LNG Storage Tank Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Product Type (Self-Supporting Tanks, Non-Self-Supporting Tanks); By Material Type; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2024 - 2032
The global LNG storage tank market size is expected to reach USD 28,723.26 Million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “LNG Storage Tank Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Product Type (Self-Supporting Tanks, Non-Self-Supporting Tanks); By Material Type; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2024 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The global demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) has experienced a notable increase, primarily propelled by its environmentally friendly combustion characteristics in comparison to traditional fossil fuels. This surge in demand is intimately tied to an increasing global focus on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning towards cleaner energy sources. While LNG has conventionally been utilized for large-scale power generation, its adoption as an alternative transport fuel for shipping, trains, and trucks and as a power source for remote small-scale grids presents a promising avenue for sustained demand growth.
Over the past decade, intensified industrialization and urbanization have led to a significant uptick in carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions globally. In response, governments worldwide are actively advocating for the use of natural gas in power generation and as a fuel for vehicles to curb emissions. To incentivize the transition, various governments are formulating supportive policies, including subsidies and tax exemptions for both automobile manufacturers and consumers, to boost the adoption of compressed natural gas (CNG) and LNG-based vehicles.
The global momentum towards achieving a more sustainable and low-carbon energy mix is a key driver behind increased investments in natural gas as a transitional fuel. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), there is a projected 60% increase in global renewable electricity capacity by 2026 compared to 2020 levels, reaching over 4800 GW. Renewables are anticipated to contribute nearly 95% of the increment in global power capacity through 2026, with solar photovoltaics alone accounting for more than half. LNG, recognized for its versatility and cleaner attributes within the natural gas spectrum, is gaining prominence in steering away from more carbon-intensive fuels.
LNG Storage Tank Market Report Highlights
