Based on mode of transportation, the truck segment is poised to cross USD 1.1 billion by 2032 owing to the flexibility and cost-effectiveness it offers for transporting LNG to remote and inaccessible areas. Trucks provide unparalleled flexibility in delivering LNG to locations with limited or no access to pipeline infrastructure. They can navigate diverse terrains and reach remote or challenging areas where other modes of transportation might be impractical or costly to implement.
Based on end use, the industrial segment is anticipated to register more than 5.3% CAGR through 2032, on account of the increasing adoption of natural gas as a cleaner and more efficient fuel source across various industrial applications. Stringent environmental regulations aimed at reducing emissions and promoting cleaner energy sources are driving industries to transition away from conventional fuels towards cleaner alternatives like natural gas. LNG offers lower carbon emissions compared to coal or oil, making it a preferred choice for industries seeking to minimize their environmental footprint and comply with regulatory requirements.
North America LNG virtual pipeline market is likely to surpass USD 900 million by 2032 due to Advancements in LNG storage, transportation, and regasification technologies are enhancing the efficiency and safety of virtual pipeline systems in North America. Innovations such as small-scale liquefaction plants, mobile LNG storage units, and cryogenic transport containers are making LNG more accessible and cost-effective for a broader range of applications and markets.
Governments in North America and Canada are increasingly implementing policies to reduce carbon emissions and promote the use of cleaner energy sources. Natural gas, including LNG, is viewed as a transitional fuel that can help bridge the gap between conventional fossil fuels and renewable energy sources. As a result, there is growing support for LNG virtual pipelines as part of broader energy transition strategies.
