Global Compressed Natural Gas Cylinders Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Compressed Natural Gas Cylinders market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1235 million in 2025 to US$ 2029 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% 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.

Compressed Natural Gas Cylinders are high-pressure vessels specially designed to store and supply compressed natural gas (CNG) as fuel in vehicles. These cylinders are typically made of high-strength alloy steel, aluminum alloys, or lightweight composite materials such as carbon-fiber-reinforced resin, capable of withstanding working pressures up to 20–25 MPa. They are installed in cars, buses, and commercial vehicles to ensure the safe, reliable, and efficient use of CNG as a clean automotive fuel.

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) cylinders are high-pressure vessels designed to store and transport natural gas for use in vehicles. They are a critical component of CNG vehicle safety and range.

CNG cylinders are classified into four main types:

Type I (All-steel): Durable and cost-effective, still widely used in taxis and public transport.

Type II (Steel liner with hoop-wound glass fiber): Lighter than Type I, with moderate cost advantages.

Type III (Aluminum liner fully wrapped with carbon or glass fiber): Significantly reduced weight and improved corrosion resistance, ideal for light-duty vehicles.

Type IV (Plastic liner fully wrapped with carbon fiber): The lightest and highest performance option, with premium pricing, suited for specialized fleets.

Globally, demand is concentrated in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and parts of the Middle East, driven by fuel cost savings and emission-reduction policies. In China, CNG vehicles grew rapidly over the past decade in taxis and buses, but growth has moderated as LNG and electrification have expanded. Nonetheless, vehicle renewal cycles and tightening safety standards sustain replacement demand.

Lightweight composite cylinders (Type III/IV) are gaining share due to their benefits in range and payload capacity. Companies like Luxfer, Hexagon Composites, Worthington, and Faber lead the global market, while Chinese producers (China National Building Material, CIMC Enric, Tianhai Industry) dominate the steel and mid-tier composite segments. Type IV cylinders still rely heavily on imported carbon fiber, creating a cost and supply chain constraint.

In the future, stricter safety regulations, advances in composite material processing, and integration with hydrogen storage technologies will shape the competitive landscape. Demand for premium CNG cylinders in logistics and mid-sized buses will likely remain stable, even as other fuels grow.
