Large Scale LNG Terminal Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Technology (Liquefaction, Regasification), By Location (Onshore, Offshore), By Application (Residential, Commercial, Industrial) and By Regional Forecast, 2024-2032
KEY MARKET INSIGHTS
Natural gas is usually transported by sea over long distances in the form of LNG and the large scale terminals are exclusively built for import and export of LNG. The large scale LNG terminals are also used for storage, liquefaction and regasification of LNG shipped from production zones. LNG is stored in large scale terminals and is pumped into the transport network as per demand. The increase in number of suppliers and buyers has also had a positive impact on the large scale LNG terminal market.
On the basis of technology, large scale LNG terminal market can be segmented into liquefaction and regasification. The regasification terminals currently dominate the large scale LNG terminal market. On the basis of the location of storage large scale terminal market can be segmented into onshore, and offshore. Floating storage and regasification units (FSRU) require less cost and time for construction which has led to increasing in their usage throughout the world. On the basis of their applications, large scale LNG terminals can be segmented into residential, commercial and industrial. The application of LNG in the transport sector has been rising, seeing LNG as a substitute fuel for petrol and diesel.
Increase in energy demand all over the world is the key market driver for large scale LNG terminal market. Also with the emission control norms becoming increasingly strict all over the world, which has compelled industrial, domestic and commercial sectors to switch towards a clean fuel like LNG which is cleaner and economical to use, will act as a key market driver for large scale LNG terminal market.
