Planned LNG Market Statistics - 2030
The global planned LNG market was valued at $102.2 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $58.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.9% from 2020 to 2030. Inclusion of regasification and liquefaction capacity at LNG terminals is known as planned LNG. Liquefaction can be defined as the physical transformation of gas into liquid. This liquefaction of gas is processed by compression, or by refrigeration, or both in combination. Regasification is a process of transforming liquid LNG into gaseous form. In this process, heat exchangers are used for increasing the temperature of LNG.
The planned LNG market is anticipated to witness significant growth due to numerous factors such as technological advancement, rise in demand for LNG from Asia-Pacific, and others. The liquefied natural gas industry is transforming with the development of technology and the rise of new demand sources. Technological advancement makes the production, liquefaction, and storage of LNG gas achievable at offshore. Floating liquefaction is a relatively new technology, as compared to floating regasification, which has rapidly established itself in the market. However, delay in LNG project is one of the major factors hindering the planned LNG market growth. Most of the LNG projects were going to start its operation in 2020 but there is a delay, owing to outbreak of COVID-19. On the contrary, demand from various types of end users is increasing the consumer base of LNG and providing lucrative opportunities to the market. Asia-Pacific was the largest importer of LNG in 2019; however, the COVID-19 virus outbreak has negatively impacted the demand for LNG. Furthermore, there is a decline in the demand for LNG from China in 2020, and it is anticipated to be the same for other countries as the virus continues to spread. This is attributed to factors such as lower activity of the industrial and commercial sectors.
The planned LNG market is segmented on the basis of technology, end-use industry, and region. By technology, the market is divided into liquefaction and regasification. The end-use industry covered in the study includes residential, commercial, and industrial. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

In addition, in October 2019, Sempra Energy signed an agreement with Mitsui & Co. Ltd. This agreement aimed at future expansion of the Energía Costa Azul (ECA) LNG project in Baja California, Mexico, and will grow U.S. LNG export.
Planned LNG Market, by Technology
By technology, liquefaction has garnered high share in the market in 2019. This is attributed to increase in new liquefaction terminals or expansion of liquefaction capacity in major exporting countries such as the U.S., Qatar, Australia, and others. In addition, an onshore regasification terminal accounted for the highest market share in 2019. This is attributed to factors such as longer-term supply security, greater storage capacity, less operating expenditure, and others.
By Technology
Liquefaction is projected as the most lucrative segment.
Planned LNG Market, by End-Use Industry
On the basis of end-use industry, the industrial sector has garnered highest market share in 2019. This is attributed to increase in demand for LNG from industrial sector, owing to rise in concerns regarding pollution. For instance, some of the countries in developed and developing region reduced its dependency on coal for power generation due to rise in pollution levels.
By Application
Industrial is projected as the most lucrative segment.
Planned LNG Market, by Region
Region wise, Asia-Pacific has garnered highest share in planned LNG market in 2019. The LNG regasification capacity is more in the Asia-Pacific region due to the presence of largest LNG importing countries such as Japan, South Korea, China, and India. China is anticipated to become largest importer of LNG in coming years, owing to rise in demand from industrial sector. In addition, North America has the second highest market share. U.S. is one of the largest exporters of LNG, owing to factors such as increase in natural gas production; decrease in natural gas imports by pipeline, decrease in LNG imports, and expansion of LNG export terminal capacity.
By Region
Asia-Pacific holds a dominant position in 2019 and would continue to maintain the lead over the forecast period.
