U.S.
Fiberglass Tanks Market: Introduction
The fiberglass tanks
market in the U.S. was valued at ~US$ 400 Mn
in 2020 and
is expected to exceed US$ 600 Mn by 2031,
expanding at a CAGR of ~5% during the
forecast period of 2021 to 2031.
Fiberglass is a reinforced plastic material composed of glass fibers embedded
in a resin matrix. It is lightweight, strong, and less brittle. Fiberglass has
the ability to be molded into various complex shapes. Fiberglass tanks possess
the structural strength to withstand conditions such as internal pressure or
vacuum, hydrostatic loads, seismic loads (including fluid sloshing), wind
loads, regeneration hydrostatic loads, and even snow loads.
Fiberglass
tanks are used in various commercial and industrial applications, including
chemical, water & wastewater, food & beverages, mining & metals,
power, energy, and high-purity applications. Fiberglass tanks offer a complete
solution for highly corrosive fluids at different temperatures, and adverse
weather and soil conditions. FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics) tanks are
primarily used in water/wastewater and oil & gas applications. In oil &
gas, the strength-to-weight ratio of fiberglass outperforms steel, as the former
offers the same strength as steel with greater flexibility and corrosion
resistance.
Fiberglass
tanks are widely used in liquid storage applications for specific end-use
purposes due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to
corrosion. Flexibility, ease of installation, and ability to withstand heat and
harsh weather conditions make fiberglass tanks an ideal choice for chemicals,
wastewater, and fuels.

Key Drivers of U.S. Fiberglass
Tanks Market
The
increase in the demand for fiberglass tanks in water/wastewater and oil &
gas industries is expected to boost the fiberglass tanks market in the U.S.
during the forecast period. Aging infrastructure and significant capital
investment are some of the major drivers of the fiberglass tanks market in the
U.S. The rise in the demand for more reliable, flexible, and low maintenance
fiberglass tanks is driving the fiberglass tanks market in the U.S. Major
retail fuel marketers as well as many small marketers in North America are
shifting to non-corrosive fiberglass tanks in order to avoid internal and
external corrosion.
Another
trend adding to the substitution of aging single wall tanks and growth of
double-wall fiberglass tanks in commercial marketplace is the impact of private
insurance to meet the necessary regulatory requirements for tank owner’s
financial responsibility. The Federal law requires that tank owners prove that
they have sufficient financial resources to cover site cleanup, environmental
damage, and third-party compensation in the event of product release into the
environment. Insurance companies are hesitant to renew policies for aging
tanks, and those that do frequently charge high expense rate, making it cost
restrictive for many tank owners.
More Trending Reports
The usage
of fiberglass tanks is increasing in water/wastewater and oil & gas
applications, owing to their strength-to-water ratio and resistance to rust and
corrosion. New requirements such as ease of installation, durability, and
alternative products for fuel storage have further propelled the demand for
fiberglass tanks. Fiberglass tanks are specifically designed for these and
numerous other demanding applications and product requirements. Fiberglass oil
tanks are gaining popularity for oil storage.

High Cost of U.S. Fiberglass Tanks to Hamper
U.S. Fiberglass Tanks Market
The high
cost of manufacturing fiberglass tanks is projected to hamper the fiberglass
tanks market in the U.S. Fiberglass tanks are manufactured using rotating
cylindrical steel molds. The application of resin, glass, and specially treated
silica further increases the cost of fiberglass tanks. This increases the
overall production cost of fiberglass tanks, thereby hampering the fiberglass
tanks market in the U.S.
Fiberglass
tanks are expensive compared to other tanks and are subject to price
fluctuations depending on prices of raw materials involved. Major players
operating in the fiberglass tanks market in the U.S. have patented
technologies for developing fiberglass tanks. This acts as a barrier to the
entry of new manufacturers in the fiberglass tanks market in the U.S.
Fiberglass tanks possess excellent properties; however, their high cost is
likely to restrain the fiberglass tanks market in the U.S. during the forecast
period.
