Global CNG Cylinders Market Overview:
With the rising environmental issues such as climatic changes and depleting ozone layer, many nations across the globe have deployed CNG in power production. Global warming which is a major environmental issue because of the increased level of greenhouse gases. These gases occur naturally in the atmosphere and reductions of these gases have been a major concern globally. The rising level of these gases is due to the burning of fossil fuels. CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is a fuel which can be used in place of gasoline, diesel fuel, and propane/LPG. Over the years the wide gap between oil and natural gas has resulted in fuel conversions and has driven the market of CNG cylinders. Countries like China, India, and Pakistan use CNG as an alternative fuel as these countries are dependent on other countries for oil to meet their needs. The CNG usage in place of fossil fuel emits less harmful pollutants, in turn, reduces the concentration of pollutants in the atmosphere. The factors like increasing gasoline and diesel fuel prices, reducing the cost of natural gas, rising environmental concern, and rising demand in Asia-Pacific is making CNG a viable option for the automotive industry.
Growth Drivers
- Increasing number of natural gas vehicles (NGVs)
- Lower prices of natural gas than gasoline and diesel
- Increasing consumer’s environmental awareness.
Market Trends
- Increase in the number of green fleet and development of type V tanks.
Roadblocks
