Global Elevated Water Storage Tanks Market: Overview

Elevated tanks are used to supply water to a larger number of people. These tanks do not require electricity to generate pressure for the continuous operation of pumps. Pressure in these tanks is maintained by gravity. These tanks are strategically located to equalize water pressure in the distribution system. However, in some elevated tanks, maintaining precise pressure is difficult.

Pressure of the water flow, with which water comes out of an elevated tank, depends on the depth of water in the tank. The tank that is nearly empty would probably not provide enough pressure, while the tank that is completely full may provide excessive pressure. The optimal pressure in an elevated tank is attained at a particular depth. Elevated water storage tanks can be of two types: tanks elevated on legs and tanks elevated on a standpipe. A standpipe offers continual and highly unequal pressures, which depends on its length. Additionally, a significant quantity of water is required in a standpipe to produce the subsequent water pressure. The water below a specific level is used only as a support. This water can be distributed with the help of pumps in an emergency situation only. Tanks that are elevated on legs do not have these drawbacks. They generate higher pressure and the pressure is more constant. This makes them a preferred choice over standpipes. Tanks that are elevated on legs are expensive and they are used only where the demand for water is high.

Rise in the demand for elevated water storage tanks in municipal applications and extensive use of these tanks in industrial applications are factors augmenting the elevated water storage tanks market. This is prompting companies to increase production of these tanks. Additionally, increasing rate of urbanization in developing countries is anticipated to drive the global market for elevated water storage tanks during the forecast period.

The global elevated water storage tanks market is witnessing technological advancements. Companies are constantly striving to develop new and better ways to manufacture these tanks. Development of new manufacturing technologies of elevated water storage tanks and applications is estimated to propel the market in the near future. However, volatility in prices of raw materials is projected to hamper the market during the forecast period.

Global Elevated Water Storage Tanks Market: Key Segments
