An FRP (Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic) tank constitutes a composite product crafted from a blend of fiberglass reinforcement and a polymer matrix. These tanks find utility in storing gases or fluids that do not exhibit corrosive properties towards FRP.
The primary resin types employed in FRP tanks encompass polyester, epoxy, and others. Polyester serves as a high-performance material in FRP tanks, offering the flexibility to customize the tank's capacity based on required water volume and available space. Various fiber types, including carbon fiber and fiberglass, are utilized in the manufacturing of these tanks, catering to diverse applications such as water/wastewater management, septic systems, pulp and paper industry, chemical handling, petroleum storage, agricultural uses, aquaculture, and more.

The FRP tank market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.47 billion in 2024 to $2.62 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to corrosion resistance needs, regulatory compliance, cost-effectiveness, expansion of chemical processing industries, water and wastewater treatment, urbanization, and population growth.
The FRP tank market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.37 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of desalination plants, government investments in infrastructure, stringent environmental regulations, focus on chemical resistance, awareness of long-term cost benefits. Major trends in the forecast period include customization and tailored solutions, innovation in resin technologies, customization and design flexibility, advancements in manufacturing processes, maintenance-free and long lifespan, integration of smart technologies.
The increasing demand for oil and gas storage systems is anticipated to drive the growth of FRP tanks in the future. Oil and gas storage refers to tanks or terminals utilized for storing generated oil and gas, whether above or below ground. In the oil and gas industry, FRP tanks are employed to bulk-contain fluids at various stages of the refining process. These tanks are often used to hold products for a short duration before they are shipped for further processing. For example, in June 2023, data published by the Energy Information Administration, a US-based federal statistical and analytical agency, indicated that global oil demand is projected to increase by 6% from 2022 to 2028, reaching 105.7 million barrels per day. Additionally, global upstream investments in oil and gas exploration, extraction, and production are expected to rise by 11% year-on-year, reaching a record USD 528 billion in 2023. Thus, the growing demand for oil and gas storage systems is fueling the expansion of the FRP tank market.
The anticipated growth in fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks is expected to be propelled by rapid industrialization. Industrialization, characterized by the transition from agrarian and handicraft-based economies to those dominated by industry and mechanized production, leads to an increased demand for storage solutions across various sectors, including chemicals, petrochemicals, water and wastewater treatment, and oil and gas. FRP tanks serve as effective storage vessels for a diverse range of liquids, chemicals, and industrial fluids. For instance, as reported by Trading Economics in 2022, industrial production in the United States saw an annual climb of 0.2% in April 2023. Therefore, the rapid pace of industrialization is anticipated to drive the growth of the FRP tank market.
Product innovation emerges as a significant trend in the FRP tank market, with major companies actively developing innovative solutions to bolster their market positions. In August 2023, OPW, a US-based company specializing in precision-engineered solutions for the safe handling, storage, and transport of cryogenic and industrial gases and liquids, introduced the TSE Tank Sump. Utilizing the Sheet-Molded Compound (SMC) manufacturing process, this innovative product ensures high quality, rapid delivery, and excellent value. Designed for fuel retailers seeking a straightforward secondary container, the TSE Tank Sump features consistently thick and smooth walls, providing a secure and watertight seal. Its smooth sides enhance bonding to entry fittings, preventing leaks and resisting deflection. With two mounting designs (collar-ring and solid-bottom) and available seal kits, installation and maintenance are simplified, offering retail-fueling operators a hassle-free and reliable storage solution.
