistics suggest that India will emerge as a prominent oil and gas industry, which, in turn, will benefit the expansion of the flare gas recovery system market in the country.
