The oil storage market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over recent years, the size of the oil storage market has consistently expanded. It is projected to grow from a value of $10.31 billion in 2024 to $10.8 billion in 2025, signifying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%.
The growth observed in the historical period stems from the development of emerging markets, an increase in oil and gas exploration investments in developing nations, and a spike in oil and gas exports.
The oil storage market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, a robust growth is anticipated in the oil storage market size, reaching up to $14.03 billion by 2029 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.
Government backing, heightened urbanization, expansion of the petrochemical industry, and an upsurge in consumption of crude oil products are the key driving factors for this projected growth. The emerging trends in the forecast period indicate a focus on the utilization of the Internet of Things (IoT), amplified investments, and product innovations.
The oil storage market is predicted to flourish due to rising demands for crude oil supply. Oil storage facilities play a crucial role in storing important oil products like petroleum and crude oil, which are subsequently distributed to final consumers. This surge in demand for crude oil supply is attributed to the growing consumption of petroleum, oil, and gas products. As the use of oil increases, so too will the demand for crude oil supply, leading to a substantial requirement for oil storage. For instance, reports by the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecast that India's natural gas consumption will reach 25 billion cubic meters by 2024 with a yearly growth rate of 9%. Additionally, the Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) predicts that by 2030, India's oil demand will increase by 50% while global demand will grow by 7%. Consequently, the rising energy of crude oil supply will likely be a significant factor in driving the growth of the oil storage market.

Firms in the oil storage sector are strategically focusing on creating innovative products and new solutions to consolidate their market standing. As an illustration, the Canada-based Axiom Equipment Group, an industrial equipment supplier, introduced the Mega tank fuel storage tank in September 2022, with capacity options of 1000L, 2000L, and 3000L. The Mega tank, which features a double-walled structure with bi-directional forklift pockets and lifting brackets, a detachable inner tank, a significantly large compartment area, and the ability to supply fuel to three equipment pieces concurrently, aims to mitigate downtime risks while improving cost efficiency in operations.
