Global LNG market analysis 2014-2017 & 2025

The global LNG market is expected to reach US$20.6 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 12.7%.

Rising focus on development and expanding gas pipeline infrastructure and growing demand for natural gas from downstream sectors is a crucial driving factor for the industry.

Decreasing LNG prices along with execution of favourable government rules and regulations, which are attracting FDIs & tax schemes are also conducive to industry growth. Cumulative emphasis of adequate support infrastructure in numerous economies is anticipated to enhance product demand in the construction sector, since the product is used in building equipment.

On the contrary, insufficient channel infrastructure is supplementing demand for small scale projects to source natural gas for key consumers in remote areas, specifically in the power generation and industrial manufacturing verticals. Rapid urbanisation, industrialisation and increasing projects supporting power, gas & petrochemical distribution are projected to positively provide stimulus to the industry.

Power generation accounted for 46% of the volume share in 2016, and is anticipated to grow at over 6.9% CAGR from 2017 to 2025. Power generation plants are gradually shifting from naphtha-based feedstock towards LNG in order to provide cost-competitiveness and enhanced delivery times while also receiving support in the form of favourable regulations encouraging these trends.
