Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a type of natural gas, cooled to -260° Fahrenheit. At this temperature gas changes to a liquid form. LNG is colorless, odorless, non-corrosive, and non-toxic. The liquefaction process is used for elimination of certain components such as acid gases, dust, helium, water, and heavy hydrocarbons, which could cause difficulties in use. Primary motive for conversion of natural gas into liquefied natural gas is for feasible transportation as pipelines are not feasible technically and economically.

Rising demand for liquefied natural gas by various end-use industries such as transportation, power generation, and mining is a key factor driving growth of the global liquefied natural gas market. Additionally, growing awareness about benefits related to use of liquefied natural gas as an alternative to fossil fuels, and increasing adoption of liquefied natural gas as a clean energy source among individuals in developed and developing economies are other factors expected to boost growth of the global liquefied natural gas market over the forecast period.

However, high installation cost associated with liquefaction process of natural gas is a major factor restraining growth of the global liquefied natural gas market. In addition, lack of skilled workforce, and high maintenance and handling costs are some other factors anticipated to hamper growth of the global liquefied natural gas market over the forecast period.

Currently, the market in North America accounts for largest market share in terms of revenue as compared to that of markets in other regions. This can be attributed to increasing production and exploration activities in countries in the region. The market in Asia Pacific is projected to witness fastest growth over the forecast period, owing to rising demand for clean energy sources in emerging economies such as China, India, etc. Also, market in Middle East is projected to show moderate growth over the forecast period, owing to increasing number of exports of liquefied natural gas from countries in the region.
