The global compressed natural gas (CNG) market was valued at approximately USD 159.9 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 11.7% over the forecast period 2024-2032. The increasing demand for cleaner fuel alternatives, coupled with stringent government emission regulations, is driving the adoption of CNG as a sustainable energy source across multiple industries. CNG has emerged as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly substitute for conventional fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel, making it an attractive option in both automotive and industrial applications.
With volatile crude oil prices and growing concerns over carbon emissions, CNG adoption is accelerating globally. The transportation sector remains a major consumer of CNG, with increasing numbers of light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles being converted to natural gas. Several governments are offering subsidies and incentives to promote CNG refueling infrastructure, and major oil & gas companies are investing in CNG distribution networks to expand accessibility. The rising production of non-associated gas and advancements in CNG storage and fueling technologies are also propelling market growth.
CNG is witnessing high demand in emerging economies such as India, China, and Brazil, where rapid urbanization and industrialization are driving fuel consumption. Asia-Pacific dominates the global CNG market, accounting for 48.3% of the total revenue share in 2023. Meanwhile, North America and Europe are experiencing a surge in CNG adoption, primarily due to favorable government policies and a growing inclination toward green energy solutions.
The market is also benefitting from technological advancements in CNG engine designs, fuel injection systems, and storage solutions, which enhance vehicle performance and expand the scope of CNG applications across industries. Furthermore, oil & gas companies are increasingly investing in CNG refueling stations and strategic partnerships to accelerate adoption. With the continued push for sustainability, the global CNG market is poised for robust growth over the forecast period.
