Overview

Scope of the Report

The global Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Vehicles market size is predicted to grow from US$ 15,120 million in 2025 to US$ 27,820 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2026 to 2032.

A natural gas vehicle (NGV) is an alternative fuel vehicle that uses compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG). Natural gas vehicles should not be confused with autogas vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), mainly propane, a fuel with a fundamentally different composition.In a natural-gas-powered vehicle, energy is released by the combustion of methane gas (CH4) fuel with oxygen (O2) from the air to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) in an internal combustion engine. Methane is the cleanest burning hydrocarbon, and many contaminants present in natural gas are removed at the source. Existing gasoline-powered vehicles may be converted to run on CNG or LNG and can be dedicated (running only on natural gas) or bi-fuel (running on either gasoline or natural gas). Diesel engines for heavy trucks and buses can also be converted and can be dedicated with the addition of new heads containing spark ignition systems, or can be run on a blend of diesel and natural gas, with the primary fuel being natural gas and a small amount of diesel fuel being used as an ignition source. It is also possible to generate energy in a small gas turbine and couple the gas engine or turbine with a small electric battery to create a hybrid electric motor-driven vehicle.

Global key players of compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas vehicle include Maruti Suzuki, Iran Khodro, Volkswagen, Hyundai Motor, Stellantis, etc. Global top five manufacturers hold a share over 42%. India is the largest producer of compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas vehicle, holds a share over 18%. In terms of product, CNG vehicle is the largest segment, with a share over 73%. And in terms of application, the largest application is passenger vehicle, with a share over 75%, followed by commercial vehicle.
