Automotive Gas Cylinder Market Growth – Trends & Forecast 2023 to 2033

Automotive Gas Cylinder Market: Overview (2023 to 2033)

By end of the 2033, the Automotive Gas Cylinder Market is estimated to be worth USD 2.4 Billion. Automotive Gas cylinders are used for gas storage purposes under desired pressure conditions.

An automotive gas cylinder is a pressure vessel used to store and transport gases, such as compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or hydrogen. Gas-driven vehicles are rising due to economical transportation costs over fossil fuel vehicles. This drives the market growth for gas cylinders in automobiles.

The purpose of an automotive gas cylinder is to provide a safe and convenient way to store fuel gases. Over the years, innovation and the emergence of new technology have resulted in the development of new composite materials, such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, and others, with the goal of overcoming heavy weight and safety issues in the event of an accident.

These innovative safe cylinders are widely used in passenger as well as commercial vehicles, which is anticipated to lead to phenomenal market growth for automotive gas cylinders over the forecast period.

According to FMI, the automotive gas cylinder market is estimated to be valued at USD 1.6 billion in 2023 and is projected to increase at a CAGR of 4.3% in the forecast period from 2023 to 2033.

Market Size 2023	USD 1.6 Billion
Market Size 2033	USD 2.4 Billion
Value CAGR (2023 to 2033)	4.3%

The automotive gas cylinder market has been growing at a healthy CAGR due to increased production and sales of gas cylinder-fitted automobiles, as well as the demand for economical and safe transportation. The automotive gas cylinder market accounts for about 5 to 7 % of its parent market, the automotive Fuel Tank market.

Historic market outlook for the automotive gas cylinder market

The automotive gas cylinder market has witnessed a historic growth rate of 0.9 % from 2017 to 2022.

Over the last few years, the availability of automotive natural gas has been restricted to tier-one cities, limiting market growth for automotive gas cylinders in tire-2 and tire-3 cities.

The United States and Russia are the world's two largest natural gas producers. The COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, the trade war between the United States and China, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine all harmed the natural gas supply, which put the globe in a supply chain crisis, with firms in every industry facing significant hurdles, including automotive gas cylinder industries.

As a result, the price of natural gas fuel increased, which reduced the transportation cost gap between gasoline and natural gas. It negatively affects the demand for automotive gas cylinders.

Favoring high petroleum fuel prices, end-users are favoring alternative-fuel vehicles; as a result, revenue in this market is expected to rise at a healthy CAGR over the forecast period. Furthermore, demand for automotive gas cylinders is expected to rise in tandem with rising commercial vehicle demand.

What are the Various Factors Driving the Global Automotive Gas cylinder Market?

The government's strengthening of rules and regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to address the global warming problem, as well as the demand for cost-effective transportation, are the primary drivers for the automotive gas cylinder market.

Governments and policymakers all over the world have enacted new regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles, forcing end-users to switch to alternative fuels.

The weight of gas cylinder material and safety in a hazardous environment are overcome by innovation. According to the material used in cylinder manufacturing, automotive gas cylinders can add a significant burden to vehicles. The heavy weight of gas cylinders in vehicles can reduce vehicle speed and fuel economy.

Over the past few years, innovation and the emergence of new technology have resulted in the development of new composite materials, such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, and others, which have helped to overcome these challenges and are supporting the growth of the automotive gas cylinder market.

Manufacturers use tough materials to manufacture gas cylinders for automotive use that can withstand dropping, tipping, and excessive heat exposure. They are aiming on developing strong gas cylinders to fulfill a wide range of safety precaution requirements for toxic, fireproof, and corrosive.

High-quality sealants are used in the manufacture of gas cylinders to avoid valve breaks causing cracks in the gas cylinder shell. As a result of these aspects, the market for automotive gas cylinders is expected to rise over the forecast period.

Manufacturers' innovation in gas cylinder technologies for end users is propelling the market for automotive gas cylinder systems forward. The growing automobile market will provide lucrative opportunities for the automotive gas cylinder market.

Which Factors May Hinder the automotive gas cylinder market Growth?

Factors such as the higher initial cost of vehicles that run on CNG are expected to restrain the global automotive gas cylinder materials market over the forecast period. Additionally, hydrogen-run vehicles are still in the development phase.

However, intense competition, the high cost of composite tanks, stringent regulatory approval, and an increase in the use of absorbed natural gas that is stored in solid form are expected to hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The lack of power of gas fuel over gasoline fuel hampered the growth of the gas cylinder market in the heavy-duty commercial automotive segment. Availability of gas, a time-consuming fuel refilling process, and limited gas storage constraints are also considerably affecting the gas cylinder market's growth.

Steel, composite, and other materials are used to make gas cylinders. The record-high prices caused by raw material shortages in the previous year are still having a significant impact on the economy.

The production of gas cylinders and subcomponents generates supply shortages. The changing global socioeconomic landscape, as well as political influence on global trade, are significant factors that are expected to drive up raw material costs and availability, negatively impacting the automotive gas cylinder market.

What is the Regional Analysis of the automotive gas cylinder market?

Europe and North America currently account for a substantial portion of the worldwide automotive gas cylinder market. However, as pollution standards and safety regulations change, South Asia Pacific is anticipated to emerge as a high-demand, high-growth region in the forecast years.

During the forecast period of 2023 to 2033, South Asia Pacific will dominate the global market. The South Asia Pacific region is expected to have the largest market share by 2033. It is anticipated that the South Asia Pacific automotive gas cylinder market will be driven by rising demand for industrial gases and CNG vehicles in the region.

With large fleet sizes of CNG-powered vehicles, South Asia Pacific, and North America are expected to hold significant market shares in the global automotive gas cylinder materials market during the forecast period.
