resulting in an increase in the manufacturing of high-quality fuel tanks.
Furthermore, technical breakthroughs such as the development of self-sealing
gasoline tanks that can automatically seal in the event of a leak or damage are
propelling the industry forward. Additionally, in order to build lightweight
gasoline tanks, manufacturers are increasingly integrating plastic instead of
the traditional steel and metals. Other factors, such as increased disposable
income improving standards of living, are also playing a significant role. Hence,
these factors will drive Automotive Fuel Tank Market size in the forecast
period 2022-2027.

Automotive Fuel Tank Market Segment Analysis- By Capacity
By Capacity, Automotive Fuel Tank Market is
segmented into <45L, 45L-70L, >70L. Automotive Fuel Tank with capacity 45L-70L held a share of 25% of the Automotive Fuel Tank Market and is estimated to witness
significant market growth with a CAGR around 5.7% during the forecast period 2022-2027.
Some of the major factors influencing the growth of the market include rising
trend of low emission, high performance vehicles, high demographic rate,
improvement in standard of living and others. To fulfil the rising demand for
cars that are ideally suited for long travels have longer mileage range. Most new vehicle models produced by automotive manufacturers in the last five
years have had a minimum tank size of 45 litres. Large capacity fuel tanks, on
the other hand, assist to fill the empty space within the vehicle's chassis.
They also improve the car's handling by adding weight. The majority of small
automobiles have 45-liter fuel tanks, whereas the majority of sedans have
45-70-liter fuel tanks. Fuel tanks that hold more than 70 litres are required
for SUVs. As demand for automobiles grow in many nations, including Japan,
China, India, Germany, France, and Spain, the 45-70 litre capacity is expected
to be the significant in the market. Thus, above mentioned factors are analyzed to drive
the market in the forecast period 2022-2027.
Automotive Fuel Tank Market Segment Analysis- By Application
This market is segmented into Passenger vehicle, Light Commercial vehicle,
Heavy commercial vehicle, on the basis of application. According to
IndustryARC’s Automotive Fuel Tank Market report, the Passenger vehicle segment
is anticipated to witness significant amount of growth with CAGR of around 4.8%
during the forecast period 2022-2027. The market growth is attributed to
factors including rising population, rising disposable income, and the ease
with which credit and finance may be obtained. Furthermore, the market is
expected to see increased demand for passenger cars as the logistics and
passenger transportation sectors grow. Government programs and regulations have
a big impact on the passenger car market's growth. Governments are placing
pressure on passenger car manufacturers to build fuel-efficient, low-emission
cars, which has compelled them to invest heavily in research and development. For
instance, the European Emission Standards (EURO I, EURO II, EURO III, EURO IV,
and EURO V), the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE), and the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are some of the most widely used emission
standards in the world. Thus, the aforementioned factors are estimated to
positively impact the market growth during the forecast period 2022-2027.
Automotive Fuel Tank Market Segment Analysis- By Geography
APAC region is projected to have the fastest growth with a CAGR of 4.5% during 2022-2027. The automobile sector is booming in both developed and emerging countries in the area, fuelled by rising demand for passenger cars. In APAC, China and India have been the leading contributors to automobile sales. China is a prominent automobile producer in the world. The Automotive Fuel Tank Market is inclined to be driven by higher vehicle sales in the country. Despite the pandemic, China's automobile sales in 2020 reached 25.31 million. According to OICA, overall vehicle production in the first nine months of 2021 reached 32.67 million units, an increase of 11% over the same period previous year. Furthermore, the APAC region's expanding industrialisation and better infrastructure is propelling the rise of commercial vehicles. In addition, FDIs (foreign direct investment) are driving rapid growth in automotive manufacture and production in countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The need for automobile fuel tanks rises throughout APAC as a result of the expansion in vehicle production.
Automotive Fuel Tank Market Drivers
Increasing automotive manufacturing rate tends to drive the market growth for automotive fuel tank:
In
recent years, the automobile sector has seen consistent increase in car
production and sales. The increase in car manufacturing can be ascribed to the rising population, improving socioeconomic conditions, economic expansion, and
infrastructural development. A growth in middle-class discretionary income,
particularly in emerging countries such as India and Mexico, has also led to an
increase in car manufacturing and demand. As a result of the inclination for
individual mobility and two wheelers being a cost-effective means of
transportation, the demand for two wheelers is expanding. According to IBEF,
total passenger car manufacturing in FY21 was 22,652,108. The overall
production volume of passenger vehicles (excluding for BMW, Mercedes, Tata
Motors, and Volvo Auto) in October 2021, three wheelers, two wheelers and
quadricycles reached 2,214,745 units. Thus, the rise in market for automobile
positively impacts the market growth.
Trend towards constructing cost effective fuel tank using lightweight materials is expected to propel the market growth:
Alternative
fuel cars that use gaseous materials such as CNG, LNG, and hydrogen require
sturdy, safe, and lightweight tanks to retain regular vehicle size, weight, and
driving range. Traditional alternative fuel tanks are built of ordinary grade
steel, and after time, the gas can migrate into the metal, causing it to become
brittle and leak. The HDPE plastic fuel tanks are light in weight and safe to
use in automobiles, contributing significantly to the total weight of the
vehicle. The development of fuel cell technology has resulted in an effective
method for achieving a high driving range of around 500 km and a shorter refueling
time as compared to battery electric cars.
Automotive Fuel Tank Market Challenges
Rise in adoption of electric vehicle act as hindrance to the market growth for Automotive fuel tank:
The rising
market penetration of electric cars is one of the significant restrictions in
the fuel tank business. Rising demand for zero-emission vehicles is also
expected to boost electric vehicle sales in the future. Electric vehicle
technology has gotten more economical over time, with numerous countries
encouraging the use of electric vehicles through tax breaks and other
incentives. A considerable rise in government financial assistance in the form
of tax refunds and subsidies, as well as legislation to encourage eco-friendly
automobiles, has resulted in an increase in the adoption rate of electric
vehicles. Furthermore, advancements in battery and charging technologies, as
well as battery price reductions, have spurred demand for electric cars. As a
result, the surge in electric vehicle usage is anticipated to have a
substantial impact on the fuel tank market in years ahead.
