Market Dynamics
Introduction
Gas carrier and storage composite pressure vessels include type-II, type-III, and type-IV pressure vessels used for transportation of gaseous energy fuels in bulk form to temporary or permanent sites which don’t have access to pipelines. Though type-I is a proven technology with the lowest purchasing price, they possess a very low payload capacity. On the other hand, Type-IV pressure vessels are apt for carrying a large volume of gaseous fuel due to their high payload. Compared to Type-I, composite pressure vessels can transport around 80% more gas at a much lower vehicle weight.
Various gaseous fuels, such as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), and hydrogen, are being transported using these pressure vessels. These pressure vessels are used in a number of end-use applications, such as the oil & gas industry, power generation, the creation of gas islands, vehicle refueling stations, and agriculture. Oil & gas is one of the dominant end-use industries for these pressure vessels.
Market Drivers
The gas carrier & storage composite pressure vessels market is expanding as industries shift toward lightweight and durable storage solutions for gases like natural gas, hydrogen, and industrial gases. Unlike traditional metal tanks, composite pressure vessels built with carbon fiber or fiberglass-reinforced resin offer enhanced strength, corrosion resistance, and safety while reducing overall weight. This makes them ideal for transportation, storage, and energy applications. Growing natural gas consumption, the rise of hydrogen as a clean energy source, and stricter environmental regulations are driving demand. Additionally, as countries invest in hydrogen infrastructure and alternative fuel technologies, the need for safe and efficient gas storage solutions continues to grow, positioning composite vessels as a key in the energy transition.
