The tank insulation market size is projected to reach USD 6.5 billion by 2023 from USD 5.2 billion, at a CAGR of 4.50% between 2018 and 2023. Tank insulation helps in energy conservation and enables to control the process temperature in storage and transportation tanks. Tank insulation uses high performance insulation materials such as cellular glass, polyurethane, polyisocyanurate, EPS, fibeeglass, rockwool, and others to achieve the required thermal conductivity at various temperatures. It is widely used in transportation and storage of oil & gases and chemicals.  The tank insulation market is mainly driven by the growth in various process industries such as pharmaceuticals, food& beverage processing, oil & gas and chemicals.

Based on material, the tank insulation market has been segmented into PU & PIR, rockwool, fiberglass, elastomeric foam, EPS, cellular glass, and others. The PU & PIR segment is estimated to grow at the second-highest CAGR and accounted for the largest share, in terms of value, of the overall tank insulation market. The dominance of the PU & PIR segment is expected to continue during the forecast period due to its increasing use in the oil & gas industry. PU & PIR are majorly used in storage & transportation facilities of LNG, LPG, ethylene, ammonia/ fertilizer, and underground oil ducts, where extremely low temperatures are required. Furthermore, these are also used in cold stores and food processing plants.

Based on type, the tank insulation market has been segmented into storage tank insulation and transportation tank insulation.  The storage tank segment accounted for the largest share and is the fastest growing type. The dominance of the storage tank insulation segment is expected to continue during the forecast period due to its increasing demand from end-use industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, and energy & power for the storage of chemicals, LNG, thermal energy, and other gases.

Based on end-use industry, the tank insulation market has been segmented into oil & gas energy & power, chemicals, food & beverage, and others. The market in the chemical end-use industry segment is estimated to grow at the highest rate, in terms of value, during the forecast period. This high growth is owed to the increasing chemical production facilities and capacities across the globe.

APAC is estimated to be the fastest-growing market for tank insulation during the forecast period, in terms of value. Rising demand for chemicals, increasing investment in the energy sector, urbanization, industrialization, and infrastructural development are expected to drive the global tank insulation market during the forecast period. In addition, huge oil production in Russia drives the demand for tank insulation materials that are used to insulate tanks in oil plants. For instance, Armacell acquired De Xu, a Chinese manufacturer of elastomeric insulation foams. This is expected to help the company strengthen its position in the tank insulation market and the company’s market position in APAC region.
