The global auto gas market size reached US$ 49.46 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 66.96 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% during 2022-2028. The increasing concerns and awareness about environmental issues, lower maintenance costs associated with auto gas-powered vehicles, desire for energy diversification, expansion and development of auto gas infrastructure, and advancement of vehicle conversion technology, represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Auto gas, also known as autogas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), is a clean-burning alternative fuel commonly used in internal combustion engines. It is composed of a mixture of propane and butane gases, which are derived from the refining of crude oil or natural gas processing. Auto gas is stored in pressurized tanks in a liquid state that is converted into vapor when it is released for combustion. It offers several advantages as a fuel for vehicles, such as it is a more environment-friendly option compared to traditional gasoline or diesel fuels. Furthermore, auto gas is cost-effective as it is generally priced lower than gasoline and diesel, making it an attractive choice for budget-conscious vehicle owners. Additionally, the maintenance costs associated with auto gas-powered vehicles tend to be lower compared to traditional internal combustion engines, as auto gas burns cleaner, leading to reduced engine wear and extended lifespan of engine components.

Auto Gas Market Trends:
One of the primary factors driving the market is the increasing awareness and concerns about environmental issues, such as air pollution and climate change. Auto gas is considered a cleaner-burning fuel compared to gasoline and diesel, as it emits fewer greenhouse gases, particulate matter, and toxic pollutants. Besides this, governments and environmental organizations are promoting the use of auto gas to reduce vehicular emissions and improve air quality. Additionally, auto gas is generally priced lower than traditional fuels like gasoline and diesel. This cost advantage and the lower maintenance costs associated with auto gas-powered vehicles makes auto gas an attractive option for vehicle owners. Other than this, the availability and accessibility of auto gas refueling infrastructure are key factors influencing its market growth. Expansion of refueling stations and the establishment of a robust distribution network is essential for the wider adoption of auto gas. Moreover, governments and private companies are investing in infrastructure development to ensure convenient refueling options for auto gas users. Besides this, the advancement of vehicle conversion technology has facilitated the adoption of auto gas. Furthermore, the availability of conversion kits and the expertise of skilled technicians are making it convenient for vehicle owners to switch to auto gas without significant modifications to their vehicles. On account of these factors, the market is expected to create a positive thrust in the coming years.
