Asia Pacific LNG Industry
Industry performance section covers the current & future prospects of demand & supply, LNG trade for Asia Pacific LNG market. Japan remains the largest importer of LNG in the world but is showing growth retardation with the emergence of newer markets. The factors contributing to the growth include, declining liquefaction cost, energy market reforms & energy security. However, inadequate gas transmission and distribution networks remain the major challenges for the LNG market.
Key Findings
- During the years 1995-2004, demand for LNG increased at a relatively faster pace in Atlantic market as compared to Asia Pacific market. Owing to this increase in demand supply of LNG is likely to shift to Atlantic market in the near future.
- Though there has been a slower growth rate in Japan compared with other Asian LNG markets, however the country still remains the largest importer of LNG.
- While most LNG long-term contracts are 20 or more years longer, medium term (three-ten years long) contracts also came into execution in recent years.
- The next potential markets for LNG are China & India.
