The global vertical storage tank market size is projected to reach USD 4.88 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is witnessing strong growth driven by rising demand across industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, water treatment, agriculture, and food & beverages. As global energy demand surges and industrial expansion accelerates, vertical storage tanks are increasingly vital for safely and efficiently storing liquids and chemicals under strict regulatory compliance. These tanks are particularly crucial in environments that require high-capacity, corrosion-resistant, and space-efficient storage solutions.
The growing focus on safety standards and environmental regulations pushes companies to adopt tanks that meet API 650, API 620, and API 12F standards. Modern vertical storage tanks are engineered using advanced materials such as fiberglass and stainless steel, offering enhanced durability, reduced maintenance, and improved longevity. These tanks are also integrated with smart monitoring systems using IoT technology to track liquid levels, temperature, and structural health in real time, improving operational efficiency and safety.
Refined product storage holds the largest share in the vertical storage tank application segment, driven by increasing fuel storage needs across the midstream oil & gas sector and growing demand from transportation and logistics industries. These tanks offer a scalable and safe way to store gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other refined products. The segment is expected to maintain steady growth with the rise in downstream refining capacity and bulk fuel distribution. Meanwhile, crude oil and chemical storage applications are expanding as upstream and processing facilities require reliable containment systems for volatile or hazardous materials.
The market is further driven by the midstream segment, which accounts for the largest share by end use, due to the growing need for interim storage and distribution of oil, gas, and refined products. As pipeline infrastructure expands and transportation networks modernize, the demand for robust vertical tank systems grows. Downstream facilities also invest in advanced storage solutions to support refining and blending operations, while upstream applications require tank systems for drilling fluids and crude reserves.
Overall, the market is supported by rising infrastructure investments, stricter environmental and safety requirements, and innovations in materials and tank design. Industries increasingly recognize the importance of compliant and efficient storage systems that meet operational needs and align with sustainability goals. As demand for secure, scalable storage rises, vertical storage tanks are poised to play a critical role across energy, chemical, and industrial supply chains.
