The liquefied natural gas market report by Transparency Market Research
provides an in-depth analysis of the global liquefied natural gas industry.
The report segments the market on the basis of end-users and regions, and also
provides forecasts and estimates for each end-user. The report analyzes demand
and supply characteristics of the market by providing a detailed forecast and
analysis of volume and revenue for the period from 2013 to 2019.
Liquefied natural gas market primarily comprises three end-users: industrial
sector, electric power and others. Industrial sector is anticipated to be one
of the most dominant sectors in terms of demand for LNG. Various industries
such as plastics, fertilizers and chemicals use LNG to run different
processes. It is the preferred fuel for industrial sector in many parts of the
world due to low carbon intensity and negligible emissions as compared to coal
and oil. Many countries have enforced strict regulations to use cleaner fuel
and power sources in industries in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Transition from conventional fuels to LNG can help industries save significant
capital and reap all the associated economic and environmental benefits.
Demand for LNG in the electric power sector is high due to global warming
awareness and high demand for electricity. LNG is more economical and
environment-friendly than traditional fuels such as coal and diesel. It also
holds an added advantage of having a long-term fixed pricing structure. LNG
has established itself as a suitable alternative to diesel in the electric
power generation market. High calorific value of LNG in comparison to charcoal
and hard coal makes it a prominent fuel in the power generation market. Other
sectors such as transportation and commercial are also the major consumers of
LNG. Rising fuel prices and depleting natural oil and gas reserves are driving
the demand for cleaner and green fuels. Conventional fuels such as diesel and
petrol emit high amount of COx on combustion. This raises the overall carbon
footprint. However, LNG is comparatively cleaner and emits less COx and SOx.
Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World (RoW) are the major geographical
areas covered in the report. Each geographical region has been segmented
further on the basis of technology. Volume forecasts and estimates for each
segment have been provided for the period from 2013 to 2019.
The report also provides thorough analysis and revenue of companies such as
Apache Corporation, BG Group Plc, Cheniere Energy Inc, ConocoPhillips,
Dominion Resources Inc, Kinder Morgan Inc, Qatar Petroleum, Sempra Energy,
Veresen Inc and Woodside Petroleum Ltd. These companies are likely to dominate
the liquefied natural gas market. The report provides a detailed analysis of
various factors influencing liquefied natural gas industry with the help of
Porter's five forces analysis. The analysis also helps understand the degree
of competition prevalent in the market. The report also analyzes the value
chain and various drivers and restraints of the liquefied natural gas market.
