Asia Pacific LNG Infrastructure Market Size (2024 - 2029)

The Asia Pacific LNG infrastructure market is experiencing growth driven by rising demand in sectors such as bunkering, road transportation, and off-grid power, alongside reduced capital expenditure requirements. Despite challenges posed by nuclear energy and renewable technologies, the market is poised for expansion due to a significant supply-demand imbalance in non-OECD Asian countries, which is expected to create opportunities for market participants. The China region, in particular, is leading the market and is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace, fueled by substantial long-term LNG import contracts.

APAC LNG infrastructure Market Analysis

The Asia Pacific LNG infrastructure market is projected to register a CAGR of over 6.5% during the forecast period (2022-2027).

The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Presently the market has now reached pre-pandemic levels.

  • Increasing demand for LNG in bunkering, road transportation, and off-grid power sectors, along with lower CAPEX requirements for LNG, is expected to drive the growth of the market studied.
  • On the other hand, nuclear energy production and renewable technology developments in various regions are major restraints for the market.
  • Nevertheless, as per the Energy Information Administration (EIA), non-OECD Asian countries like China, India, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Vietnam are expected to consume 120 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of natural gas by 2050, outpacing regional natural gas production by 50 bcf/d. The supply imbalance in the region is likely to result in increasing dependency on the other regard ions, which is expected to create an excellent opportunity for the market players in the forecast period, as these projects are paving the way for the line pipe industry to grow more.
  • China region dominates the market and is also likely to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The LNG import was around 12 million tons in 2020, which increased to 79 million tons in 2021. Due to this surge in demand, China became the world's largest LNG importer, surpassing Japan. The increased demand is due to Chinese LNG buyers signing long-term contracts for more than 20 million tons a year.

APAC LNG infrastructure Industry Segmentation

LNG is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state, at about -260° Fahrenheit, for shipping and storage. The volume of natural gas in its liquid state is about 600 times smaller than its volume in its gaseous state. This process makes it possible to transport natural gas to places pipelines do not reach. The LNG infrastructure market is segmented by type and region. By type, the market is segmented into regasification terminals and liquefication terminals. The report also covers the market size and forecasts for the LNG infrastructure market across major countries. for each segment, the market sizing and forecasts have been done based on revenue (USD billion).

Asia Pacific LNG Infrastructure Market Size Summary

The Asia Pacific LNG infrastructure market is experiencing a robust growth trajectory, driven by increasing demand for liquefied natural gas across various sectors such as bunkering, road transportation, and off-grid power. The market has rebounded to pre-pandemic levels after the setbacks caused by COVID-19. The region's growing energy needs, particularly in non-OECD countries like China, India, and Vietnam, are expected to outpace local natural gas production, creating a significant opportunity for LNG infrastructure development. However, the market faces challenges from the advancements in nuclear energy and renewable technologies, which could potentially restrain its growth. Despite these challenges, the demand for LNG is bolstered by its lower capital expenditure requirements compared to other energy sources, making it an attractive option for energy security and diversification.

China stands out as a dominant player in the Asia Pacific LNG infrastructure market, with its rapid increase in LNG imports positioning it as the world's largest importer. The country's strategic investments in LNG infrastructure, including regasification terminals, are expected to support its growing energy demands, particularly in the transportation and power generation sectors. The development of LNG fueling stations and the adoption of LNG as a low-carbon alternative to diesel fuel for heavy trucks are key drivers of market expansion. The fragmented market landscape includes major players such as JGC Holdings Corporation, Chiyoda Corporation, and Bechtel Corporation, who are actively involved in expanding LNG infrastructure. Collaborative efforts, such as those between Pavilion Energy and Zhejiang Hangjiaxin Clean Energy, highlight the ongoing initiatives to enhance LNG supply and infrastructure in the region.
