Liquefied Petroleum Gas Industry

The global liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) market was valued at USD 117.3 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% from 2023 to 2030. This growth is primarily driven by increasing awareness of the benefits of LPG as a substitute for traditional fossil fuels and the rising adoption of clean and renewable energy sources across both developed and developing nations. Governments have launched various initiatives to educate rural populations on the advantages of switching to LPG from traditional cooking fuels such as kerosene, wood, and coal, which is expected to significantly contribute to the market's growth. Furthermore, the expanding global population and the increasing demand for LPG as a vehicle emission gas are also likely to fuel market growth. However, the high cost associated with installing liquefaction process equipment and technology may pose challenges and limit demand during the forecast period.

Governments in countries like India, Indonesia, and China have been promoting the use of LPG, particularly as a cleaner and more efficient cooking fuel, which is anticipated to further drive market expansion in the coming years. In the United Kingdom, LPG is increasingly seen as a viable option for commercial properties, particularly when combined with low-carbon and renewable technologies, to provide year-round electricity with notable carbon savings. Additionally, advancements in research and development within the LPG industry are expected to further support the growth of the market over the forecast period.
