Tank Insulation Market By Material Type (Polyurethane, Fiberglass, Rockwool, Elastomeric Foam, Expanded Polystyrene, Others), By Temperature (Cold Insulation, Hot Insulation), By End-use (Chemical, Oil and Gas, Food and Beverages, Energy and Power, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031
The global tank insulation market was valued at $5.3 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $9.0 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2022 to 2031.
Tank insulation is a material or blend of materials that are used to add a protective cover to industrial tanks and cut the heat loss or heat gain from tank surfaces that are operating at temperatures above or below the surrounding temperature.
The growth of the global tank insulation market is driven by increase in use of fiberglass tank insulation material. Fiberglass is preferred mostly for insulation of larger diameter tank. Moreover, it can be used for insulation of curved or irregular tank surfaces. High compression strength and rigidity of fiberglass makes it viable to be used for insulation of tanks and tank accessories such as ducts and pipes. Fiberglass insulation is cost-effective and effective tank insulation material owing to its compression strength. In addition, it helps effectively to stop the outflow of heat or cold from the tank surface, consequential in improved energy efficiency drives the demand for fiberglass tank insulation. In addition, cryogenic tank insulation is extremely important in order to prevent heat loss. Fiberglass being an effective solution makes it viable to be used for insulation of cryogenic tanks is another considerable factor driving the demand of the global market. Fiberglass is considered as an effective tank insulation material making it widely opted material for insulation of tanks used across commercial industries. In addition, in some industries such as oil & gas and chemical industry handling ammonia requires proper insulation material. Fiberglass being effective solution makes it suitable be used for insulation of tanks that generally deals with hazardous chemicals. All these factors collectively drive the demand for global market and anticipated to offer new growth opportunities in the forecast period. Coupled with versatility and longevity of fiberglass tends to make it suitable tank insulation products across niche industrial insulation applications.
However, risk associated with use of tank insulation products in interior tank systems is expected to hamper the market growth. For instance, the capillary active insulation system (type of tank insulation) is widely preferred for tank insulation in the oil and gas, chemical, and food industries. This tank insulation system is used mostly for thermal insulation of storage tanks and mixing tanks. However, the interstitial condensation risk associated with tank insulation systems is anticipated to hamper the market growth.
Conversely, polyurethane is used widely for insulation of transportable tanks including tanks for transporting liquid CO2 gas. Usually, polyurethane tank insulation is used in combination with vapor screen and plate finishes that further improvise insulation characteristics. Polyurethane tank insulation is easy to install and can be installed on existing tank insulation. Cryogenic tanks that are generally installed on transport vehicles need insulation products that are light weight. Polyurethane being lightweight tend to minimize the fuel costs in transport. Polyurethane insulation properties are superior as considered with other insulation materials. In addition, polyurethane insulation is suitable for use with various tank surfaces such as pre-coated tanks, aluminum storage tanks, stainless steel tanks, and fiber reinforced polymer tanks. In addition, rigid polyurethane foam is considered as an optimal insulation material across diverse tank insulation application. Moreover, production process of polyurethane insulation material makes it viable to be used with different tank surfaces that in turn offer effective insulation performance. Vertical thermal tanks are mainly used to store milk, whey and other products. Thus, polyurethane is a widely used insulating material used on vertical tanks is another considerable factor anticipated to offer new opportunities in the forecast period.
