Agrochemical Tank Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Type (Conical Tanks, Horizontal Tanks, Vertical Tanks and Other Types), Size (200 – 500 liters, 500 -1000 liters, 1000 – 15000 liters, 15000 – 30000 liters and >30,000 liters), Application (Water Storage Tanks, Chemical Storage Tanks, Fertilizer Storage Tanks and Other Applications) and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agrochemical Tank Market is accounted for $1.4 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $2.2 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period. A container made specifically to store and disperse agrochemicals, such as fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, and other agricultural chemicals, is referred to as an agrochemical tank, sprayer tank, or pesticide tank. These tanks are frequently used to apply different chemicals to crops, plants, or soil in gardening, horticulture, and agriculture. For the safe and effective application of agrochemicals, such as fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides, in agricultural activities, these tanks constitute essential equipment.
According to World Economic Forum, the agricultural sector uses 70% of the world’s accessible freshwater. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), agriculture, food, and related industries contributed 5.4% to U.S. gross domestic product and provided 10.5% of U.S. employment in 2021.
Market Dynamics:Driver:Advancements in farming practices
Modern agricultural techniques, such as precision farming and integrated pest management, rely heavily on the precise application of agrochemicals to optimize crop yields while minimizing environmental impact. These practices often require efficient storage solutions to ensure the safe and accurate handling of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. Technological innovations, such as automated spraying systems and variable rate application, further underscore the need for specialized tanks capable of storing and dispensing agrochemicals with precision.
Restraint:Volatility in raw material prices
Fluctuations in the prices of key materials such as steel, plastic resins, and coatings directly impact production costs for tank manufacturers. Since agrochemical tanks require durable materials to withstand harsh agricultural environments and stringent regulatory requirements, any fluctuations in raw material prices can substantially affect manufacturing expenses. However, these cost variations can disrupt profit margins and pricing strategies, making it challenging for manufacturers to maintain competitiveness in the market.
Opportunity:Technological innovations in tank design
Advanced materials technology enables the development of tanks with superior durability, corrosion resistance, and structural integrity, ensuring long-term reliability even in harsh agricultural environments. Innovations in tank construction techniques facilitate the creation of modular, customizable designs that can be tailored to specific user requirements, including capacity, configuration, and application method. Moreover, integration of smart technologies, such as IoT sensors and telemetry systems, enables real-time monitoring of tank conditions, ensuring optimal storage and usage of agrochemicals while minimizing waste and environmental impact.
Threat:Substitution by alternative storage methods
While agrochemical tanks offer efficient and safe storage solutions for fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, some farmers may opt for alternative storage methods such as drums, barrels, or bulk containers due to perceived affordability or accessibility. These alternative methods may seem more convenient or familiar to certain farmers, especially those in regions with limited infrastructure or financial resources. Resistance to change and a preference for traditional storage practices further contribute to the challenge of market penetration for agrochemical tanks.
Covid-19 Impact:
While agriculture was deemed an essential sector in many regions, the pandemic disrupted supply chains, causing logistical challenges and delays in the distribution of agrochemicals and related equipment, including tanks. Lockdown measures and restrictions on movement also hindered agricultural activities, leading to uncertainties and fluctuations in demand for agrochemicals. Additionally, economic uncertainties and reduced disposable incomes among farmers impacted investment decisions, potentially delaying the purchase of new agrochemical tanks or upgrades to existing storage facilities.
The conical tanks segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Conical Tanks segment is poised to hold the largest share over the projection period as it offers unique advantages tailored to the needs of the agricultural sector, particularly in the storage and handling of agrochemicals. Conical tanks are designed with a sloped bottom, allowing for easy drainage and complete evacuation of liquids, which is crucial for preventing chemical residue buildup and contamination. This feature enhances safety and efficiency in agrochemical storage and application processes. The versatility of conical tanks, with options for above-ground or underground installation and various capacities to suit different farm sizes and applications, further contributes to their popularity among farmers and agricultural businesses.
The water storage tanks segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Water Storage Tanks segment is expected to hold profitable growth throughout the estimation period. Water is an indispensable resource in agriculture, vital for irrigation, livestock watering, and various farming operations. With increasing awareness of water scarcity and the importance of efficient water management in agriculture, there has been a growing demand for water storage solutions among farmers and agricultural businesses. Water storage tanks offer a reliable means of storing and managing water resources, allowing farmers to mitigate the impact of droughts, seasonal fluctuations, and unreliable water supplies. Additionally, water storage tanks can also serve dual purposes by facilitating the storage of liquid fertilizers, pesticides, and other agrochemicals, providing farmers with a versatile storage solution for multiple agricultural inputs.
Region with largest share:Because of the region's growing agrochemical consumption, expanding agriculture industry, and rising food demand, the Asia-Pacific region held the largest share of the market during the analysis period. The population and food consumption in the Asia-Pacific region are growing rapidly. The region's agriculture industry is growing in order to fulfill this demand, which is creating a need for agrochemicals like pesticides and fertilizers. The region's need for storage solutions, including agrochemical tanks, is growing as a result of the rising use of these agrochemicals.
Region with highest CAGR:Asia Pacific region is projected to witness profitable growth over the extrapolated period. Some of the largest agricultural economies in the world, such as those of China and India, also reside in the Asia-Pacific region. Due to their significant investments in agriculture, these economies are experiencing a rise in demand for agrochemicals and related storage solutions. Additionally, the Asia-Pacific region is home to some of the world's most cutting-edge agricultural practices and technologies. For instance, precision farming is becoming more and more common in the area, which is driving up demand for agrochemical tanks that are easy to integrate into these systems.
