Emerging Demand for Natural Gas Engine to Boost the Global Natural Gas Engine Market, reaching CAGR 7.4 % by 2027

Natural gas production, which is necessary for the operation of gas engines, is increasing rapidly. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) Natural Gas Information, natural gas output in 2019 reached a new high of 4,088 billion cubic metres (Bcm), up 3.3% from 2018. In addition, natural gas demand climbed by 1.5% in 2019. Gas engines are less expensive, more ecologically friendly, more reliable, and more efficient than engines powered by other fuels, driving up demand for them. According to Eurostat, natural gas accounts for 36% of EU energy consumption, while it accounts for more than 25% of energy consumption in the United States. Natural gas engines are becoming more popular in heating, energy generating, and vehicle operation applications.

Surging Demand for Clean and Efficient Power Generation Technology is Expected to Drive the Market's Growth Rate

As economies transition to renewables and other clean energy sources, natural gas is frequently used as a transition fuel. Furthermore, natural gas accounted for around 25% of the world's total primary energy consumption in 2020, which is expected to rise. Natural gas-fired power stations are much less expensive and easier to develop. Natural gas engines burn cleaner, and the crankcase engine oil is not contaminated with soot. Applications such as cogeneration, trigeneration, and quad generation improve the efficiency of gas-fired power plants even more. Cogeneration and trigeneration systems are used in developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Ireland. Developing countries will soon embrace these methods to achieve operational excellence and reduce their carbon footprint. As a result, the market for gas engines is likely to grow over the forecast period due to the rising demand for clean and efficient power generation technology.
