The Pressure Vessel Market for alternative fuels was valued at $3,038 million in 2016, and is expected to reach at $8,529 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 16.6% from 2017 to 2023. CNG pressure vessels are widely used for storage and transportation of liquids and gases when configured as tanks. These vessels are generally manufactured from curved sheets joined by welding, and mostly V-butt welded pressure vessels are used. The riveted joints could be used but since the plates are weakened at the joint due to the rivet holes the plate thickness should be enhanced by considering the joint efficiency.
The pressure vessel market for alternative fuels is segmented based on construction type, application, and region. Based on construction type, it is classified into CNG type I, CNG type II, CNG type III and CNG type IV. Based on application, it is categorized into CNG vehicles, hydrogen vehicles and gas transport. CNG type I is the highest revenue generator for the pressure vessel’s alternative fuels market in 2016, because it is least expensive out of other CNG types. Also, the metalworking skills and equipment needed to produce them are widely available internationally. CNG type IV segment is forecasted to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period as it is the lightest among other CNG types. CNG type IV reduces the weight of the storage container by 30 to 40 percent.

Segment Review
The CNG vehicles dominated the pressure vessel market for alternative fuels in 2016. Approximately more than 80 percent of the heavy and medium trucks and transit buses are CNG-based fueling systems. The most lucrative market for CNG pressure vessels are witnessed in developing countries. In 2008 around 90% of 2 million CNG vehicles were delivered to customers outside Europe and North America. Between 2009 and 2013, approximately 32 million CNG vehicles were delivered to customers outside North America and Europe thereby, indicating the major demand for these vehicles from developing economies.

Key Benefits
A pressure vessel is a close container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the gauge pressure in another vessel. They are containers for the containment of pressure either external or internal. The pressure is obtained from an external source, or by the application of heat from a direct or indirect source or by combining both. Pressure vessels are used in industrial compressed air receivers, domestic hot water storage tanks, diving cylinders, recompression chambers, distillation towers, autoclaves, oil refineries or petrochemical plants, nuclear reactor vessels, pneumatic, and hydraulic reservoirs.
The market pressure vessel for alternative fuels is driven by the increase in number of natural gas vehicles (NGVs) globally. In 2018, the number of NGVs is estimated to be around 10 million units and is estimated to reach 65 million units by 2023, thereby increasing the market for pressure vessel vehicles. The growing demand for alternative fuels due to the lower prices of shale gas extraction in North America and Europe has also resulted in increase in the demand for pressure vessel.
The CNG type I segment dominated the pressure vessel market for alternative fuels in 2016, because it is least expensive out of other CNG types. Also, the metalworking skills and equipment needed to produce them are widely available internationally.
