Below are some of the key findings from this CNG compressors market research analysis

Global CNG compressors market outlook
Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global CNG compressors market to grow steadily during the forecast period and post a CAGR of more than 4% by 2020. This industry research report identifies the increased use of natural gas vehicles to be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the natural gas compression systems market in the coming years. Owing to benefits such low operating costs and reduced vehicular emissions, there will be an increased adoption of natural gas vehicles in the passenger car segment and commercial fleets. In addition to OEMs such as GM, Ford, Fiat, Volvo, and Audi offering light, medium, and heavy vehicles, leading players in the automotive industry such as GM and Ford also certify natural gas conversion systems, that can be installed without voiding the warranty. Moreover, the governments of several countries will also induce commercial fleet operators to start operating natural gas vehicles. For instance, the Chinese government has already started initiatives to promote and implement green transportation in 100 cities in the country. This increasing usage of natural gas vehicles will demand the construction of CNG fuel stations, which in turn, will drive the growth of the natural gas compressors market.
