LNG 충전소 시장 예측(-2030년) : 스테이션 유형별, 용도별, 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global LNG Filling Stations Market is accounted for $2.35 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $3.51 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. Liquefied natural gas, or LNG for short, is natural gas that has been chilled to the point where it may be safely transported or stored in a non-pressurized environment. Liquefied natural gas, also known as liquid natural gas, takes up about one-six hundredth of the volume of natural gas in its gaseous state. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is not only non-toxic and non-corrosive, but it is also odourless and colourless. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is primarily used to make it easier to transport natural gas from its source to its final destination. LNG may be used as a substitute when there is a lack of readily available pipeline capacity.

According to NGV Global, there were 28.5 million vehicles running on natural gas and arounf 33,383 natural gas fuelling stations around the world in 2020.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing demand for cleaner transportation fuels

As governments, industries, and consumers worldwide prioritize environmental sustainability, there is a strong emphasis on reducing emissions and improving air quality. LNG, as a cleaner-burning fuel compared to conventional options, offers an attractive solution for meeting these objectives. LNG-powered vehicles produce lower emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and carbon dioxide (CO2), leading to improved air quality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Restraint:

LNG storage and handling safety concerns

LNG is stored and transported at extremely low temperatures, requiring specialized equipment and safety measures to handle the fuel safely. Safety concerns associated with LNG storage, handling, and transportation can be perceived as a restraint for the LNG filling stations market. Public perception and awareness of LNG safety, as well as the need to educate stakeholders about the safe operation of LNG filling stations, are crucial to address these concerns and promote market acceptance.

Opportunity:

Expansion of the fleet of LNG-powered vehicles

The expansion of LNG-powered vehicle fleets is an opportunity for the LNG filling stations market. As more manufacturers offer LNG-compatible vehicles, including trucks, buses, and marine vessels, the demand for LNG fuel increases. The opportunity lies in supporting the growing fleet of LNG-powered vehicles with a corresponding expansion of LNG filling stations to meet refueling needs. This includes both retrofitting existing vehicles and the manufacturing of new LNG-powered vehicles.

Threat:

Price volatility of LNG

The price volatility of LNG can pose a threat to the LNG filling stations market. Fluctuations in LNG prices can impact the cost-effectiveness and competitiveness of LNG as a transportation fuel. Uncertainty in LNG pricing can affect the decision-making of fleet operators and transportation companies when considering the adoption of LNG-powered vehicles and the utilization of LNG filling stations. Price volatility can introduce risks and challenges for the financial viability of LNG filling stations and hinder market growth.

COVID-19 Impact:

COVID-19 has significantly impacted the growth of the LNG filling station market due to the importance of LNG filling stations in COVID-19 research. The pandemic has led to fluctuations in the demand for LNG fuel, affecting the utilization of LNG filling stations. The lockdown measures, travel restrictions, and reduced economic activity resulted in decreased demand for transportation fuels, including LNG. This decline in demand could have affected the utilization rates of LNG filling stations, particularly in sectors such as transportation, where the movement of vehicles was significantly reduced.

The vehicle segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period:

The Vehicle segment has generated the greatest revenue share in the marketing the forecast period due to the increasing popularity of LNG in vehicles. An environmentally beneficial substitute for gasoline or diesel may be a natural gas-powered engine. Natural gas can be used to power a variety of vehicles, including passenger cars, buses, Lorries, and trains, at LNG Filling Stations. Compared to other fuels, LNG is more economical and produces fewer greenhouse pollutants. Utilizing either mobile or stationary LNG refuelling stations, ships are refuelled with LNG. While permanent LNG filling stations are made for large vessels, mobile LNG filling stations are typically employed for small vessels. Because LNG is cleaner and more effective than other fossil fuels like oil or coal, a vessel's owner or operator may prefer it. LNG also enables ships to comply with environmental laws by lowering their carbon footprint.

The mobile station segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period:

Mobile Station segment is expected to witness fastest growth and expected to have the highest CAGR in the market over the forecast period. Mobile LNG filling stations offer the advantage of flexibility and portability. They can be easily transported to different locations based on demand requirements. This flexibility allows for temporary fueling solutions in areas where permanent LNG infrastructure may not be available or economically viable. Additionally, Mobile LNG filling stations can be quickly deployed to meet the immediate fueling needs of specific projects or events. Their portability allows for rapid installation and commissioning, reducing the lead time required to establish a fueling station compared to permanent infrastructure. This agility is particularly valuable in situations where time is critical or where the demand for LNG fuel is dynamic.

Region with largest share:

The Asia Pacific LNG Filling Stations market dominated the global market, and it is anticipated that this dominance will continue over the course of the forecast period because China has a significant number of LNG fueling stations. Due to rising natural gas demand as a cleaner alternative to conventional fossil fuels and a growth in the number of heavy-duty vehicles in the region, the LNG fueling station market in Asia Pacific is predicted to expand rapidly during the projected period. Due to the country's transition to cleaner forms of energy for commercial transportation, LNG plants in China have seen the largest growth in investment. It is anticipated that this will expand the market in this area.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is predicted to grow at the highest CAGR in this LNG Filling Stations market over the forecast period. The LNG filling stations market in North America is experiencing steady growth due to the rising demand for cleaner fuel options in the transportation sector. LNG is considered a more environmentally friendly fuel compared to diesel or gasoline, as it produces lower emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants. The market is expected to expand as more fleet operators, trucking companies, and other transportation sectors embrace LNG as a viable fuel solution. Additionally, Governments at various levels in North America are promoting the use of LNG as part of their efforts to reduce emissions and improve air quality. Supportive policies, incentives, and grants are being introduced to encourage the development of LNG infrastructure, including filling stations. These initiatives play a crucial role in driving market growth by reducing investment risks and providing financial support to station operators.
