Global Petroleum Tank Cleaning Market Size Set to Touch USD 1.44 Billion by 2029

Global petroleum tank cleaning market is flourishing because of an increasing focus on health and safety while transporting oil and gas and rising petroleum consumption.

BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the global petroleum tank cleaning market size at USD 1.12 billion in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, BlueWeave expects global petroleum tank cleaning market size to grow at a CAGR of 4.28% reaching a value of USD 1.44 billion by 2029. Major growth drivers for the global petroleum tank cleaning market include increasing refinery activities, surging crude oil consumption, and the continuous expansion of industrialization worldwide. The automotive sectors of major economies, such as China, India, and Indonesia, have demonstrated remarkable growth in recent years. The transportation industry's prospects are closely tied to the expansion of the petroleum sector, given that a significant portion of petroleum products is utilized as fuel for transportation. Also, the thriving petroleum-based industries, including petroleum refining, plastics, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, solvents, and pesticides, have contributed to the growth of the petroleum tank cleaning market. Another driving force for the global petroleum tank cleaning market is the set of benefits it stands to gain from increased refinery activities worldwide, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, offering numerous growth opportunities in the years to come. Refinery output has seen a rise, reaching nearly 81.9 million barrels per day in 2017, compared to around 80.3 million barrels per day in 2016. Also, the Indian government, in collaboration with Saudi Aramco, the world's largest petroleum refinery company, is planning to launch the largest refinery project in Nanar, India, by 2024. This ambitious project aims to deliver an output of 1.2 million barrels per day, further contributing to the dynamic growth of the petroleum industry. However, the high initial cost is anticipated to restrain the overall market growth during the forecast period.

Global Petroleum Tank Cleaning Market – Overview

The global petroleum tank cleaning market refers to the industry that provides cleaning and maintenance services for various types of petroleum storage tanks, including crude oil tanks, fuel storage tanks, and other petrochemical product storage facilities. This market involves specialized companies and service providers that offer tank cleaning solutions to remove sediments, sludge, and impurities that accumulate over time in these storage tanks.
