Global Small-Scale LNG Market 2024 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2030

Global Small-Scale LNG Market 2024 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2030


According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Small-Scale LNG market size was valued at USD 8599.6 million in 2023 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 16400 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 9.7% during review period.

Small-scale liquefied natural gas (SSLNG), a niche but nascent industry that is already profitable and scalable, boasts significant potential. It is well placed to meet the growing demand from the shipping and trucking industries for fuels that are more environmentally friendly than oil and diesel. SSLNG also enjoys advantages in addressing off-grid power generation for industrial and residential needs in remote locations. Because LNG burns more cleanly than other fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal, SSLNG is likely to gain further traction as market and regulatory pressures to transition to lower-carbon energy intensify. In the same way that “fracking” transformed the U.S. energy landscape, SSLNG has the potential to transform the role of gas in a number of key geographies and industry sectors.

China is the largest Small Scale LNG (SSLNG) market with about 33% market share. Europe is follower, accounting for about 28% market share.The key manufacturers are Guanghui Energy, Gasnor, Kunlun Energy, Xilan Natural Gas, Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum, Gasum, Hanas, Yuanheng Energy, China National Coal Group, Hebei Huaqi Natural Gas, Equinor, Nippon Gas, Engie, PetroChina, Linde, CNOOC etc. Top 3 companies occupied about 21% market share.
