The market growth is primarily driven by growing demand from sectors like chemicals and petrochemicals, food and beverage and power generation industries where spherical tanks are ideal for bulk storage of liquids and granular materials.

High strength to weight ratio of spherical tanks

Spherical tanks offer significant advantages over conventional cylindrical tanks due to their unique shape. The hemispherical shape of spherical tanks provides greater strength as compared to cylindrical tanks of equivalent size. Moreover, a spherical tank can withstand both internal vacuum and external pressure uniformly due to its design. This high strength to weight ratio allows spherical tanks to use lighter materials like aluminum and stainless steel for their construction. Steel tanks need to be significantly thicker to match this strength.

Lighter construction not only reduces the raw material costs but also the transportation costs of spherical tanks. As spherical tanks can be made with thinner metal, there will be significant reduction in metal quantity. This directly cuts down on shipping expenses since more tanks can be transported in the same vehicle or container. Furthermore, installation of spherical tanks is easier as their lighter weight requires less robust supporting structures. As these are less prone to corrosion due to their seamless designs, maintenance of spherical tanks over their lifespan is also cost-effective.
