Growth Opportunities for Composite CNG Tanks in Global : Trend, Forecast, and Competitive Analysis Published: February 2014 Lucintel, the premier global management consulting and market research firm creates your equation for growth whether you need to understand market dynamics, identify new opportunities, or increase your profitability.
Background: Growth in the natural gas vehicles has driven the composite CNG tanks in the automotive industry. Composite CNG tanks are lightweight which results into fuel efficiency of the vehicles which drive the market. Europe has been the top region in terms of total CNG tanks demand whereas ROW saw the highest growth rate due to rapidly increasing demand for alternative fuel powered vehicles and small base phenomena. Total worldwide composite CNG tanks market is expected to reach $524 million by 2019 with a double digit growth over the next five years. Heavy duty vehicle is expected to generate huge demand for composite CNG tanks as fleet operators are switching towards CNG powered vehicles to reduce the operating cost. Significant growth in demand for type-iv tank is expected due to the high pressure requirement to store an increasingly greater volume of gas, which also reduces the overall cost of transportation for fleet operators. Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has conducted a detailed analysis on this market and presents its findings in Growth Opportunities for Composite CNG Tanks in Global : Trend, Forecast, and Competitive Analysis. The report analyses the composite CNG tanks market for all the four regions and analyses the risk factors and growth opportunities. The composite CNG tanks market is segmented by region (NA, Europe, APAC, and ROW), type of tanks (Type-II, Type-III, and Type-IV), by applications (Light-duty and Heavy-duty vehicles), and composites consumption by fiber type (carbon and glass fiber). Demand for natural gas vehicles is increasing as most of the countries are focusing on reduction of carbon emission which is driving the use of natural gas vehicles which subsequently drives the composite CNG tanks market. Composite CNG tanks are much lighter than their conventional counterparts, resulting in weight savings and more fuel storage capacity, while providing an additional improvement in fuel economy of vehicles. Low-cost natural gas as compared to gasoline and diesel is driving the demand of natural gas vehicles which drive the CNG tanks market. In terms of regional market, North America is expected to remain a preferred destination for global giants owing to the development of new NGV vehicles, backed by huge natural gas exploration activities that are likely to increase the demand for CNG tanks. Lucintel highlights key challenges faced by the composite CNG tanks market. Limited refuelling station is still a major challenge for the fleet operators and need to be addressed with the increasing number of vehicles. Composite CNG tanks market is influenced by factors such as safety standards, prices of carbon fiber, and higher cost when compared to traditional steel tanks.
