Natural Gas Storage market: Segmented by underground storage type (Depleted Gas Reservoir, Aquifer Reservoir, Salt Caverns); by Type (Underground, Above Ground, and Floating) and Region - Global Analysis of Market Size, Share & Trends for 2019-2020 and Forecasts to 2030
Natural Gas Storage market to surpass USD 1274 billion by 2030 from USD 790 billion in 2020 at a CAGR of 7.6 % in the coming years, i.e., 2021-30.
Natural gas storage is critical for maintaining the supply reliability required to fulfill customer needs. Natural gas was a controlled commodity a decade ago, and storage was included in the bundled product delivered by pipelines to distribution companies. Later, this was deregulated, and anyone looking for storage for commercial or operational purposes could use it. Gas storage is typically utilized to fulfill seasonal demand; during periods of low demand, gas is stored, and during seasons of peak/high demand, it is removed from storage. Underground natural gas storage and above-ground natural gas storage are the two types of natural gas storage available.
Increased demand for natural gas storage in the United States is expected to drive market expansion, owing to the growing importance of depleted reservoir storage. Growing natural gas production, together with increased seasonal demand from a variety of end-use applications and industrial sectors in the region, is expected to drive market expansion in the coming years.
Global Natural Gas Storage Market is segmented by Type into Underground, Above Ground, and Floating. In 2020, the underground storage type had the biggest market share of XX percent. Natural gas, like most other commodities, may be kept for an extended period of time. Natural gas exploration and production typically take time. Furthermore, natural gas that arrives at its destination is not necessarily used right once, therefore it is held in storage facilities, most commonly underground. Underground natural gas storages have become a critical component of energy supply during peak seasons, especially in Europe and North America. A constant and consistent production contrasts with erratic consumption and demand, which follows a seasonal cycle based on the weather. Because of the enormous demand for underground natural gas on the global market, the rate of consumption has been steadily increasing.
Global Natural Gas Storage market is divided by underground storage type into Depleted Gas Reservoir, Aquifer Reservoir, Salt Caverns. In 2020, the depleted reservoir segment had the biggest market share of XX percent for underground storage. One of the oldest and most common types of gas storage is depleted reservoirs. Depleted reservoirs are formations that have had all of their recoverable natural gas extracted. In depleted reservoirs, around half of the natural gas in the formation must be preserved as cushion gas to sustain pressure. These reservoirs are mostly used for gas storage because they already have the infrastructure in place. They deliver moderate amounts of gas over a lengthy period of time, ranging from 70 to 200 days.
Spurring demand in US
Increased demand for natural gas storage in the United States is expected to drive market expansion, owing to the growing importance of depleted reservoir storage. Growing natural gas production, together with increased seasonal demand from a variety of end-use applications and industrial sectors in the region, is expected to drive market expansion in the coming years.
Favorable government policies
Government rules favoring low-carbon fuels over other fossil fuels are expected to continue to be a positive driver in natural gas demand growth. Furthermore, technical developments combined with increased awareness of natural gas as a clean fuel will drive demand even higher.
Technical issue related to the storage
The market for natural gas is projected to be stymied by the cyclical and unpredictable nature of natural gas production, as well as a supply and demand imbalance. The technological constraints associated with storage systems are one of the challenges in the global natural gas storage market's growth. The high expense of transporting gas from a far storage point to a consumption hub will make subterranean gas storage facilities less popular.

Global Natural Gas Storage Market is segmented based on regional analysis into five major regions: North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. Global Natural Gas Storage market in North America held the largest market share of XX% in the year 2020. In 2020, North America accounted for over XX% of global market share. Due to increased exploration and production activity in the region, as well as rising seasonal demand for natural gas, it is expected to maintain its leadership position. Due to rising demand from end-use industries, Asia Pacific is predicted to grow at the quickest rate from 2020 to 2030. Due to rapidly developing end-user applications in these countries, China and India are among the region's major marketplaces. To meet demand, several economies with less indigenous natural gas output use natural gas storage. Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia are examples of such countries.
