Top of FormThe high cost of constructing storage tanks poses a significant challenge for industries seeking to expand or upgrade their storage infrastructure. High upfront costs include land acquisition, material procurement, and adherence to safety standards, making it essential for companies to carefully assess the economic viability of such investments. The dynamic regulatory landscape, marked by evolving environmental and safety standards, presents an ongoing challenge. Storage tank operators need to stay cautious to comply with the changing regulations, which may necessitate regular upgrades or modifications to the existing facilities.

Storage Tank Market Trends

Remote monitoring capabilities are becoming more prevalent, allowing operators to manage and monitor storage tank facilities from a distance. This trend aims at improving efficiency, reducing operational costs, and enhancing safety. For instance, HMS Network’s Netbiter communication gateway connects to the tank level sensor using a serial, Ethernet or I/O connection. The gateway sends information via the Internet or the cellular network (GSM/GPRS/3G) to the cloud-based Netbiter Argos data center. With this technology, users can keep track of exact levels in the tanks at any time, see if levels are increasing or decreasing, get alarms whenever certain thresholds are reached and streamline the service operations by refilling/emptying only when needed.

Storage Tank Market Analysis

Based on product type, the aboveground storage tanks segment dominated approximately 44% of the market share in 2023, as these tanks are favored for their ease of installation, cost-effectiveness, and lower environmental risks compared to their underground counterparts. The visibility and accessibility of aboveground tanks simplify inspection, maintenance, and monitoring processes, allowing for increased operational efficiency. This segment is poised to showcase more than 5.4% CAGR through 2032, owing to the flexibility in design and scalability of aboveground tanks that makes them suitable for industries including oil & gas, chemicals, and water treatment.

Based on material, the stainless steel segment exceeded USD 8.6 billion in 2023. The segment growth can be attributed to stainless steel’s qualities such as corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of maintenance which makes it ideal for storing corrosive substances and ensuring a longer operational lifespan. The segment is anticipated to record 5.5% CAGR up to 2032, as industries with stringent quality and hygiene standards, including pharmaceuticals and food processing, also prefer stainless steel due to its non-reactive properties.  

The medium tanks (50,000 – 250,000 gallons) segment held approximately 44% of the storage tank market share in 2023, owing to the versatility of medium-sized tanks to strike a balance between accommodating substantial storage requirements and offering cost-effective solutions. Medium tanks are favored for their adaptability to diverse applications, which makes them a popular choice across industries such as petrochemicals, water treatment, and manufacturing.
