Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) is a combination material made up of a polymer matrix and fibre reinforcement. Chemical plants, oil and gas fields, wastewater treatment plants, mining, and power plants all use FRP vessels. FRP is used to fabricate vessels ranging in size from 1 to 20 metres. Several design standards, including Bs4994-87, ASME RTP-1, ASTM 3299, and SS2451995, are used to construct FRP vessels. These design standards ensure that the vessel thickness, axial stress, hoop stress, physical characteristics, and Young's modulus are all maintained. These are also utilised in chlor-alkali producing plants, pulp and paper industries, air pollution control equipment, electroplating applications, and brine production plants, among many other applications. Factors such as growing need of municipal waste water treatment and rising number of portable water treatment plant is creating profitable opportunities for the FRP vessels market in the forecast period.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 HYDRAULIC TURBINE MARKET
COVID-19 has had a greater impact on FRP vessels in industrial, chemical, transportation, and oil & gas applications. Commercial sectors such as chemical plants and transportation, which play a significant role in the FRP vessel market, were disrupted by the various countries' lockdowns. According to the International Energy Agency, 57% of the reduction in oil demand was observed in early 2020. (IEA). In addition, in the first half of 2020, road transport activity fell by 50%. The market for FRP vessels was impacted by the decline in oil demand and reduced road transport activity. FRP is used in water and wastewater treatment plants, although this industry has been negatively impacted by the spread of coronavirus. COVID-19 caused a $12.5 billion income loss, according to the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA). As a result, the pandemic has had a negative impact on the global FRP vessel market.
