Global and India Type 4 Cylinders Market

Global & India 4-Cylinder Market to Grow with Urbanization and Rising Income

The global type 4-cylinder market size was valued at USD 279.31 Million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.46% during the forecast period. However, India’s type 4-cylinder market is projected to reach USD 23.11 Million by 2030 at a growth rate of 7.73%. The growth in demand for lightweight cylinders with higher pressure requirements, more gas carrying capacity per cylinder and the rising number of natural gas vehicles (NGVs) are the main factors driving the type 4-cylinder market. Additionally, the market for type 4 cng  cylinders is anticipated to grow significantly due to increased technological innovation and investments from the major players.

Further, the surge in demand for lightweight, explosion proof and non-corrosive LPG & CNG cylinders and government push towards the usage of composite cylinders are propelling the growth of the type 4-cylinder market in the future periods. Preference of end users for type 4- cylinders due to their ease of handling and partial visibility is driving the demand in the type 4-cylinder cylinder market.

The Internet of Things (IoT)-powered smart composite cylinder communicates to customer devices and the LPG distributors’ IT infrastructure. The system allows distributors to adjust their supply logistics and stocks in real-time and notifies users of the amount of gas still in their cylinders. The growing adoption of type 4 cylinders across various end-use sectors—including automotive, marine and defense, household, fleet owners, oil industry, and others—will drive the growth of the type 4 cylinders market over the forecast period. This growth stems from numerous benefits of these cylinders over traditional metal cylinders, such as improved safety, lighter weight, and superior corrosion resistance.

Cylinder Type Overview in the Global Type 4-Cylinder Market

Based on cylinder type, the global type 4-cylinder market is classified into CNG, biogas, hydrogen, and LPG. The CNG segment generated USD 131.50 million in revenue in 2021 and expects to reach USD 240.24 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.11% during the forecast period, 2022-2030. Type 4 CNG Cylinders drive the segment’s growth because they reduce weight by around 70% compared to Type 1 and 2 Steel cylinders and by 5% to 35% compared to Type 3 Aluminum liner-based cylinders, thanks to the lightweight HDPE liner. The Type 4 cylinders have higher Class pressure withstanding capacity when compared with Type 3 cylinders.

Fiber Type Overview in the Global Type 4-Cylinder Market

Based on fiber type, the global type 4-cylinder market divides into glass fiber composites and carbon fiber composites. The carbon fiber composites segment held the largest share of 55.96% in 2021 and will reach USD 288.21 million by 2030. It is due to this carbon fiber coating ensures higher heat resistance, helically wound on the liner in combination with resin to import high tensile strength. Glass fiber is estimated to hold a considerable share in the global type 4-cylinder market over the forecasted period of 2022-2030. Glass fiber composites are a particular kind of fiber-reinforced polymer composite with qualities like low density, high strength, and simplicity in production. As a result, the aerospace, automotive, and construction industries all utilize it substantially. Glass fibers are the most typical reinforcing fiber used in polymeric matrix composites.

Application Overview in the Global Type 4-Cylinder Market

Based on the application, the global type 4-cylinder market segments into industrial, household, marine & defense, fleet owners, and others. The industrial segment further subdivides into the automotive industry, oil & gas industry, chemical industry, and others. The industrial segment generated USD 127.70 million in revenue in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 232.38 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.07% from 2022 to 2030. Growing demand for CNG, biogas, and hydrogen gas in commercial and private vehicles drives this segmented growth. Natural gas serves as a proven alternative fuel that powers natural gas vehicles. These cylinders are 30% of the weight of steel, improving vehicle range, payload, handling and reducing fuel consumption.

Distribution Channel Overview in the Global Type 4-cylinder Market

Based on the distribution channel, the global type 4-cylinder market segments into OEM and gas distribution companies. The OEM segment holds the highest market share of 65.47% in 2021 and projects to generate USD 335.81 million by 2030. It is because major type 4-cylinder manufacturers have started their distribution channel and marketing & sell offices in developing nations worldwide. The high prices of these cylinders prohibit gas distribution companies from immediately adopting steel cylinders with the type-4 composite cylinder in under-developed and developing countries.

Regional Overview in the Global Type 4-Cylinder Market

By region, the global type 4-cylinder market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa. The Europe region generated USD 101.63 million in revenue in 2021 and is likely to reach USD 165.14 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.98% during the forecast period, 2022-2030. There has been a substantial growth in the use of automobiles in Europe emerging nations, which has increased the demand for fossil fuels. The government announced several support policies to encourage the development of natural gas-powered automobiles for commercial use to decrease the imports of fossil fuels. Furthermore, the benefits of using natural gas in the transportation sector will favor the environment, which is expected to drive the market.
