In this market, automotive and bulk transportation are the major applications. On the basis of comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that the bulk transportation segment will show above average growth during the forecast period. Within the global CNG tank market, the automotive segment is expected to remain the largest market by value and volume. Expected growth in the fleet of alternative fuel powered vehicles is the major driving factor that is likely to spur growth for this segment over the forecast period.

There are 4 types of tank, type I is all metal, type II metal-lined hoop-wrapped, type III metal-lined fully wrapped, and type IV plastic-lined fully wrapped. By type of tank, type I CNG tank is expected to be the largest segment due to its lower cost and higher demand from countries in the APAC and ROW regions which have large NGV fleet.
