Moreover, the growing trend for strategic petroleum reserves across several countries is bound to positively influence the industry landscape. The U.S. held the largest share of the North America regional market in 2021. Oil storage is a part of the midstream sector of the oil industry. Growing demand for high storage capacities and rising oil production are the major factors expected to drive the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing government initiatives for the storage of oil to protect the national economy during energy crises and to reduce the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are expected to drive the market growth.

However, high investment and maintenance costsmay hamper the market growth. The oil storage capacity in Canada is significantly lower than that in the U.S. since most of its capacity addition has been introduced in the past few years. Moreover, most of the oil production from Western Canada is exported to the U.S. and stored at mega-terminals.The U.S. market is estimated to witness prominent growth because of the continuous rise in the exploration of unconventional oil & gas resources. The storage facilities are mainly present in the Gulf Coast region as it is a key exporting area for crude oil and houses major refining facilities.Crude oil supply outpaced crude oil demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hence, resulted in an increasing share of oil storage capacity across several countries, thus propelling the market demand over the forecast period. However, stringent regulations associated with oil stockpiling in below and above-ground tank installations are expected to hamper the industry growth.For instance, the Water Environment Regulations 2006 (Scotland) and Control of Pollution Regulations 2001 (England) are some of the key legislations requiring market participants’ adherence in Europe. In addition, storage equipment vendors are investing in advanced technologies used for fabricating steel tanks to prevent any oil leakages during storage.
