The market size of FRP tank is projected to reach USD 2.32 Billion by 2021 at a CAGR of 4.73%, between 2016 and 2021. The high demand for lightweight and superior properties of composites and the increasing demand of FRP tanks for heavy vehicles in North America and Europe are the key factors responsible for the growth of the FRP tank market.
The global FRP tank market is segmented into type of resin, type of fiber, application, and region. The FRP tank market by resin type is segmented into polyester, epoxy, and other resins. The epoxy resin FRP tank is expected to grow faster during the forecast period as the epoxy resin-based FRP tanks offer various thermal and mechanical properties, such as resistance to corrosive liquids, excellent electrical insulation, good performance at elevated temperature, lower styrene emission compared to polyester resins, and good adhesion strength to the different varieties of reinforcements.
The FRP tank market by type of fiber is further segment into glass fiber and carbon fiber FRP tanks. Glass fiber FRP tank has the largest market size, in terms of value and volume, owing to the growing demand from applications such as chemicals, oil & gas, water & waste water, pulp & paper, and so on.
The major applications included in the FRP tank market include water & waste water, chemicals, oil & gas, pulp & paper, power, and others. Water & waste water constituted a major portion of the FRP tank market, by value and volume. FRP tanks offer complete solutions against highly corrosive fluids and harsh environment conditions at various temperatures, pressures, and adverse weather and soil conditions, which drive their application in the water & waste water application.
Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market for FRP tank in the next five years. The factor that contributed to its growth is the increasing urbanization and industrialization coupled with the rising disposable income of the population. This has resulted in high demand of consumer goods and services such as power, construction, processed foods, and sanitation (water & waste water treatment), which are the applications of FRP tanks. Thus, these growing application industries would significantly boost the FRP tank market in the Asia-Pacific region.
The FRP tank market size is rapidly growing, in terms of value. However, a few factors act as a tailback in its growth in the FRP Tank market. Lack of product awareness and issues related to high cost of composites are the major restraints in the growth of the FRP tank market.
The companies such as ZCL Composites (Canada), Enduro Composites (U.S.), LF Manufacturing (U.S.), Denali Inc. (U.S.), EPP Composites (India), Hexagon Composite Engineering Sdn Bhd (Malaysia), Composite Technology Development, Inc. (U.S.), Faber Industries (Italy), Luxfer Group (U.K.), and Hexagon Composites ASA (Norway) are the dominant players in the FRP tank market. They have been adopting various organic and inorganic growth strategies such as agreements & joint ventures, new product developments, and acquisitions & expansions to enhance their share in the FRP tank market.
