The global liquified petroleum gas (LPG) market is expected to grow at a com-pound annual growth rate of 4.91% over the forecast period to reach a market size of US$153.146 billion in 2026 from US$109.493 billion in 2020. LPG is a by-product of propane and butane, and mainly extracted through refineries (crude oil) or natural gas (propane and butane’s by-product), which differs area to area, such as in North America, majority of supply of LPG is from natural gases, where United States and Canada are the major exporters of LPG, and that in Asia Pacific is from refineries’ extraction. At global level, the ma-jority of extraction of LPG in the market is from natural gas, mainly contributed by North Amer-ica, Europe, Middle East. Considering the different methods of extraction (natural gas and re-finery), the natural gas process is more appealing as it involves a gas separation facility, which extracts the LPG easily and cost-effectively, whereas the refineries involve high installation cost of liquefaction process. The distribution of LPG can be done through tankers, drums, or pipelines, depending on the logistics and demand of the good.

Liquified petroleum gas is a clean fuel, cost effective in use and an environment friendly sub-stitute for the gasoline and diesel in the market that is boosting the demand for the LPG. The major drivers for the global LPG market are increase in consumption of LPG due to increase in population growth, government initiatives to use the cleaner fuel, industrialization, and urban-ization, increasing investments in developing countries, and improving R&D. While, the storage issue of LPG, irregular domestic supply of LPG, high installation cost of LPG to liquefaction pro-cess are the major restraints in this market. Due to the properties of LPG such as highly in-flammable and so on creates the problem for the suppliers to store it and supply it according-ly. Among the application segment, the residential and commercial segments are the dominant segments globally due to the increasing investments and increase in urbanization and indus-trialization. Since people’s preference towards traditional uses of fuel and government initia-tives has been boosting the demand for the LPG worldwide.

Covid-19 impact

The pandemic covid-19 has adversely impacted the global demand for LPG in the market, es-pecially in commercial sector, and hence, impacted the growth rate of it. On the other side, the residential demand for personal consumption purposes such as household cooking has in-creased. Overall, the increasing demand for the LPG has projected a positive growth in upcom-ing period. Due to lockdowns, the demand of LPG in Europe continues to affect adversely in the market. In other regions, several players are entering into the market with the aim to fulfill the demand for LPG. US and Russia are expanding in the LPG market to acquire the significant market share.

Growth of SMEs

Some under-construction projects of NGL are Arbuckle II, Front Range Expansion, Texas Ex-press Expansion, Mariner East 2X, and Lone Star Express Expansion that are projected to be operational by 2020. Some developed projects that will be operational by 2022. The marine industry has the significant growth for LPG market in the upcoming future as LPG is becoming popular as a marine fuel in shipping industry. All these upcoming projects, and boom in sale oil US is going make the US as the top supplier and producer of the crude oil in the market and hence, the top supplier of the LPG as well. This increase in supply (along with the increase in demand) also helps to maintain the prices of LPG in the market and hence, creates a poten-tial demand and growth for the same in the future.

Asia Pacific to witness lucrative growth.

Asia Pacific is predicted to have an attractive region for global LPG market, as due to increas-ing population in this region, the demand for the LPG is booming in there, especially in China, India, and Japan.

Also, the investments in industrialization and urbanization in these developing countries is increasing due to cost-effectiveness is driving the growth of demand of LPG in forecast period in Asia Pacific region. Apart from it, government initiatives to promote the LPG for cooking in-stead of conventional fuels to reduce the harmful gases into the environment.
