Market Statistics

Segment Insights & Market Share Analysis of the Carbon Composite Pressure Vessels Market:

The global carbon composite pressure vessels market is segmented based on pressure vessel type, application type, gas type, process type, and region.

Based on pressure vessel type –

• The carbon composite pressure vessels market is segmented into Type III and Type IV.
• Type IV pressure vessels remain at the forefront. In terms of volume, however, type III currently holds the lead. The tables are soon expected to turn, Type IV PV ultimately gaining the lead.
• Type IV pressure vessels find application on a wide range of vehicles, including passenger cars, transit and coach buses, heavy goods vehicles, concrete mixers, and delivery trucks. They are 30% of the weight of steel, improving vehicle range, payload, and handling and reducing fuel consumption. Type IV pressure vessels govern the fuel cell passenger car market and are currently used in all active passenger car models.
• The leading players are focusing on expanding their capabilities toward clean energy solutions. In September 2023, Luxfer announced a new £1 million production facility at its Colwick, Nottingham, site to support virtual gas pipelines that can distribute H2 across the UK and Europe. Worthington’s Amtrol-Alfa plant in Guimarães, Portugal, has also expanded to include Type III and IV pressure vessel lines for small-scale H2 industrial applications, H2 drones, and SCBA.

Based on application type –

• The market is segmented into transportation, gas carrier & storage, life support, recreational, and other applications. 
• Transportation and gas carrier & storage together accounted for a ginormous share of the market in 2024. Currently, these applications shape the overall demand in the market.
• The transportation application held the largest market share in 2024 with key applications including hydrogen storage tanks for FCVs, CNG tanks, etc. The driving factors for the transportation application are growth in FCEV production in the wake of capacity expansion plans of FCEV manufacturers, CO? emission targets set by governments, a gradual fade-out of pure ICE vehicles, and advantages offered by FCEVs.

Based on gas type –

• The carbon composite pressure vessels market is segmented into CNG/LNG, RNG, hydrogen, and other gases. 
• CNG/LNG held the largest share, but hydrogen is expected to present the most fruitful long-term scenario driven by increased H2 infrastructure investments and the adoption of H2 combustion engines and FCEVs.
• Natural gas powers more than 175,000 vehicles in the United States and roughly 23 million vehicles worldwide. CNG/LNG Type III and IV vessels, which consume the greatest volumes of carbon fiber composites, are growing largely due to demand from OEMs of mass-transit buses and commercial trucks. For these medium-and heavy-duty vehicles, the higher fuel density and low mass of these vessels can enable greater range and fuel economy, increase the operational interval between refueling stops, and help reduce maintenance costs.

Based on process type –

• The market is segmented into towpreg and wet winding.
• Wet winding grabbed the major market share in 2024, but towpreg or dry winding is anticipated to remain the more attractive segment during the forecast period.
• Most of the high-volume tank providers are doing wet winding, and they express limited interest in towpreg, particularly if the towpreg requires cold storage. The cost of wet winding is 40% lower than the dry process. Additionally, wet winding offers good airtightness because the winding tension helps extrude excess resin and eliminate bubbles, effectively filling voids. The fiber arrangement maintains excellent parallelism, and the resin-impregnated fibers experience reduced wear. Furthermore, wet winding provides high production efficiency, reaching speeds of up to 200 meters per minute.

Which Region Shows the Most Promising Growth Forecast and Opportunity?

The analysis suggests that Asia-Pacific took the biggest chunk of the pie in 2024, driven by China and South Korea, and it is expected to remain in the spotlight throughout the forecast period. This growth outlook is mainly attributed to the following–

• Asia-Pacific is the largest market for FCEV deployment and also leads in FCEV production, propelled by China and South Korea.
• Key FCEV manufacturers generating demand are Toyota, Hyundai, Honda, Zhengzhou Yutong Bus, Foton, SAIC, Zhongtong, Dongfeng, etc.
• All three major FC passenger vehicles—Toyota Mirai (Japan), Hyundai Nexo (South Korea), and Honda Clarity (Japan)—are also manufactured in the Asia-Pacific region. China, the largest truck market, also has an avid focus on the development of fuel-cell MHVs. South Korea aims to produce 6.2 million fuel-cell electric vehicles and install at least 1,200 refilling stations by 2040
