CNG Tank Market, Till 2035: Distribution by Type of Cylinder Tank, Type of Cylinder Composite, Type of Cylinder Vehicle, Type of Enterprises, and Geographical Regions: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts

The global CNG tank market size is estimated to grow from USD 2.89 billion in the current year to USD 6.41 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 8.30% during the forecast period, till 2035.

CNG Tank Market: Growth and Trends

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), vehicles are responsible for 95% of total CO emissions in urban areas. To address these concerning levels, CNG tanks have become an essential element. These tanks are constructed with a thin-walled metal liner reinforced with glass/epoxy or carbon fiber, offering advanced features such as excellent heat resistance and durability against aging. This technology enables the tanks to handle various pressure levels while ensuring quality and safety. Further, CNG tanks provide advantages like affordable transportation and cleaner fuel, effectively addressing the costly and high greenhouse gas emissions issues that come with conventional gasoline. Additionally, amid stringent government regulations on carbon monoxide emissions, CNG tanks have become a popular option for both vehicle manufacturers and consumers. The non-toxic, non-corrosive, and non-carcinogenic characteristics of CNG, along with environmental policies, are further propelling its usage.

The global market for CNG tanks is projected to experience significant growth in the coming years due to rapid urbanization in developing nations such as China and India. The focus on fleet management and CNG solutions aimed at providing lower and more stable manufacturing and fuel costs has been crucial to the economic impact of adopting natural gas. Furthermore, advancements in CNG tank technology, including the customization of tank size and shape, enable original equipment manufacturers to create more CNG-compatible vehicles. This has become vital for the future of the automotive industry and CNG tanks. Owing to these factors, the CNG tank market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.

CNG Tank Market: Key Segments

Market Share by Type of Cylinder

Based on type of cylinder, the global CNG tank market is segmented into type 1, type 2, type 3 and type 4. According to our estimates, currently, the type 1 segment captures the majority of the market share. This growth is largely due to its cost-effectiveness and long-term storage capability, as they are constructed from a single metal.

However, the type 4 segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is due to its leakproof nature in all circumstances and its excellent resistance to heat and aging. Moreover, the ability to withstand a variety of pressures and its high safety features are significant advantages of type 1 and type 4 CNG tanks.

Market Share by Type of Cylinder Composite

Based on type of cylinder composite, the global CNG tank market is segmented into carbon fiber, glass fiber, metal component, steel or aluminum alloy and others.
