Water tanks are containers used to store liquid. These are used to store potable water, rain water, water for irrigation, water for construction, water for livestock, water for indoor house use, and others. Water tanks used at home or at institutional use are generally made of polyethylene, steel, or fiber glass. They come in various shapes and sizes ranging from 200 liters up to more than 10,000 liters. The plastic or the polyethylene water tank is the most widely used water tank all around the world owing to easy availability and installation process.
Water tank is included in the category of products that is considered a onetime purchase for a number of consumers. Hence, the demand for such products is low among consumers. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has significantly affected the growth of the market worldwide. There has been slight decrease in the sales of water tanks due to the disruption of the supply chain and production during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The growth of the water tank market is attributed to the growth in need for potable water all around the world due to the surge in population. Water tank is a necessary item in households and in institutional applications to keep the supply of water constant throughout the day. Application of water tanks in areas such as construction, agriculture, and aquaculture has led to consistent sale of water tanks all around the world and hence has made way for the growth of water tanks industry. However, issue of water safety in plastic water tanks remains the major restraint for the global market as most plastic tanks are known to alter the properties of water they store. On the contrary, rise in use of water tanks for underground water storage for conservation and growing demand for portable water tanks is expected to provide opportunities for the global water tank market growth.
The water tank market is segmented into type, application, location, and region. The type segment includes steel, plastic, and fiberglass. On the basis of application, the market is divided into household and institutional. By location, the water tank market is classified into underground, outdoor and indoor. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America (the U.S., Mexico, and Canada), Europe (Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, Indonesia, Australia, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, Argentina, South Africa and Rest of LAMEA).
