Global natural gas vehicle (NGV) market is projected to witness a CAGR of 5.91% during the forecast period 2025-2032, growing from USD 15.02 billion in 2024 to USD 23.78 billion in 2032F, owing to the environmental regulations, lower fuel costs, and growing adoption of compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) vehicles. Both passenger and commercial segments are witnessing increased investments in infrastructure and vehicle production. Technological advancements, such as improved storage systems and vehicle conversions, are enhancing NGV performance.
Governments worldwide are incentivizing NGV use through subsidies and tax breaks. While Europe and Asia lead infrastructure deployment, emerging economies are rapidly catching up due to urban pollution concerns. Companies are focusing on introducing vehicles that have come with higher loading capacities.
For instance, in April 2025, BYD Corporation launched the world's largest LNG-fueled car carrier, the 219-meter-long BYD Shenzhen, which can transport up to 9,200 vehicles. This vessel is the fourth in BYD's growing fleet and highlights the company's efforts to boost export capacity and global reach. The BYD Shenzhen, capable of running on both LNG and conventional fuels, will soon load cargo in China before heading to Brazil. BYD aims to operate eight such carriers by 2026.
Environmental Regulations and Cost Advantage Fuels Global Natural Gas Vehicle Market Demand
Stricter emissions standards and global pressure to reduce greenhouse gases are encouraging shifts toward NGVs. CNG produces up to 20-30% less CO2 compared to gasoline or diesel. Many countries are introducing zero-emission zones and cleaner-air mandates, compelling fleet operators and private users to adopt NGVs. Furthermore, over 50 cities globally have announced bans on high-emission vehicles, increasing demand for low-emission alternatives. As such, NGVs are becoming a greener option, balancing regulatory compliance with operational efficiency. Hence, lending companies also partner with automakers to deliver advanced finance options for the end users.
For instance, in May 2025, Greenline Mobility Solutions Limited partnered with Shriram Finance Limited to launch a new fleet of LNG-powered trucks in India, aiming to transform the country's logistics sector with sustainable, high-performance solutions. The initiative, flagged off at Chakan, Pune, is part of GreenLine's plan to deploy over 10,000 LNG and EV trucks, backed by a nationwide network of refuelling and charging stations. This collaboration targets a reduction of up to 1 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually, supporting India's decarbonization goals.
Natural gas is generally 30-50% cheaper per energy unit than gasoline or diesel in many regions, offering substantial savings for high-mileage users. Price stability versus oil-based fuels makes budgeting easier for public transportation agencies and logistics companies. Lower fuel cost, coupled with favorable conversion or factory prices for NGVs, makes the total cost of ownership attractive over the vehicle's lifetime. For consumers and businesses alike, this economic incentive drives wide-scale conversion from conventional internal combustion engines to NGVs.
Infrastructure Expansion and Advancements to Shape Natural Gas Vehicle Market Dynamics
The expansion of CNG/LNG refueling stations is critical to NGV adoption. Governments and private investors are deploying more public and fleet-access stations, especially along trucking corridors and urban transit routes. In addition, the integration of fast-fill and cascading systems further reduces refueling time. As a result, vehicle range anxiety decreases and fleet managers gain confidence in daily operations without disruption, fostering broader NGV market penetration.
For instance, in March 2025, BSM launched the TRANS HARMONY GREEN, the first LNG dual-fuel car carrier added to its managed fleet, operated by its Singapore office. This 3,000-CEU pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) serves the Japan-Southeast Asia route, primarily transporting Toyota vehicles. The vessel exemplifies BSM's commitment to cleaner, sustainable shipping solutions by utilizing LNG dual-fuel technology, enhancing environmental performance while meeting growing demand for eco-friendly maritime transport.
Advances in high-pressure composite storage tanks (350-700 bar), lightweight materials, and efficient engine conversions enhance NGV performance, safety, and range. Bi-fuel and dual-fuel systems allow vehicles to switch between natural gas and gasoline seamlessly. Real-time monitoring and telematics improve fuel efficiency and maintenance scheduling.
