Hydrogen Sulfide Scavenger Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The rise in global oil and gas refinery capacity is notably driving the hydrogen sulfide scavenger market growth, although factors such as the COVID impact may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the hydrogen sulfide scavenger industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Scavenger Market Driver
- The rise in global oil and gas refinery capacity is one of the key drivers supporting the hydrogen sulfide scavenger market growth.
- Hydrogen sulfide is a byproduct of crude oil, which is formed in the refining process by the degradation of sulfur-containing compounds in crude at high temperatures.
- Many refineries try to remove hydrogen sulfide from cracked streams used in blending fuels. Moreover, hydrogen sulfide scavenger removes hydrogen sulfide and some mercaptan from hydrocarbon streams.
- The rising oil and gas demand has led to a simultaneous increase in global refinery capacity due to the addition of new refineries or the expansion of existing refinery complexes
- Several major refinery expansions are under either the planning or construction stage and are expected to be completed during the forecast period. These expansions will drive the hydrogen sulfide scavenger market growth during the forecast period.
Key Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Scavenger Market Trend
- An increase in the adoption of IoT in industrial emission control systems is one of the key hydrogen sulfide (H2S) scavenger market trends fueling the market growth.
- Advances in sensors, IoT platforms, and mobile communications technologies have resulted in the development of small, portable, cost-effective, and mobile-enabled sensors.
- Big Data capabilities, such as analytics and machine learning, can be applied to related data sets such as weather and traffic to gauge causes and fluctuations in air pollution.
- the formulation and implementation of various health and safety regulations across the world against hydrogen sulfide are increasing the adoption of gas sensors and air quality monitors for critical industries, such as oil and gas, mining, and paper and pulp industries.
- For instance, Spec Sensors offers hydrogen sulfide sensors, such as Digital Gas Sensor Module for H2S and Ultra-Low Power Analog Sensor Module for H2S. Such technologically advanced solutions are controlling hydrogen sulfide emissions. This is likely to boost the growth of the global hydrogen sulfide scavenger market during the forecast period.
Key Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Scavenger Market Challenge
- The COVID impact is one of the factors challenging the hydrogen sulfide scavenger market growth.
- The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the global economy. The economic fallout of the pandemic is expected to be enormous in terms of the loss in production, income, and employment.
- IMF estimates that global economic growth in 2020 is likely to fall to -3%. This might have a negative impact on the global economy and thus affect various sectors, such as the global hydrogen sulfide scavenger market.
- One of the major segments of the global economy impacted due to COVID-19 is the oil and gas industry.
- The global oil and gas industry entered a new period of uncertainty after the global price of crude oil price plunged to $23.36 per barrel on March 23, 2020. Such an increasing price of crude oil will limit the hydrogen sulfide scavenger market growth during the forecast period.
This hydrogen sulfide scavenger market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
