3. Market Leaders - Automotive Fuel Tank Market

The automotive fuel tank market is estimated to be USD 20.5 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 27.4 billion units by 2027, at a CAGR of 4.2%. The key growth drivers for the market are the need for lightweight vehicles for achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions, better fuel efficiency, longer driving range, and continuous investments and R&D activities by OEMs, fuel tank manufacturers, and governments toward the development of lightweight fuel tanks.

Collaborations/joint ventures/supply contracts/partnerships/agreements are the key strategies adopted by major players to gain traction in the automotive fuel tank market. For instance, Plastic Omnium acquired Optimum CPV, a Belgian company based in Zonhoven, which specializes in the design and production of composite filaments for high pressure hydrogen storage.

The second most widely followed strategy to gain traction in the automoitve fuel cell market by major market players is expansion. For instance, in May 2018, a US-based production subsidiary of Yachiyo Industry Co., Ltd. invested about USD 25 million to expand its plant building and install new forming equipment for plastic fuel tanks, which is likely to grow in demand.
