Global Natural Gas Storage Market Insights

Global Natural Gas Storage Market size was valued at USD 8.99 billion in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 9.4 billion in 2023 to USD 13.36 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

Since natural gas burns cleaner than other fossil fuels, it has become a major main source of energy. It is widely used in many applications, highlighting how important energy security is by storing it in diverse ways. During times of low demand, natural gas is stored, and during times of high demand, it is pulled out. Weather conditions have a big impact on how much natural gas is consumed, especially in the winter when it's utilised for space heating in homes and businesses. Natural gas that is provided in excess during the summer must be accessible to satisfy the increased demand during the winter, and this is where stored natural gas comes in. Storage of natural gas provides energy security against catastrophic events that might disrupt output. Natural gas storage is widely used by industry participants for commercial objectives in addition to performing those functions. Natural gas storage is crucial because of this and a number of other factors, including the benefits of gas.

US Natural Gas Storage Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Global Natural Gas Storage Market Segmental Analysis

The natural gas storage market is segmented based on the type and region. Based on the type, the natural gas storage market is segmented as above ground storage and underground storage. Based on region, Natural Gas Storage Market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and MEA.

Natural Gas Storage Market Analysis by Type

The two types of natural gas storage—aboveground storage and underground storage—can be broadly categorised. Since it takes up less space than gaseous natural gas, liquified natural gas (LNG) may be used for the transportation and distribution of natural gas in above-ground storage. Aquifers, salt caverns, and depleted gas reserves are other categories for underground storage. The most typical kind of storage facility is a depleted gas reservoir since it can store natural gas for future use and can remove gas quickly. As they are economically viable, underground storage locations are frequently employed for depleted oil and natural gas reserves. Aquifers are porous rock formations that function as natural water bodies because they are permeable. These natural water bodies can be converted to store natural gas under specific circumstances. Aquifers are often used in places without depleted gas reserves since they are expensive to construct. The salt cavern, which provides the ability to store natural gas, is an artificial hollow made by injecting water to dissolve the salt.

The underground storage type's depleted reservoir segment held the biggest market share in 2019 at 77.4%. One of the earliest and most common types of gas storage is in depleted reservoirs. Formations known as depleted reservoirs have previously had all of their recoverable natural gas extracted from them. About 50% of the natural gas in the formation has to be preserved as cushion gas in order to sustain pressure in depleted reservoirs. Due to the infrastructure already in place for gas storage, these reservoirs have mostly been utilised for this purpose. They offer a lengthy gas cycle of 70 to 200 days and a moderate gas supply.

Global Natural Gas Storage Market Regional Insights

North American, European, Asian Pacific, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and African regions make up the segments of the global natural gas storage market. Through a pipeline, the United States sells a sizable amount of natural gas to Canada and Mexico, as well as being a net exporter to a number of other nations. The widespread use of natural gas for space heating in residential and commercial buildings as a result of the inclement weather is anticipated to lead to an increase in natural gas storage in North America. Due to the plentiful market availability and suitable regulatory environment, Europe is anticipated to show a substantial growth rate for natural gas storage. Strict environmental regulations and the adoption of energy-saving measures have boosted the consumption of natural gas, which has highlighted the need for natural gas storage for energy security. The fastest-growing and one of the biggest consumers of fossil fuels is Asia Pacific. Extensive industrialization, urbanisation, and economic expansion all contribute to the need for natural gas storage. A significant rise in the Middle East is anticipated due to rising energy consumption.

Global Natural Gas Storage Market Dynamics

Natural Gas Storage Market Driver

  • Natural gas is the most economical and widely used fuel, making it the most ecologically benign kind of energy available. It also burns cleaner than other types of fossil fuels, enabling the expansion of natural gas storage. The market for natural gas storage is driven by the need for storage to provide energy security and fulfil the rising demand for natural gas...

Natural Gas Storage Market Restraint

  • In order to store natural gas in a regulated environment, a rigorous infrastructure is required. To stop leaks from storage tanks, a significant amount of money must be spent on operation and maintenance tasks on a regular basis. Due to the high cost of natural gas storage and the limited transmission capacity, there are expected to be limitations on the market's expansion.
