Small scale LNG Market is Expected to Grow at a CAGR of 2.5% from 2018 to 2022

Market Scenario

The energy sector is facing issues owing to strict regulations against climate change, widening supply and demand gap, rising concern relating to cleaner and sustainable source of energy, and depleting fossil resources. Natural gas is sustainable energy source. However, the source faces storage issues as the volume of natural gas is high. To solve this problem, natural gas is converted to liquid form at liquefaction terminals, for ease of transportation. At the destination of end use, the liquefied gas is again converted to gas at regasification terminals. Globally, the number of liquefaction & regasification terminals are increasing, given the increasing demand for energy fuel.

The government initiatives that focus on providing cleaner fuel, is driving the market, especially in countries such as India and China. The market is further driven by the growing adoption of LNG for heavy duty transportation purposes in the Europe and North American regions. However, the growth of this market can be restrained by the extensive investment required to construct LNG storage plants and fluctuation in global gas market prices.

Segments

Global small-scale LNG market has been segmented on the basis of mode of supply, type, application, and region. Based on type, the market is further segmented into liquefaction and regasification terminals. Liquefaction terminal segments holds larger market share due to increasing natural gas storage infrastructure. On the basis of mode of supply, global small-scale LNG market is classified as Trucks, Trans-shipment and Bunkering, Captive Consumption through Pipeline & Rail. The trans-shipment and Bunkering market is prominent in the market due to booming shipping industry. Based on applications, the market is segmented as utilities, residential, industrial & commercial, marine, and transportation.

Market Research Analysis

Europe and the North America regions are investing heavily for developing the LNG gas infrastructure. In Europe, there has been significant increase in demand for LNG, especially in countries such as UK, France and Italy. Continuous adaptation from countries to switch to cleaner fuels for power generation and in transportation sector is essentially driving the growth of LNG market in the region. New climate change regulations and requirement by transport authorities to reduce carbon emissions from fleet operations, are driving the use of LNG.

Asia-Pacific is expected to be the largest market for LNG, especially because of countries such as China and India in the region. For providing power in remote locations, LNG is increasingly used because of its clean and low emission properties that are further supported by government commitments to change to LNG based economies. These countries are increasingly investing in LNG infrastructure and there is adequate availability of LNG through subsidized schemes and distribution network.
