天然氣汽車全球市場規模、份額和行業趨勢分析報告:按車輛類型(乘用車、小型/大型客車和卡車、三輪車)、燃料類型、區域展望和預測,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,全球天然氣汽車市場規模預計將達到 143 億美元,預測期內復合年增長率為 5.9%。
NGV 分為三種類型:專用車、雙燃料車和雙燃料車。私家車是以天然氣為燃料的車輛。雙燃料汽車配備兩種燃料供應系統,可以使用汽油或天然氣。雙燃料系統車輛使用天然氣和柴油燃料來輔助點火。傳統上,這種設計專用於重型卡車。 CNG 汽車將天然氣放入容器中,對其加壓,使其保持氣態。由於LNG是液體,比CNG具有更高的能量密度,可以攜帶更多的燃料。因此,LNG適用於遠程7級和8級卡車。燃料選擇通常受車輛應用要求(例如能量要求)和所需裡程的驅動。
COVID-19 影響分析
COVID-19 大流行導致全球經濟嚴重衰退,對汽車生產產生不利影響。疫情在關鍵行業造成政治、社會和經濟動盪,一定程度上阻礙了增長。由於對供應鏈的影響,一些生產基地已經停止運營。它還對商用車和乘用車的銷售產生了嚴重影響,損害了汽車行業對 NGV 的需求。然而,許多公司報告說,大流行後天然氣汽車的銷量有所增加,預計這將在預測期內推動天然氣汽車市場的擴張。
市場增長因素
人們越來越需要排放更少污染物的車輛。
隨著尾氣法規的收緊,CNG、LNG等低排放車輛有可能加速普及。許多國家已經宣布了未來幾年減少污染物的目標,並在未來幾年對這些車輛制定了更嚴格的規定。許多國家已經在支持開發替代燃料汽車,例如 CNG 和 LNG,以減少與進口汽油相關的排放和成本。現代汽車可以輕鬆且廉價地轉換為 LNG 或 CNG 燃料系統。
增加對配備 CNG 的車輛的投資
CNG 和 LNG 汽車作為汽油和柴油汽車的廉價替代品,在全國許多汽車類別中的銷量正在急劇擴大。近年來,CNG汽車的註冊數量增長了數倍。註冊的汽油和壓縮天然氣汽車的數量也在增加。汽油和混合動力汽車也正在大量生產以滿足不斷擴大的需求。
市場製約因素
對電動汽車的需求不斷增長
氣候變化正在世界各地發生。世界各國正在採取措施限制溫室氣體(包括二氧化碳)的排放。世界上有幾個國家正在引入電動汽車以實現其淨零排放目標,這正在增加全球對電動汽車的需求。與傳統的汽油車不同,電動汽車使用可再生能源運行且不排放任何廢氣。電動汽車不需要發動機,而是通過驅動由電池供電的電動機來行駛。
汽車類型展望
天然氣汽車市場按車型劃分為乘用車、輕型和大型客車、卡車和三輪車。 2021 年,輕型和重型細分市場在天然氣汽車市場中佔據了很大的收入份額。輕型 NGV 是使用丙烷、液化石油氣、壓縮天然氣或其他壓縮燃料的車輛。對清潔燃料的需求不斷增長以及對使用石油產品的負面影響的日益擔憂預計將推動增長。
按燃料類型劃分的前景
天然氣汽車市場按燃料類型分為 CNG 和 LNG。 2021 年,CNG 細分市場在天然氣汽車市場的收入份額最高。該細分市場的增長可歸因於旨在減少車輛排放和加強環境保護的政府舉措的增加。由於 CNG 無毒,因此可以減少對環境的影響。
區域展望
天然氣汽車市場按區域分析,分為北美、歐洲、亞太和 LAMEA。亞太地區提高了 2021 年天然氣汽車市場的最大收入份額。這一擴張是由於該地區乘用車的生產和銷售增加。由於印度、中國和巴基斯坦等國家天然氣裝置的擴張,該地區已成為天然氣汽車的最大採用者。例如,在印度,石油和天然氣部製定了城市燃氣分配 (CGD) 政策。根據這一政策,該國將在全國范圍內擴大 CNG 基礎設施。
市場進入者採取的主要策略是產品發布。根據 Cardinal Matrix 中的分析,康明斯公司和沃爾沃集團是天然氣汽車市場的領導者。 Westport Fuel Systems, Inc.、Hexagon Agility, Inc. 和 CNH Industrial N.V. 等公司是天然氣汽車市場的主要創新者。
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.
