Collapsible Fuel Tank Market Report 2026

The collapsible fuel tank market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.7 billion in 2025 to $1.87 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing use in military and disaster relief operations, growth in remote mining activities, expansion of temporary fuel storage needs, adoption in agricultural irrigation support, availability of durable composite materials.

The collapsible fuel tank market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.74 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in mobile energy infrastructure, rising demand for flexible fuel logistics, expansion of off-grid operations, growing use in emergency response planning, advancements in high-strength fabric materials. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for rapidly deployable fuel storage solutions, rising use of lightweight industrial fabric tanks, growing adoption in remote and emergency operations, expansion of mobile fuel storage applications, enhanced focus on leak prevention and durability.

The growing demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the collapsible fuel tank market in the coming years. Electric vehicles are vehicles that use electricity to enhance overall vehicle efficiency. Fuel tanks used in extended-range electric vehicles must be capable of withstanding high vapor pressures to support optimization of the vehicle’s full electric driving range. As a result, the rising adoption of electric vehicles is increasing the demand for collapsible fuel tanks. For example, in 2024, according to the International Energy Agency, electric car sales increased by 3.5 million units in 2023 compared to 2022, representing a year-on-year growth of 35%. In 2023, electric vehicles accounted for approximately 18% of total global car sales, up from 14% in the previous year. Therefore, the rising demand for electric vehicles is driving the growth of the collapsible fuel tank market.

The increasing adoption of alternative fuels is also expected to propel the growth of the collapsible fuel tank market going forward. Alternative fuels include non-traditional or unconventional energy sources used to power vehicles, machinery, and other energy-dependent applications. Collapsible fuel tanks provide portable and flexible storage solutions for alternative fuels and can be deployed across multiple locations for efficient storage and transportation. For instance, in September 2023, according to the Energy Information Administration, a US-based government agency, total biofuel production capacity - including renewable diesel, biodiesel, ethanol, and other biofuels - reached 23 billion gallons per year in January 2023, reflecting a 6% increase compared to January 2022. Fuel ethanol accounted for 78% of US biofuel production capacity, while renewable diesel and other biofuels represented 13%, and biodiesel made up 9%. Therefore, the increasing production of alternative fuels is expected to further drive the growth of the collapsible fuel tank market.

In May 2024, TransDigm Group Incorporated, a US-based aerospace components manufacturer, acquired SEI Industries Ltd. for approximately $190 million. This acquisition was intended to expand and strengthen TransDigm’s portfolio of proprietary and highly engineered aerospace and defense products, while also increasing its presence in specialty, mission-critical equipment markets such as aerial firefighting and fluid handling solutions. SEI Industries Ltd. is a Canada-based manufacturing company specializing in the design and production of engineered textile products, including aerial firefighting buckets, collapsible fuel and liquid storage tanks, and other fluid containment and delivery systems used in aerospace, defense, and industrial applications.
