"The global CNG tanks market was estimated at USD 2.2 billion in 2020 and is likely to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during 2021-2026 to reach USD 3.5 billion by 2026."
Compressed natural gas is becoming a viable choice for the automotive industry due to rising gasoline and diesel fuel prices and rising environmental concerns. Both tanks, metal as well as composite, are used in CNG vehicles with a huge dominance of metal ones, especially in Asia-Pacific and Europe, the two major markets for CNG tanks.
Composite tanks are lighter than their conventional equivalents (metal CNG tanks), resulting in weight savings, increased fuel storage capability, and improved vehicle fuel economy. The demand for natural gas-powered vehicles is burgeoning worldwide.

The availability of low-cost natural gas compared to gasoline and diesel is accelerating this push. As a result of that, many vehicle operators and owners are transitioning to CNG-powered vehicles to cut their running costs; driving the demand for composite CNG tanks. Furthermore, the growing environmental awareness and government attention on decreasing carbon emissions are giving additional impetus to the demand for composite CNG tanks.
The CNG tanks market recorded a huge plunge of -14.4% in the year 2020, mainly factored by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it is anticipated that the market will start recovering from 2021 onwards with the recovery in the production of automobiles paired with the incessant transition from ICE to CNG-powered vehicles, particularly in the Asian and European markets.
