North America Oil Storage Market Overview:
The North America oil storage market was valued at $667 million in 2016, and is projected to reach $931 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2017 to 2023. In terms of volume, the market accounted for 54,154 thousand CBM in 2016, and is projected to reach 73,633 thousand CBM in 2023, registering a CAGR of 4.4% from 2017 to 2023. Oil storage is a trade where vertically integrated companies purchase oil for immediate delivery and store until the price of oil increases. Moreover, this storage can be for a short span of time as the oil could be transported for refinement process. The crude oil and natural gas are the naturally occurring petroleum resources, and are known as refinery feedstocks, which require appropriate storage. Petroleum products are transported to the storage facilities from oilfields and then to the refineries.
Market dynamics
The growth of the North America oil storage market is majorly driven by reduction in crude oil prices. Other factors boosting the market growth include increase in need for mega refining hub, high degree of product containment, and rise in import facilities in North America. However, factors such as decline in production & exploration activities and rise in inventory cost restrain the market growth. Conversely, the development of the strategic petroleum reserves segment and increase in oil demand are expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market.

Analyst Review
Oil storage is used for safe storage of various crude oil products. These products are naturally occurring crude oil and petroleum resources, and are known as refinery feedstocks. Increase in oil production across North America has encouraged suppliers to develop storage infrastructure and enhance their inventories for oil storage. Oil storage offers protection from short-time supply fluctuations of crude oil and its derivatives. Generally, the storage of oil is temporary, as the oil needs to be transported to other places for further refinement.
Upsurge in demand for oil products is the major factor that drives the North America oil storage market. In addition, the development of strategic petroleum reserves, introduction of secondary containment, and increase in number of import export facilities significantly contribute towards the market growth. However, factors such as rise in inventory cost and decline in production & exploration costs are expected to impede the growth of the market.
Mexico is expected to register the highest CAGR from 2017 to 2023. U.S. market dominated the North America oil storage market in 2016, as it witnessed highest demand for oil storage, owing to the presence of large oil reserves and major export destinations such as Gulf Coast. In addition, the introduction to newer refineries propelled the demand for oil products, which in turn accelerated the market growth.
