天然气汽车全球市场规模、份额和行业趋势分析报告:按车辆类型(乘用车、小型/大型客车和卡车、三轮车)、燃料类型、区域展望和预测,2022-2028 年Global Automotive Natural Gas Vehicle Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Vehicle Type (Passenger Vehicles, Light-duty & Heavy-duty Buses & Trucks and Three-wheelers), By Fuel Type, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 - 2028 |
到 2028 年,全球天然气汽车市场规模预计将达到 143 亿美元,预测期内復合年增长率为 5.9%。
NGV 分为三种类型:专用车、双燃料车和双燃料车。私家车是以天然气为燃料的车辆。双燃料汽车配备两种燃料供应系统,可以使用汽油或天然气。双燃料系统车辆使用天然气和柴油燃料来辅助点火。传统上,这种设计专用于重型卡车。 CNG 汽车将天然气放入容器中,对其加压,使其保持气态。由于LNG是液体,比CNG具有更高的能量密度,可以携带更多的燃料。因此,LNG适用于远程7级和8级卡车。燃料选择通常受车辆应用要求(例如能量要求)和所需里程的驱动。
COVID-19 影响分析
COVID-19 大流行导致全球经济严重衰退,对汽车生产产生不利影响。疫情在关键行业造成政治、社会和经济动盪,一定程度上阻碍了增长。由于对供应链的影响,一些生产基地已经停止运营。它还对商用车和乘用车的销售产生了严重影响,损害了汽车行业对 NGV 的需求。然而,许多公司报告说,大流行后天然气汽车的销量有所增加,预计这将在预测期内推动天然气汽车市场的扩张。
市场增长因素
人们越来越需要排放更少污染物的车辆。
随着尾气法规的收紧,CNG、LNG等低排放车辆有可能加速普及。许多国家已经宣布了未来几年减少污染物的目标,并在未来几年对这些车辆制定了更严格的规定。许多国家已经在支持开发替代燃料汽车,例如 CNG 和 LNG,以减少与进口汽油相关的排放和成本。现代汽车可以轻鬆且廉价地转换为 LNG 或 CNG 燃料系统。
增加对配备 CNG 的车辆的投资
CNG 和 LNG 汽车作为汽油和柴油汽车的廉价替代品,在全国许多汽车类别中的销量正在急剧扩大。近年来,CNG汽车的註册数量增长了数倍。註册的汽油和压缩天然气汽车的数量也在增加。汽油和混合动力汽车也正在大量生产以满足不断扩大的需求。
市场製约因素
对电动汽车的需求不断增长
气候变化正在世界各地发生。世界各国正在采取措施限制温室气体(包括二氧化碳)的排放。世界上有几个国家正在引入电动汽车以实现其净零排放目标,这正在增加全球对电动汽车的需求。与传统的汽油车不同,电动汽车使用可再生能源运行且不排放任何废气。电动汽车不需要发动机,而是通过驱动由电池供电的电动机来行驶。
汽车类型展望
天然气汽车市场按车型划分为乘用车、轻型和大型客车、卡车和三轮车。 2021 年,轻型和重型细分市场在天然气汽车市场中占据了很大的收入份额。轻型 NGV 是使用丙烷、液化石油气、压缩天然气或其他压缩燃料的车辆。对清洁燃料的需求不断增长以及对使用石油产品的负面影响的日益担忧预计将推动增长。
按燃料类型划分的前景
天然气汽车市场按燃料类型分为 CNG 和 LNG。 2021 年,CNG 细分市场在天然气汽车市场的收入份额最高。该细分市场的增长可归因于旨在减少车辆排放和加强环境保护的政府举措的增加。由于 CNG 无毒,因此可以减少对环境的影响。
区域展望
天然气汽车市场按区域分析,分为北美、欧洲、亚太和 LAMEA。亚太地区提高了 2021 年天然气汽车市场的最大收入份额。这一扩张是由于该地区乘用车的生产和销售增加。由于印度、中国和巴基斯坦等国家天然气装置的扩张,该地区已成为天然气汽车的最大采用者。例如,在印度,石油和天然气部製定了城市燃气分配 (CGD) 政策。根据这一政策,该国将在全国范围内扩大 CNG 基础设施。
市场进入者采取的主要策略是产品发布。根据 Cardinal Matrix 中的分析,康明斯公司和沃尔沃集团是天然气汽车市场的领导者。 Westport Fuel Systems, Inc.、Hexagon Agility, Inc. 和 CNH Industrial N.V. 等公司是天然气汽车市场的主要创新者。
The Global Automotive Natural Gas Vehicle Market size is expected to reach $14.3 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 5.9% CAGR during the forecast period.
Automotive natural gas vehicles use an alternative to diesel and gasoline, liquefied natural gas (LNG), or compressed natural gas (CNG). Buses, lift trucks, light and heavy vehicles, motorbikes, automobiles, vans, and locomotives make extensive use of natural gas. Natural gas is a more inexpensive and environmentally beneficial alternative to conventional fuels. Nowadays the penetration of automotive natural gas cars is rising due to their operating advantages. The increasing need for alternative fuels in the transportation field is prompting industry participants to use LNG for their operations. Consequently, the transportation industry is experiencing an increase in the requirement for LNG vehicles.
Natural gas vehicles function similarly to gasoline-powered automobiles. Typically, a natural gas vehicle's fuel tank or cylinder is located near the rear of the vehicle. Using fuel lines high-pressure gas is transferred from the gas tank by the fuel system to the combustion chamber. The fuel is then mixed with air inside the combustion chamber, where it is compressed and ignited with the help of a spark plug. It has been observed that vehicles powered by natural gas have low emissions and high performance.
Prominently, three varieties of NGVs exist namely, dedicated, dual-fuel, and bi-fuels. Dedicated vehicles are exclusively built to operate on natural gas. Bi-fuel vehicles are equipped with two distinct fueling systems that allow them to operate on either gasoline or natural gas. The dual-fuel systems vehicles run on natural gas, while diesel fuel is used to assist the ignition. Traditionally, this design is exclusive to heavy-duty trucks. Under pressure, CNG vehicles retain natural gas in containers where it stays in a gaseous state. Because LNG is kept as a liquid, its energy density is larger than that of CNG, allowing more fuel to be carried onboard a vehicle utilizing LNG. This makes LNG suitable for Class 7 and 8 trucks that require a longer range. Frequently, the choice of fuel is dictated by vehicle application requirements (e.g., energy requirements) and desired driving range.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The global economy suffered a significant setback because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a detrimental influence on automobile production. The pandemic caused political, social, and economic disruptions in important industries, which impeded growth to some degree. Several production facilities ceased operations as a consequence of the pandemic's effects on the supply chain. The outbreak had a severe influence on the sales of commercial and passenger vehicles, which in turn damaged the requirement for NGVs in the automotive industry. However, post-pandemic, a number of firms have reported an increase in sales of natural gas-powered vehicles, which is anticipated to propel the expansion of the automotive natural gas vehicle market throughout the forecast period.
Market Growth Factor
Nations face a growing need for vehicles that emit fewer pollutants
As many nations have become more worried about rising emissions, the spread of vehicles powered by low-emission fuels, such as CNG and LNG, may accelerate. Numerous nations have expressed a goal to reduce pollutants over the next few years, and they are enacting stricter regulations for these vehicles in the coming years. Many nations have already supported the development of alternative fuel vehicles like CNG and LNG in an effort to reduce gasoline import-related emissions and costs. Current automobiles can be easily and affordably converted to LNG or CNG fuel systems.
Increasing investment in vehicles with CNG backing
The sale of CNG and LNG automobiles as a less expensive alternative to gasoline/diesel vehicles has expanded dramatically in a number of automotive categories across the nation. Multiple times as many CNG-powered vehicles have been registered in recent years. In addition, the number of gasoline/CNG vehicle registration has also increased. Also, a substantial number of gasoline/hybrid vehicles are being produced to meet the expanding demand of the concerned populace.
Market Restraining Factor
Increase in electric vehicle demand
Changes in climate are occurring all around the planet. Countries around the world are taking steps to limit their emissions of greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide. Several nations throughout the world are embracing electric vehicles in order to reach their net-zero emission goals, which is growing the global demand for electric vehicles. Unlike conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, electric vehicles run on renewable power and produce no emissions. Eliminating the need for any other sort of engine, an electric vehicle features an electric motor that operates on battery-supplied electric power.
Vehicle Type Outlook
On the basis of vehicle type, the automotive natural gas vehicle market is divided into passenger vehicles, light-duty & heavy-duty buses and trucks, and three-wheelers. The light-duty and heavy-duty segments recorded a substantial revenue share in the automotive natural gas vehicle market in 2021. Light-duty NGVs are automobiles that run on propane, LPG, compressed natural gas, or other compressed fuels. Growth is predicted to be fueled by rising clean fuel demand as well as growing worries about the negative effects of utilizing petroleum goods.
Fuel Type Outlook
Based on fuel type, the automotive natural gas vehicle market is categorized into CNG and LNG. The CNG segment garnered the highest revenue share in the automotive natural gas vehicle market in 2021. The expansion of this segment can be ascribed to the growing number of government efforts aimed at reducing vehicle emissions and enhancing environmental protection. The non-toxicity of CNG reduces its environmental impact.
Regional Outlook
Based on region, the automotive natural gas vehicle market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. The Asia Pacific segment procured the maximum revenue share in the automotive natural gas vehicle market in 2021. This expansion is attributable to increased passenger car production and sales in the region. Due to the growth of natural gas facilities in nations like India, China, and Pakistan, this area is the biggest adopter of natural gas vehicles. In India, for instance, the City Gas Distribution (CGD) policy was developed by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. In accordance with the policy, the state would extend CNG infrastructure nationwide.
