Petroleum Sorbent Pads Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increasing incidents of oil spills and pipeline ruptures is notably driving the petroleum sorbent pads market growth, although factors such as saturation and buoyancy of petroleum sorbent pads may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the petroleum sorbent pads industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Petroleum Sorbent Pads Market Driver
-
One of the key factors driving the global petroleum sorbent pads market growth is the increasing incidents of oil spills and pipeline ruptures.
- The rise in oil spills can be attributed to the increase in the transportation of crude oil through sea routes and pipelines, which is expected to drive the market for petroleum sorbent pads.
- In October 2021, an undersea oil pipeline ruptured off the Southern California coast and spilled 25,000 gallons of crude into the water, owing to the anchor from a massive cargo ship damaging the pipelines during a heavy windstorm.
- In July 2020, clean-tech startup, Log 9 Spill Containment Pvt Ltd supplied 10,000 units of 'Made-in-India' Sorbene, a graphene oil absorbent pad, to clean up a major oil spill off the coast of the island nation of Mauritius.
- The rise in such incidents will drive market growth during the forecast period.
Key Petroleum Sorbent Pads Market Trend
- An increase in oil spill preparedness programs is one of the key petroleum sorbent pads market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period.
- Regulatory bodies such as OSHA mandate training for dealing with emergency situations in the event of an oil spill.
- IMO aims at establishing programs and exercises for organizations involved in oil pollution response and the training of relevant personnel.
- The organization has designed model courses: an instrumental tool for the delivery of global initiative, which aims at promoting petroleum spill training and preparedness program.
- The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduced an oil spill prevention program in 1973 called 'Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC)' for the oil exploration and production industry.
- Such factors will further support the market growth in the coming years.
Key Petroleum Sorbent Pads Market Challenge
- One of the key challenges to the global petroleum sorbent pads market growth is the saturation and buoyancy of petroleum sorbent pads.
- The pads lose their buoyancy when saturated as they come in contact with oil and water in the course of use.
- Once the petroleum sorbent pads are saturated, they cannot recover oil any further and it becomes difficult to identify the level of saturation.
- Sorbent pads, which are made from organic materials such as sawdust and straw, initially possess but eventually lose their affinity for fluids such as petroleum.
- Thus, these sorbents become saturated and sink to the bottom after a very short span of use.
- Such factors may hamper the demand for sorbent pads in the coming years.
