Expansion of Trade Routes Makes North America Significant Export Market

From a geographical standpoint, the global LPG market is divided into: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and South and Central America. Asia Pacific, among all, is expected to lead in terms of consumption accounting for 36.90% of the overall market by 2020.

North America is expected to emerge as a significant region for LPG production over the forecast period. The shale gas boom in the U.S. has led the country to account for significant export of LPG. In addition, the extension of the Panama Canal leading to its heavy use for movement of gas carrying vessels from North America is having a positive influence on this regional market.

The surplus production from the U.S. routed through Latin America is benefitting countries in these regions for commercial and residential demand for LPG. This is also benefitting Asia Pacific for cheap imports of LPG from the U.S., and giving an increased competition for export from the Middle East.

Key players operating in the global LPG market include SHV Energy N.V., Copagaz Distribuidora De Gas S.A., Repsol S.A., Kleenheat Gas Pty Ltd, China Gas Holdings Ltd., Royal Dutch Shell plc, Origin Energy, UGI Corp., British Petroleum plc, and Exxon Mobil Corp.
