Global Natural Gas Vehicle Market, By Fuel Type (CNG, LNG), By Vehicle Type (Three Wheeler, Passenger, Light-Duty, Heavy-Duty, Others), By Region (North America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Rest of the World) – Market Size & Forecasting (2016-2025)

The Natural Gas Vehicle Market growth is expected to gain high momentum during the forecast period due to the rise in crude oil prices and low prices of natural gas.

A natural gas automotive vehicle uses either compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) as an alternative to diesel or petrol. In lift trucks, buses, light and heavy-duty trucks, motorcycles, cars, vans and locomotives, natural gas is extensively used. Natural gas offers a cost-effective and environmentally sound alternative over diesel or petrol. Presently, the penetration of automotive natural gas vehicles is less global, but the penetration is anticipated to enhance globally in the future owing to its operational benefits. Governments around the globe have imposed rigorous emission and fuel efficiency regulations. Over the preceding 5-10 years, the global cost of fossil fuel has seen a rising trend. Because of these factors, there is an increasing demand for alternative fuel that is inexpensive and ecofriendly. Original vehicle equipment manufacturers promote their products via the demonstration of fuel efficiency and emission-free attributes. This factor fuels the demand for the market of natural gas vehicles in the automotive sector.

Segment Analysis:

The automotive NGV market was categorized into passenger vehicles, three-wheeler The segment of passenger vehicles dominated the market in 2017. Countries like Thailand, India, and Bangladesh have more three-wheelers in circulation operating on natural gas.

Due to the increased use of LNG in the locomotive and aviation sectors, the LNG segment is capable of recording the biggest growth during the forecast period. Owing to increasing government projects, the CNG segment is expected to dominate the market across the same horizon. With heavy initial expenditures associated with the acceptance of LNG and CNG vehicles, governments and authorities around the globe are launching myriad incentive programs to simplify the adoption process for such vehicles. Incentive programs introduced in the US include the program for Voluntary Airport Low Emission (VALE), the Clean Construction & Clean Agriculture Program of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Improvement Program for Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ).

Increasing progress in North America’s CNG vehicle development is predicted to drive the region’s market. In the US, domestic truck manufacturers and automakers are announcing the latest CNG trucks and cars to be introduced to their assembly lines, which is likely to further stimulate CNG vehicle adoption in the region. During the forecast period, Asia Pacific is projected to emerge as the largest adopter of NGVs due to the growth of natural gas facilities in nations like China, India. Besides, stringent environmental government policies are promoting the growth of the Asia Pacific market. The Middle East is still emergent in this market.
