The onshore LNG terminal market surpassed USD 5.4 billion in 2022 on account of the growing demand for natural gas primarily across the Asia Pacific subcontinent. The expansion also included the construction of new regasification terminals to accommodate increased LNG imports. The development of small-scale terminals for localized energy needs including industrial applications, power generation in remote areas, and as a bunker fuel for ships will also boost the industry growth.
Additionally, the integration of power generation facilities, creating LNG-to-power projects along with development of gas-based infrastructure primarily across the Southeast Asian nations will propel the business landscape. Technological advancements in regasification processes improved efficiency and lowered operational costs will positively influence the business outlook.
Asia Pacific LNG terminal market size is anticipated to reach USD 4.5 billion by 2032. Significant economic transformation along with robust urbanization across the developing nations including India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and others will provide significant growth across the region. This has led to higher energy demand for industrial processes, power generation, and urban infrastructure, driving the need for LNG imports to meet this demand.
Furthermore, rising population, and industrialization have contributed to higher energy consumption in the region. LNG, with its flexibility, lower emissions, and relatively cleaner profile compared to coal, has been seen as a viable solution to address energy security and environmental concerns. The government organization, private players are also investing heavily toward expansion of LNG import infrastructure, including the construction of new regasification terminals and the expansion of existing ones, which will provide significant growth.
