The storage tank market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $15.08 billion in 2024 to $15.71 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial revolution and urbanization, advancements in material sciences, petroleum and oil industry expansion, regulatory compliance and safety standards, chemical industry growth.

The storage tank market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.31 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to resilient storage solutions, hydrogen storage demand, industrial expansion and infrastructure development, stricter environmental regulations, shift towards LNG and gas storage. Major trends in the forecast period include modular and customized solutions, remote monitoring and IoT integration, green and sustainable practices, rise in chemical and petrochemical industries, water conservation solutions.

The exacerbating water scarcity in numerous regions stands as the primary impetus driving the storage tank market's expansion. The dearth of water access for drinking and basic hygiene, prevalent in homes, schools, and healthcare facilities, underscores the severity of water scarcity. Storage tanks serve as crucial reservoirs, ensuring access to water for various purposes, including drinking, irrigation, and fire suppression. Alarmingly, the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) forecasts that by as early as 2025, half of the world's population could inhabit areas facing water scarcity, with projections indicating that by 2040, 1 in 4 children globally will grapple with extremely high water stress. Hence, the mounting water scarcity in diverse regions emerges as the driving force behind the burgeoning storage tank market.

Projections for the storage tank market highlight growth prospects, primarily due to the rising oil and gas industry. This industry, covering activities from resource exploration to distribution, extensively relies on storage tanks for crude oil, refined products, and natural gas liquids. A report from HM Revenue and Customs in September 2023 indicated a significant increase in UK government revenues from oil and gas production, totaling $1.79 billion (£1.4 billion) in the tax year 2021 to 2022 compared to $0.38 billion (£0.3 billion) in the preceding year. This substantial growth in revenues signifies a key driver behind the expected expansion of the storage tank market.

Within the storage tank market, a prevailing trend involves product innovation, wherein companies strive to fortify their market positions by introducing new products. In October 2023, Slovnaft, a prominent Slovakia-based oil refinery company, launched a cutting-edge ethylene storage tank specifically designed for liquefied ethylene storage. This non-pressurized double-walled cylindrical vessel, measuring 30 meters in diameter and 26.7 meters in height, boasts a capacity of 6,000 tons (10,000 m3) of liquid ethylene. It maintains a storage temperature of -103 degrees Celsius under an overpressure of 8 kPa (g), presenting an innovative solution in the ethylene storage domain.

Value Carbon, a Netherlands-based technology firm, collaborated with Evos, an independent liquid bulk storage provider, in December 2023. Their joint effort involves constructing absorption liquid storage tanks for CO2 recycling, aiming to establish an integrated CO2 Park. This infrastructure facilitates CO2 purification, liquefaction, storage, and transportation, optimizing carbon capture and utilization methods.

In March 2024, Welspun Group, a fabric product manufacturer based in India, acquired Sintex, a leading water tank manufacturer, for $148.9 million (₹1,251 crore). This acquisition is intended to strengthen Welspun's building material portfolio, a key component of its overall business-to-consumer (B2C) strategy. Sintex specializes in the manufacturing of water storage tanks in India.

Storage tanks are containers used for short- or long-term storage of liquids, compressed gases, or mediums for heat or cold storage. They serve single or dual purposes based on location within the system and configuration.

Storage tanks primarily fall into two categories such as aboveground and underground tanks. Aboveground tanks are susceptible to pitting and crevice corrosion, often due to the pressure exerted between the tank and the soil. They are constructed from various materials including steel, concrete, polyethylene, and other substances. These tanks serve multiple sectors such as the petroleum, chemical, grain and oil, food industries, and various other applications.
