Fairfield Market Research projects a promising growth trajectory for the global liquefied natural gas (LNG) market in the forthcoming years. The market, anticipated to exceed a valuation of US$200 Bn by the end of 2030, is driven by the escalating demand for clean energy alternatives for electricity production. The growing emphasis on distributed power and utility initiatives is expected to catalyze market expansion. Additionally, the increasing utilization of natural gas for power generation is projected to generate heightened demand for LNG across various industries. With declining coal reserves and concerns over environmental impact, the adoption of natural gas and renewable energy sources for sustainable electricity generation is on the rise.

Key Report Findings
• The global liquefied natural gas market is projected to exceed US$200 Bn by 2030.
• Accelerated demand from multiple industries is driving market growth.
• Asia Pacific is anticipated to sustain a leading position in the global LNG market.
• The top five players in the global market are Apache Corporation, BG Group Plc, Veresen Inc, Cheniere Energy Inc, ConocoPhillips, and Exxon Mobil Corporation.

Growth Drivers
Rising Demand for Natural Gas from Oil and Gas Industry
The expanding production of liquefied natural gas is driving robust growth in the global LNG market. Advancements in global supply of coalbed methane, shale gas, and tight gas have made natural gas one of the fastest-growing fossil fuels. This surge in natural gas production, particularly in the United States with its shale oil and gas reserves, has resulted in increased LNG production. As a result, natural gas is expected to be converted into LNG for export to countries with limited domestic natural gas production. This surge in natural gas production and LNG exportation is propelling market growth.

Commoditization of LNG Unlocks Opportunities
The increased number of LNG producers and consumers has led to a rise in floating liquefaction and regasification plants, and sales of LNG. This has resulted in the commoditization of LNG, creating a more open, efficient, and liquid environment in the market. This development is also driving digitalization and transparency within the oil and gas industry.
The commoditization of LNG has made it a widely traded commodity, offering lucrative opportunities for stakeholders. The cost-effectiveness of LNG has prompted the shift from coal to natural gas, further accelerating trading activities and benefiting vendors. The improved interconnectivity and flexibility in LNG trading are expected to positively influence the global LNG market.

Overview of Key Segments
Power Generation Segment Takes the Lead
The power generation segment held the largest share of the global LNG market value in 2021. The rising demand for natural gas for power generation satisfies energy needs while reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions. The cost-effectiveness of natural gas as a fuel source has led to its extensive application in transportation and power generation sectors.

Regional Segment
Asia Pacific's Dominance Intact Being the Leading Exporter
Asia Pacific is projected to garner a major share in the global LNG market, with Australia as a prominent exporter. Significant LNG projects in Queensland and Western Australia have contributed to the region's position as a major LNG exporter. India is also expected to be an attractive destination for exporters and manufacturers due to a surge in LNG infrastructure development activities. Additionally, new LNG supply capacity projects are set to commence operations by 2025, further driving the LNG market in the region.

Europe, with the second-largest share in the global LNG market revenue, is influenced by the increasing population and growing demand for power generation from clean energy sources.

Key Market Entities
Prominent players in the LNG market include Apache Corporation, BG Group Plc, Veresen Inc, Cheniere Energy Inc, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Dominion Resources Inc, Kinder Morgan Inc, Qatar Petroleum, Sempra Energy, Royal Dutch Shell PLC, and Woodside Petroleum Ltd. These players specialize in specific sectors to establish a robust presence in the market.
