Global Natural Gas Storage Market Size Study & Forecast, by Type (Aboveground, Underground (Depleted Gas Reservoir, Aquifer Reservoir, Salt Caverns)) and Regional Forecasts 2025–2035

The Global Natural Gas Storage Market is valued at approximately USD 0.42 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.13% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2035. As global energy systems transition and energy security becomes a national imperative, natural gas storage has emerged as a cornerstone for buffering demand volatility, enabling supply continuity, and stabilizing energy prices. The increasing reliance on natural gas for electricity generation, heating, and industrial use has driven investments in reliable storage infrastructures that support operational flexibility and economic resilience. From balancing seasonal demand shifts to hedging against geopolitical disruptions, gas storage has become indispensable to the functioning of integrated energy markets.

The upsurge in liquefied natural gas (LNG) trading and intercontinental gas pipelines has further amplified the need for dynamic and scalable storage capacities. Underground storage types—particularly depleted gas reservoirs, aquifers, and salt caverns—have demonstrated technical viability and cost-effectiveness in storing large volumes of gas over extended periods. Meanwhile, aboveground storage tanks play a vital role in terminal operations and short-cycle distribution. Moreover, the integration of digital monitoring, predictive maintenance, and AI-driven optimization is reshaping the landscape by improving asset performance and enhancing real-time decision-making across the storage value chain. The ongoing trend of decarbonization is also prompting hybrid infrastructure developments that combine gas storage with hydrogen and renewable gas solutions, offering long-term growth avenues.

Regionally, North America continues to lead the natural gas storage landscape, driven by extensive pipeline networks, well-developed underground storage infrastructure, and the region’s heavy reliance on gas-powered electricity generation. The United States, in particular, boasts one of the world’s largest working gas capacities, enabling it to swiftly respond to demand peaks during winter and summer seasons. Europe is increasingly investing in gas storage modernization to hedge against geopolitical risks, especially following disruptions in traditional supply routes. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is witnessing growing demand for natural gas reserves due to rapid urbanization, industrialization, and power sector expansion in countries such as China, India, and South Korea. Government mandates, coupled with cross-border energy cooperation and infrastructure funding, are likely to propel APAC's gas storage capacity in the upcoming decade.
