Gas Carrier and Storage Composite Pressure Vessels Market Growth Analysis

Market Highlights

The Gas Carrier and Storage Composite Pressure Vessels Market size was valued at US$ 174.1 Million in 2026, at a CAGR of 6.0%.

Gas carrier and storage composite pressure vessels include type-II, type-III, and type-IV pressure vessels used for transportation of gaseous energy fuels in bulk form to temporary or permanent sites which don’t have access to pipelines. Though type-I is a proven technology with the lowest purchasing price, they possess a very low payload capacity. On the other hand, Type-IV pressure vessels are apt for carrying a large volume of gaseous fuel due to their high payload. Compared to Type-I, composite pressure vessels can transport around 80% more gas at a much lower vehicle weight.

Various gaseous fuels, such as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), and hydrogen, are being transported using these pressure vessels. These pressure vessels are used in a number of end-use applications, such as the oil & gas industry, power generation, the creation of gas islands, vehicle refueling stations, and agriculture. Oil & gas is one of the dominant end-use industries for these pressure vessels.

The market of gas carrier & storage composite pressure vessels witnessed a plunge in both, 2019 and 2020. The downfall can be attributed to the reduction in the oil & gas activities and decreased USA’s oil & gas rig counts. However, with the recovery in the oil & gas industry, the market for gas carrier & storage composite pressure vessels is expected to pick up. As per Baker Hughes estimates, the USA oil & gas rig count has increased by 76% in November 2021, compared to November 2020 figures. Based on past years’ trends and interviews with the industry experts.

Segment Analysis

This report studies the market covering a period of 12 years of trend and forecast. The report provides detailed insights into the market dynamics to enable informed business decision-making and growth strategy formulation based on the opportunities present in the market.

The gas carrier and storage composite pressure vessels market is segmented into the following categories-

By Pressure Vessel Type

• Type-II Pressure Vessels
• Type-III Pressure Vessels
• Type-IV Pressure Vessels

By Fuel Type

• CNG
• LNG
• RNG
• Hydrogen
• Others

By Region

• North America (Country Analysis: USA, Canada, and Mexico)
• Europe (Country Analysis: Germany, the UK, Scandinavia, Russia and Rest of Europe)
• Asia-Pacific (Country Analysis: China, Japan, Australia, and Rest of Asia-Pacific)
• Rest of the World (Country Analysis: Argentina, Brazil, and Others)

Pressure Vessel Trends

The gas carrier and storage composite pressure vessels market is segmented as type II, type III, and type IV. Despite witnessing a massive decline in 2020. Type-IV pressure vessel ruled the market in 2020 and is expected to grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period. Type-IV pressure vessels offer several advantages over other pressure vessel types, such as the lowest weight, minimal operating costs, excellent fatigue resistance, and high payload capacity.

Fuel Trends

The market is segmented into CNG, LNG, RNG, hydrogen, and others (industrial gases, such as helium and nitrogen). Composite CNG pressure vessels led the market in 2020 and are likely to maintain their throne over the next five years as well. However, hydrogen would create enormous growth opportunities for pressure vessel manufacturers in the coming years, driven by huge investments made by governments towards clean energy, growth in the FCEV production, and development of hydrogen refueling infrastructure in countries like California, Japan, and South Korea.

Regional Analysis

All the regions marked a colossal decline of more than 30% in 2020, with Asia-Pacific being the least-impacted one. North America dominated the market in 2020, owing to its huge oil & gas production. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing gas carrier and storage composite pressure vessels market during the forecast period with China being a major contributor due to its rapid industrialization rate.
