This report can be delivered to the clients within 8 Business Days
Shale Gas Market Growth & Trends
The global shale gas market size is expected treach USD 127.8 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.9% from 2025 t2030, according ta new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising demand for cleaner combustion energy sources in several end-use applications is likely tdrive the market over the forecast period.
Profitable production of shale gas, a natural gas trapped in shale formations, relies on accessible demand for it. It has technical characteristics that make it a very useful and flexible fuel, where the delivery infrastructure exists, and it has found uses in the building thermal sector, industrial thermal sector, and power generation. Recent macroeconomic shifts along with fuel supply competitive dynamics have caused the proportions tfavor shale gas usage in power generation more and industrial usage less.
Shale gas contributes substantial energy telectricity generation and second only tcoal in terms of the share of energy supply in global electricity generation. This share is expected tgrow over the next few decades in response tthe economic and environmental limits of coal generation, at least where natural gas is a viable alternative. This end-use application is expected tdrive the market over the forecast period.
The shale gas supply chain includes production and processing, gas transmission and storage, and distribution tcity gate, large volume customers, residential customers, and commercial customers. Development of hydraulic fracturing technology along with horizontal drilling technique is expected tboost economical production of shale gas, thereby strengthening the upstream segment of the supply chain.
