CNG and LPG Vehicle Market

Market Overview:

The global CNG and LPG vehicle market size reached USD 2.9 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 5.4 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.27% during 2025-2033. The burgeoning automobile industry, rising fuel prices, and the growing demand for original equipment manufacturer (OEM)-fitted vehicles represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles rely on CNG for their propulsion and produce energy by burning methane with oxygen, which releases carbon dioxide and water vapor. They store natural gas in a CNG tank and supply it to the engine through a CNG kit comprising a high-pressure tube, fittings, pressure gauge, hoses, and clamps. They transfer high-pressure gas from the fuel tank via the fuel lines, wherein a pressure regulator reduces the pressure to a level compatible with the engine fuel injection system. They offer dual drive modes to the driver of the vehicle for switching between petrol or diesel and CNG mode. On the other hand, liquified petroleum gas (LPG) vehicles rely on LPG, which is a mixture of various hydrocarbon gases. They store LPG in a pressurized fuel tank in liquid form which is located under the boot floor.

CNG and LPG Vehicle Market Trends:

At present, the rising demand for low-emission vehicles due to the increasing awareness among the masses about the harmful impacts of air pollution represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Besides this, governing agencies of various countries are promoting the usage of CNG and LPG vehicles through subsidies and tax rebates. They are also focusing on developing CNG and LPG infrastructure, which is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the rising fuel prices on account of the increasing number of petroleum vehicles and reducing reserves of fuels are offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Moreover, the growing demand for original equipment manufacturer (OEM)-fitted vehicles due to various benefits, such as personalization of the vehicle and the provided warranty, is positively influencing the market. Apart from this, there is an increase in the utilization of CNG and LPG vehicles as public transport due to their cost-effectiveness and fuel efficiency across the globe. This, coupled with the thriving automobile industry, is strengthening the growth of the market. The rising price of diesel vehicles due to the incorporation of sophisticated exhaust gas recirculation and particulate filter systems is also catalyzing the demand for CNG and LPG vehicles. Furthermore, the increasing conversion rates of old petrol and diesel vehicles to CNG and LPG vehicles, along with the wide availability of various CNG and LPG retrofitting kits, is bolstering the growth of the market.
