CNG (compressed natural gas) and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) vehicles are automobiles that utilize alternative fuels-compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)-as their primary sources of energy. These vehicles feature engines or retrofit kits specifically designed to accommodate the unique properties of these alternative fuels, offering environmental benefits compared to traditional gasoline and diesel vehicles. These benefits include lower emissions of pollutants and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
The primary fuel types used in CNG and LPG vehicles are compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Compressed natural gas refers to a fuel primarily composed of methane stored under high pressure, commonly employed as an alternative to gasoline or diesel in vehicles. These vehicles come in various types, including passenger cars and commercial vehicles, and are distributed through various sales channels such as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) outlets and retrofitting services.

This CNG and LPG vehicle market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry
The CNG and LPG Vehicles market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.87 billion in 2023 to $4.19 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including increased early adoption by public transit systems, government subsidies and incentives, rising environmental awareness, industry collaborations and partnerships, and research and development initiatives.
The CNG and LPG Vehicles market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.88 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The forecasted growth in the period ahead can be linked to several factors, including stricter emission regulations, the integration of renewable energy, urbanization and congestion challenges, the transition towards sustainable mobility, and market expansion strategies. Major trends expected in the forecast period encompass the growth of biogas and bio-LPG adoption, integration with advanced vehicle technologies, the expansion of mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) solutions, the emergence of next-generation infrastructure, and a shift towards circular economy models.
The CNG and LPG vehicle market is poised for growth, driven by the increasing adoption of clean-energy vehicles. Clean-energy vehicles utilize alternative fuels or energy sources with lower or zero emissions, addressing concerns about environmental sustainability and carbon emissions reduction. Compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are preferred alternative fuels due to their cleaner emissions compared to traditional gasoline and diesel options, offering a more environmentally friendly transportation solution. For example, according to the International Energy Agency, electric car sales nearly tripled in 2021 to 3.3 million, comprising about half of the worldwide total, with sales of electric cars, including fully electric and plug-in hybrids, doubling to reach a record 6.6 million compared to the previous year. Consequently, the surge in clean-energy vehicle adoption is fueling the growth of the CNG and LPG vehicle market.
Major companies in the CNG and LPG vehicle market are pioneering innovative twin-cylinder CNG technology to enhance fuel efficiency and minimize emissions. Twin-cylinder CNG technology involves outfitting a vehicle with two separate compressed natural gas (CNG) cylinders to store fuel. For instance, in May 2023, Tata Motors Limited, an India-based automotive company, unveiled the Altroz iCNG, incorporating twin-cylinder CNG technology. This cutting-edge solution addresses the common concern of limited boot space in CNG cars, providing owners with practical and usable storage capacity. The Altroz iCNG boasts features such as leatherette seats, iRA-connected car technology, cruise control, and automatic headlamps.
In May 2023, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. partnered with Cummins Inc. to deploy five new tractors powered by a Cummins-built CNG engine. These tractors offer performance and range comparable to diesel engines while running quieter, offering lower maintenance costs, and promoting sustainable transportation in the trucking industry. Walmart's initiative to introduce CNG trucks into its fleet aligns with its goal to achieve zero emissions across its global operations by 2040. Cummins Inc. is known for manufacturing diesel and alternative fuel engines and generators.
