On the basis of type, the self-supporting segment is expected to be the most significant contributor in the LNG storage tank market during the forecast period.
Based on type, the self-supporting segment is expected to account for the larger share of the market in 2020. The growth in this segment is attributed to growing trade of LNG, and growing demand for LNG in the energy and power end-use industries. Furthermore, the growing transportation of LNG on ships in expected to drive the demand during the forecast period.
By material, the steel segment is expected to be the most significant contributor in the LNG storage tank market during the forecast period.
Based on the material, the steel segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market in 2020. The growth in this segment is attributed to its excellent properties, such as durability, resistance to corrosion, excellent toughness, and low thermal conductivity at cryogenic temperatures. Furthermore, steel is used for applications requiring refrigeration or the creation of low-temperature conditions for the storage of liquefied natural gas. These factors are expected to drive the demand during the forecast period.
APAC is expected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period
APAC is the largest and fastest-growing LNG storage tank market, owing to its increasing usage in various end-use industries, such as steel, power, and energy. Furthermore, increasing investments in the LNG bunkering facilities and increase in regasification of LNG will also drive the market in this region during the forecast period. Moreover, countries such as China and India, have been scaling up the size of their manufacturing sectors. These factors are expected to fuel the demand for LNG storage tanks in the region during the forecast period.
