Analysts’ Viewpoint on Compressed Natural Gas Market Scenario

The increasing prices of transportation fuels such as gasoline and diesel is responsible for the rising demand for low cost, low emissive compressed natural gas. This factor is expected to propel the global compressed natural gas market. In order to minimize carbon emissions across the globe, governments of developing countries are taking initiatives to promote the compressed natural gas or CNG. In addition, incentive-based polices are also being introduced for the rapid adoption of CNG. Rising population, urbanization, growth of the automobile industry, and increasing awareness about carbon emission are some of the factors driving the Asia Pacific compressed natural gas market. However, high initial investment, increase in prices of CNG storage tanks, and limited number of fueling stations are some of the major factors hampering the growth of the global market.

Adoption of Compressed Natural Gas as Transportation Fuel

The rise in the number of CNG powered natural gas vehicles is a major growth driver for the global compressed natural gas market. Compressed natural gas or CNG is obtained through compression of natural gas to less than one percent of the volume it usually occupies at normal environmental conditions. CNG is popularly used as a clean transportation fuel in light duty and heavy-duty vehicles across the globe. The growing applications of CNG is due to lower emissions as compared to gasoline and diesel.

The adoption of CNG as automobile fuel is more likely to create value-grab opportunities for the market players operating on the global compresses natural gas market during the forecast period. The global consumption of CNG directly depends on the number of CNG-powered natural gas vehicles in operation.

Rise in Popularity of Non-associated Gas Sources to Drive Global Market

Of the three primary sources of compressed natural gas: non-associated gas, associated gas, and unconventional gas, the non-associated gas is expected to account for the largest share of the global market during the forecast period. The source for natural gas and CG is assumed to be the same. Some of the factors responsible for the rising adoption of non-associated gas are depleting oil wells and reducing production of crude oil across the globe. Non-associated gas and unconventional gas are expected to be the prominent segments for the CNG production in the upcoming years. The Middle East and Russia are major countries witnessing huge production of compressed natural gas from non-associated gas.

Increase in Number of Light Duty Vehicles Globally

Rapid urbanization, rise in disposable income, and growth and advancement of the automobile industry are contributing to the rising sales of light duty vehicles across the globe. This is a major factor driving the demand for compressed natural gas as a transportation fuel for light duty vehicles. Light duty vehicle is the most lucrative segment of the global compressed natural gas market, exhibiting the highest potential for investment due to rise in the use of compressed natural gas in developing regions across the globe. This is mainly to overcome the air pollution caused by the fossil fuels.

Companies in the global compressed natural gas market are accelerating their product development and unlocking revenue opportunities to obtain competitive benefits. Market stakeholders are extending their services arms to gain competitive edge.

North America to Create Potential Opportunities for Compressed Natural Gas Market Players

North America is expected to account for major share of the global compressed natural gas market in the next few years. This is due to the availability of cheap domestic natural gas in the U.S., which offers high incentives to truck and fleet owners for converting it into CNG. The North America compressed natural gas market is driven by the presence of a large number of natural gas reservoirs. The rising production of shale gas in Latin America is also contributing to the market growth.

The Asia Pacific compressed natural gas market is also expected to exhibit significant growth during the forecast period. The compressed natural gas market in the region is significantly driven by rapid urbanization, increase in the number of low duty vehicles, which use compresses natural gas, and lucrative presence of market players in the region.

Compressed Natural Gas Market: Overview

  • Compressed natural gas (CNG) is obtained through compression of natural gas to less than 1% of the volume it generally occupies at normal atmospheric conditions. Globally, CNG is used primarily as a clean transportation fuel with significantly lower emissions compared to either gasoline or diesel. Of late, the adoption of CNG as the preferred choice of automobile fuel has increased significantly.
  • Global consumption of CNG directly depends upon the number of CNG powered natural gas vehicles in operation. CNG powered natural gas vehicles can be broadly segmented into light duty (LD) vehicles, medium duty/heavy duty (MD/HD) buses, medium duty/heavy duty (MD/HD) trucks, and others.
  • The others segment comprises three-wheeler CNG powered vehicles such as autos and tuk-tuks. These are generally prevalent in Asia Pacific and Latin America. Increase in the number of each of these vehicle segments is likely to determine the growth in CNG consumption in the near future.

Non-associated Gas Source Segment Occupied Key Share of Compressed Natural Gas Market

  • There is no direct source of CNG. Therefore, the source of CNG and natural gas has been assumed to be the same. Currently, there are three primary sources of natural gas: associated gas, non-associated gas, and unconventional gas.
  • The non-associated gas segment occupied the majority of the market, with nearly 90% share in 2020. The associated gas segment is anticipated to exhibit a moderate decline in market share by the end of the forecast period.
  • Gradual slowdown in crude oil production activities and aging of existing oil wells are among the major factors for the decline in market share of the associated gas segment. Non-associated gas and unconventional gas categories are estimated to be the most promising segments for production of CNG in the near future.
  • Large production of CNG from non-associated gas is projected in the Middle East and Russia in the near future. Currently, the U.S. is the only country in the world that has successfully exploited its shale gas reserves. The shale gas boom in the country coupled with declining prices has led to a surplus of natural gas in the domestic market.

LD Vehicles End-user Leads Compressed Natural Gas Market

  • LD vehicles accounted for nearly 93% of the global CNG vehicle fleet, but only 50.2% of the global CNG consumption in 2020. This can be ascribed to large consumption of fuel by medium and heavy-duty vehicles compared to light duty vehicles and passenger cars.
  • Consumption patterns of medium and heavy-duty vehicles are also relatively constant in nature. This has prompted various governments to target conversion of existing bus and truck fleets to CNG. The dynamics of CNG consumption indicate significant variation regionally.
  • The CNG market in Latin America mostly focuses on light duty vehicle consumption, while Asia Pacific exhibits a healthy mix of consumption for all vehicle segments. Dominance of consumption by the light duty vehicle segment can also be observed in Middle East & Africa, where incentives and mandates to support conversion of buses/trucks to CNG are yet to take shape.
  • With surplus of domestic natural gas, North America is likely to emerge as one of the most attractive markets for CNG in the near future. This would especially be driven by the U.S., where availability of cheap domestic natural gas provides attractive incentives to large bus/truck fleet owners to convert to CNG.

Other External Factors in Compressed Natural Gas Market

  • Other external factors such as the expansion of the Panama Canal are also likely to play a major role in adoption of CNG globally. Owners of long haul vehicles are finding it increasingly advantageous to shift to CNG, as a fuel due to the attractive payback period it provides.
  • With China gearing up for commercial shale gas production by the end of 2020, a downward pressure on gas prices in Asia Pacific is expected. This would further be boosted by the completion of expansion of the Panama Canal, resulting in higher export of shale gas to Asia Pacific from the U.S.
  • Gradual decoupling of natural gas and crude oil prices is anticipated to further drive the expansion in consumption. Substitution threats from other clean fuels, such as autogas in the light duty vehicle segment and LNG in the long haul heavy-duty vehicle segment, exist for CNG. However, such threats are not likely to be realized unless there is adequate development of LNG refueling infrastructure and significant reduction in LPG prices globally.
