최근 발표된 "북아메리카 저류 시스템 시장. 최종 사용, 적용, 원료, 나라별 분류. 추세와 2018년까지의 전망."라는 보고서에 따르면 저류 시스템 시장은 2013년부터 2018년까지 두 자리의 연 평균 성장률을 기록하며 2018년에 54억 달러 규모로 성장할 것으로 예측된다. 위 연구는 저류 기술 시장과 그 추세를 미국, 캐나다, 멕시코; 세 나라를 중심으로, 그리고 지역, 상업, 산업, 주거지용 등의 다양한 적용 분야를 고려하여 분석하고 있다.

저류 시스템 시장은 수자원 모니터링을 포함한 보존, 재활용, 재사용 등의 기술로 이루어져 있다. 누수 방지 및 최소화 그리고 소비 수자원 모니터링은 개선된 저류 탱크 시설을 통해서만 가능한 것으로 알려졌다. 이 때문에 저류 시스템 시장은 현존하는 응용 사례와 다양하게 부상하고 있는 새로운 응용을 통해 수요의 증가를 겪으면서 그 규모가 크게 성장하고 있다.

DALLAS, TEXAS, July 16, 2013 -- According to the report, "North America Water Storage Systems Market, By End Use, Application, Material Type & Country (U.S., Canada, Mexico) - Trends & Forecasts to 2018, "the water storage systems market is expected to grow to $5.45 billion by 2018, with a double digit CAGR from 2013 to 2018. The study covers the water storage market and its trends concerning three countries: the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, as well as its major applications such as municipal, commercial, industrial, and residential.

The water storage systems market is mainly driven by conservation, recycling and reuse of water along with increased monitoring. Water leakage loss minimization and consumption monitoring can only be achieved by using advanced storage tanks which are the prime reason why water storage systems market is experiencing a huge surge in demand from existing and emerging applications.

The enormous potential of this market is attracting various small and big level industry players. The water storage systems market is experiencing a boom especially in U.S., on account of ever tightening laws on water and wastewater storage and collection, and increased spending on modernization and upgradation of water infrastructure in the country. The market is growing at a healthy rate in Canada, and is growing at a much faster pace in the Mexico, due to rising use of water for industrial processes. The market will experience an escalation in the demand of water storage systems in the years to come.

The water storage systems market is highly stratified with most companies offering only a particular kind of system designed for a specific application. Only few big companies such as Caldwell Tanks (U.S.) and CST Industries (U.S.) exist in this market whereas most of the players are very small and have a small area of influence. Most of the companies are focusing mainly on R&D in order to develop new and improved products .The companies have extensively applied expansion (either geographic or capacity expansion) as a growth strategy for this market to increase their market.
