The automotive natural gas vehicle market remains in its infant stage, despite sales growth in the last three to four years. The automotive natural gas vehicle market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% between 2022 and 2032.

The automotive natural gas vehicle market is growing in many countries due to low-cost CNG and LNG and higher diesel prices. Commercial vehicles’ conversion options make them appealing in terms of lowering operating costs and the overall cost of ownership. The low conversion cost and the possibility of significant emission reductions may increase the global penetration of alternative fuels.

Pioneering Forces Driving Automotive Natural Gas Vehicle Market Growth

Because it is more readily available, produces fewer emissions from moving vehicles, and has lower costs than conventional fuels like gasoline and diesel, natural gas is becoming more and more common as an alternative fuel.

Players are encouraged to use Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) trucks to route their activities due to the rising demand for automotive natural gas vehicles in the transportation sector. Vehicles powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) are increasingly in demand in the transit sector. The market for automotive natural gas vehicles (NGVs) is also anticipated to increase in the near future due to rising government initiatives to build natural gas distribution infrastructure.

The growing demand for automotive natural gas vehicles in transportation encourages players to use Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) trucks to route their operations. The transportation industry is seeing a surge in demand for LNG vehicles. Furthermore, rising government initiatives to develop natural gas distribution infrastructure is expected to boost demand for automotive natural gas vehicles (NGVs) in the near future.

Automotive Natural Gas Vehicle Industry’s Obstacles

Electric vehicles are gaining popularity in Europe and Asia-Pacific, posing a significant challenge to the automotive natural gas vehicle market expansion in these regions.

Due to their low operating and maintenance costs, electric vehicles help to shift consumer focus away from natural gas-powered vehicles and toward electric vehicles. This is now a significant impediment to the automotive natural gas vehicle market. The disruption in the mining and supply chain of natural gas caused by social issues such as riots and war in reserve lands creates a barrier to the automotive natural gas vehicle market growth.

Key Takeaways:

The Asia Pacific region accounted for more than 55% of the automotive natural gas vehicle market and is expected to maintain its lead with a significant CAGR.
China accounted for nearly a quarter of APAC passenger car sales.
The European automotive natural gas vehicle market is expected to grow throughout the forecast period.
Natural gas is abundant in the United States, and the country is the world’s lowest-cost producer.
