The collapsible fuel tank market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.56 billion in 2024 to $1.71 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased demand for portable fuel storage solutions, growth inThe automotive and motorsports industry, adoption of collapsible fuel tanks in emergency response and disaster relief, advances in material technology for durable and flexible fuel tank designs, expansion of The aviation industry.
The collapsible fuel tank market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.53 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in the marine industry, increasing adoption of collapsible fuel tanks in off-road and recreational vehicles, expansion of the renewable energy sector, adoption of collapsible fuel tanks in remote and off-grid power generation, surge in demand for collapsible fuel tanks in the aerospace sector. Major trends in the forecast period include development of lightweight and space-saving collapsible fuel tank designs, integration of smart technologies for fuel level monitoring and management, emphasis on eco-friendly and recyclable materials in collapsible fuel tank production, customization of collapsible fuel tanks for specific industry requirements, collaboration between fuel tank manufacturers and end-users.
The growing demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the expansion of the collapsible fuel tank market in the future. Electric vehicles, which use electricity to enhance vehicle efficiency, require fuel tanks for extended-range models that can withstand high vapor pressures, optimizing the vehicle's full electric driving mode. As a result, the increasing demand for electric vehicles also boosts the demand for collapsible fuel tanks. For instance, in 2024, the International Energy Agency reported that electric car sales in 2023 increased by 3.5 million compared to 2022, representing a 35% year-on-year rise. In 2023, electric vehicles accounted for about 18% of total car sales, up from 14% the previous year. Therefore, the rising demand for electric vehicles is fueling growth in the collapsible fuel tank market.
The increasing adoption of alternative fuels is expected to propel the growth of the collapsible fuel tank market going forward. Alternative fuels refer to any non-traditional or unconventional sources of energy that can be used to power vehicles, machinery, or other energy-consuming applications. Collapsible fuel tanks can serve as portable and flexible storage options for these alternative fuels. These tanks can be deployed in various locations to store and transport alternative fuels efficiently. For instance, in September 2023, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based agency, overall biofuel production capacity, which includes renewable diesel, biodiesel, ethanol, and other biofuels, reached 23 billion gallons per year (gal/y) in January 2023, a 6% increase in total production capacity from January 2022. Fuel ethanol accounted for 78% of U. S. biofuel production capacity, renewable diesel and other biofuels accounted for 13%, and biodiesel accounted for 9%. Therefore, the increasing production of alternative fuels is expected to propel the growth of the collapsed fuel tank market going forward.
