The 2023-2028 World Outlook for Propane

The 2023-2028 World Outlook for Propane

This study covers the world outlook for propane across more than 190 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region, and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

In this report we define the sales of propane as including all commonly understood products falling within this broad category, such as disposable baby diapers, toddler training pants, incontinence pads and pants, feminine hygiene pads and tampons, and personal cleaning wipes, irrespective of product packaging, formulation, size, or form. Companies participating in this industry include Aero Energy, AmeriGas, Anadarko Petroleum, BASF, BP P.L.C. (British Petroleum), British Petroleum, Campora Propane Services, Chevron Corporation, ConocoPhillips, DCC, Eni, Evonik Industries, Exxon Mobil, Ferrellgas Partners, Lykins Companies, Inc., Marsh LP Gas Company, PDVSA, PetroChina Company, Reliance Industries, Royal Dutch Shell, Sinopec, Sparlingss Propane Company, Statoil, Suburban Propane Partners, ThompsonGas, Total SA, UGI, and Valero Energy. In addition to the sources indicated, additional information available to the public via news and/or press releases published by players in the industry was considered in defining and calibrating this category. All figures are in a common currency (U.S. dollars, millions) and are not adjusted for inflation (i.e., they are current values). Exchange rates used to convert to U.S. dollars are averages for the year in question. Future exchange rates are assumed to be constant in the future at the current level (the average of the year of this publication's release in 2022).
