Description

The global CNG Tank (CNG Cylinder) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1372 million in 2025 to US$ 2232 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2025 to 2031.

The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.

A CNG Tank (CNG Cylinder) is a high-pressure vessel used to store and transport compressed natural gas (CNG) safely. It is typically manufactured from high-strength steel, aluminum alloys, or composite materials reinforced with carbon or glass fibers. These containers can withstand working pressures up to 20–25 MPa and are widely used in vehicles, fueling stations, and storage facilities to deliver CNG as a clean energy source.

CNG Tanks (Compressed Natural Gas Cylinders) are critical high-pressure vessels designed to store and transport compressed natural gas for vehicle fuel systems and industrial applications. As natural gas adoption grows in emerging markets, the demand for safe, lightweight, and high-capacity cylinders is steadily expanding.

CNG cylinders are classified by structure and material into four main types:

Type I (All-steel cylinders): Rugged and affordable, widely used in low-cost applications.

Type II (Steel liner with hoop-wound fiberglass): Mid-level weight reduction and cost efficiency.

Type III (Aluminum liner fully wrapped with composite fiber): Significantly lighter and corrosion-resistant, suited for commercial vehicles.

Type IV (Plastic liner fully wrapped with carbon fiber): Ultra-lightweight, best fatigue performance, but the highest cost, used in long-range applications.

In India, Pakistan, Argentina, and parts of China, CNG vehicle fleets have expanded rapidly, supported by fuel savings and emission policies. India has become one of the fastest-growing markets, with double-digit annual growth. In China, the focus is shifting from fleet expansion to replacement cycles, stricter safety standards, and adoption of lighter composite cylinders.

Key trends driving the market include higher working pressures (moving toward 250–300 bar), growing Type III/IV adoption, integration of RFID and smart monitoring sensors, and development of dual-use storage solutions for hydrogen and CNG.

Global leaders like Hexagon Composites, Luxfer, Worthington, and Faber dominate high-end composite cylinder supply, while Chinese producers have scaled production of steel and mid-tier composite types but still rely on imported carbon fiber for advanced Type IV models.
