According to
a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of global composite
cylinder market looks promising with opportunities in gas carriers &
storage, transportation, life support, and recreation industries. The global composite cylinder market is expected to reach an estimated $968 million by 2022 and it is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2017 to 2022. The major drivers for market growth are
increasing number of natural gas vehicles (NGVs) and growing demand for lightweight
cylinders with higher pressure requirement and greater gas carrying capacity
per cylinder.
In this market, gas carriers & storage,
transportation, life support, and recreation & others are the major end use
industries. On the basis of
comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that the gas carriers & storage
and transportation segments are expected to show above average growth during
the forecast period.
Within the global composite cylinder market,
the transportation segment is expected to remain the largest market by value.
Expected growth in the alternative fuel vehicles and increasing requirement of
weight reduction with higher gas carrying capacity are the major driving forces
that spur growth for this segment over the forecast period.
By type of tank, type IV CNG cylinder is
expected to be the largest segment due to its growing demand in large transit
buses, delivery trucks, and bulk transportation of gases.
By fiber
type, carbon fiber composite in the global composite cylinder market is expected to remain the largest material
type by value and glass fiber composite is expected to be the largest material
type by volume over the forecast period.
The lightweight characteristics and higher performance benefits are likely to
drive the demand for carbon fiber composite over the forecast period.
Europe is
expected to remain the largest market for composite cylinder due to the higher
acceptance level and increasing use of lightweight cylinders.
North America
is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period due
to the expected growth in the
alternative fuel vehicle fleet, increasing natural gas activities, and growing
use of lightweight cylinders.
Europe is
expected to remain the largest market, whereas North America is expected to
witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period due to growing
demand from gas carriers and storage and other end use industries.
For business expansion,
Lucintel’s report suggests innovation and new product development to achieve higher
pressure rating, better heat tolerance, and higher gas carrying capacity.
Emerging
trends which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry include the
increase in green fleet and development of type V tanks. Luxfer Gas Cylinder,
Hexagon Composites ASA, Quantum Technologies, Worthington Cylinders, Time
Technoplast, Faber Industries S.p.A., Beijing
Tianhai Industry Co., and Ullit are among the major suppliers of composite
cylinders.
