Abstract
RNCOS' “European LNG Market Analysis” report provides research and objective analysis on LNG Market in European region. This report helps clients to analyze the opportunities, critical success factors and potential markets for LNG in Europe.
European LNG Industry
Industry performance section covers the current and future prospects of demand and supply, LNG trade for European LNG market. As per research, Spain remains the largest importer of LNG in the Europe. Spain will be potential exporting LNG market for LNG due to expected strong demand in future.
Key Findings
- Supply demand imbalance of natural gas will drive the future growth of LNG industry in European region.
- Spain and Italy are expected to be the major potential markets for the LNG importing nations.
- From longer-term perspective, supply is expected to shift towards Atlantic market where demand grew at a faster pace as compared to Asia Pacific market during 1995 - 2004. This trend is likely to continue due to rapid increase demand in western world.
- Energy security, environmental policies and declining costs will remain the major forces for the development of European LNG industry.
- Limited indigenous sources at country level in Europe will encourage the LNG imports in future.
