Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Market - Segmentation Assessment
Segment Overview Technavio has segmented the market based on source (natural gas liquid and crude oil), end-user (residential, petrochemical, industrial and commercial, transport, and others), and geography (APAC, North America, Europe, South America, and Middle East and Africa).
The market share growth of the natural gas liquid segment is significant for the growth of the global LPG market during the forecast period. Liquefied Petroleum Gas is derived from natural gas liquid (NGL). It is a clean and effective energy source used for transportation, industrial applications, cooking, and heating. Demand for NGL has increased as a result of the growing demand for LPG, particularly in the residential market. The NGL production and refining capacity also needs to be increased, as well as the creation of new extraction technologies to meet the increasing demand. Hence, the development of new extraction and refining technologies, along with the expanding availability of NGL and augmentation in demand for the NGL segment, is anticipated to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Geography Overview
By geography, the global liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) market is segmented into APAC, North America, Europe, South America, and Middle East and Africa. The report provides actionable insights and estimates the contribution of all regions to the growth of the global liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) market.
APAC is estimated to contribute to 42% of the global LPG market growth during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to factors such as the increasing demand for LPG from sectors such as residential and petrochemical. China, India, and Japan are the major contributing countries to the LPG market in the APAC region. The companies with production bases in Taiwan and South Korea have switched to LPG as feedstock. This is because the products compete on a marginal basis with naphtha. Approximately 58% of all US propane shipments traveled to Asian countries between April and November 2020. Hence, factors such as rising urbanization, a growing middle-class population, and pro-user government policies are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
