Global Small-Scale LNG Market - 2023-2030

Global Small-Scale LNG Market - 2023-2030

Market Overview

The global small-scale LNG market reached US$ XX million in 2022 and is projected to witness lucrative growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2030. The market is growing at a CAGR of 10.4% during the forecast period (2023-2030).

A set of logistical procedures used to handle small/medium amounts of liquefied natural gas is known as small-scale LNG (SSLNG). LNG and Bio-LNG are primarily supplied by SSLNG logistics to the heavy-duty road, sea, and rail transportation industries. SSLNG makes it possible to deliver LNG to customers in the transportation, industrial, and power-generating sectors effectively without having to produce it in the customary quantities associated with large-scale LNG production.

Market Dynamics

The rising environmental regulations

The World Health Organization estimates that air pollution results in 6.7 million premature deaths each year. To address the issue, many countries have implemented regulations that restrict air pollution. For instance, the amount of nitrogen oxide and particulate matter that power plants and other sources are allowed to produce is restricted by the European Union.

The proliferation of environmental restrictions has a considerable impact on the small-scale LNG industry. Demand for cleaner fuels is increasing as a result of regulations. Many countries and industries are finding small-scale LNG facilities to be a desirable option, which is fueling industry expansion.

High costs of product

The price volatility may force the abandonment of small-scale LNG projects. Due to the substantial financial commitment they normally entail and the potential for price volatility, small-scale LNG projects can be difficult for investors to evaluate in terms of profitability. If LNG prices dropped significantly and became unprofitable, a small-scale LNG production might be abandoned.

Price volatility can lead to high market competition because buyers and sellers may be reluctant to make a deal due to pricing uncertainty. Prices for LNG are negotiated bilaterally between buyers and sellers rather than having a single global benchmark price, which can make it difficult for market participants to determine the genuine market worth of LNG.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 analysis includes Pre-COVID Scenario, COVID Scenario and Post-COVID Scenario along with pricing dynamics (including pricing change during and post-pandemic comparing it with pre-COVID scenarios), demand-supply spectrum (shift in demand and supply owing to trading restrictions, lockdown and subsequent issues), government initiatives (initiatives to revive market, sector or industry by government bodies) and manufacturers strategic initiatives (what manufacturers did to mitigate the COVID issues will be covered here).

Segment Analysis

The global small-scale LNG market is segmented based on type, application and region.

The flexibility in regasification

Regasification segment is anticipated to be the fastest-growing type in the small-scale LNG market during the forecast period. The process of returning liquefied natural gas (LNG) to a gaseous condition, where it can be more easily transported through pipelines or utilized as fuel, is known as regasification. The process of regasifying LNG in smaller volumes, often on the size of several thousand cubic meters per day, which is ideal for usage in industries or isolated places where large-scale infrastructure is not available, is known as small-scale LNG regasification.

Geographical Analysis

The rising environmental concerns in Europe

Europe is anticipated to be the second dominant region in the small-scale LNG industry. The production, distribution and consumption of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in smaller amounts, primarily for use in transportation, power generation, and other industries, is referred to as the small-scale LNG industry in Europe.

Increasing environmental concerns, governmental regulations, energy security, cost competitiveness, and industrial demand are some of the reasons that are driving the market growth. Since Europe imports a significant amount of natural gas from outside the region, small-scale LNG is a desirable alternative for diversifying its energy mix and lowering its reliance on imports.

Competitive Landscape

The major global players in the market are Linde PLC, Wärtsilä, Baker Hughes Company, Honeywell International Inc., Chart Industries, Black & Veatch Holding Company, Anthony Veder, Shell Global, Engie, and Eni S.p.A.
