Market Trends of LNG Terminal Industry

This section covers the major market trends shaping the LNG Terminals Market according to our research experts:

Floating Storage Regasification Unit to Witness Huge Growth

Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) is constructed under a leasing contract. Capital expenditure (CAPEX) investment in such projects is much lower compared to what is required in an onshore facility. However, In the long run, it is more profitable to go for an onshore facility as it requires lower maintenance.
Floating facilities are cheaper to build and, therefore, can become a bridge for entry of developing economies, in the use of natural gas, to provide clean energy to its citizens. The lower price of natural gas, especially after the shale gas boom, has made the market more suitable for developing economies.
Bangladesh built its first floating facility, in 2018, in the Bay of Bengal, named Moheshkhali, which is expected to help it to use natural gas to develop its economy.
The Floating facility segment is going to help more economies to join and, therefore, help rapidly increase the LNG Terminal Market in the forecast period of 2020-2025
