Middle East & Africa C-Type LNG carrier Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis – by Product Type (Cylindrical, Bi-Lobe, and Tri-Lobe) and Application (Marine, Oil and Gas, Petrochemical, and Others)
The C-type LNG carrier market in Middle East & Africa is expected to grow from US$ 146.16 million in 2022 to US$ 168.06 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.4% from 2022 to 2028.
Increasing Demand for Clean Energy
Natural gas is gaining momentum in many sectors as it is a cheap, environment-friendly, and efficient fossil fuel. It emits around 40% less carbon dioxide than coal and roughly 20% less carbon than oil. LNG is considered as a cleaner alternative to fuel oil and coal. It is widely adopted for generating the power. Thus, the rise in demand for clean gas is primarily attributed by the industrial and commercial applications which is further expected to drive the market growth. The surging demand for natural gases by residential, industrial, and commercial sectors, mainly from the developing economies, and the growing usage of LNG carriers for a wide range of end-use applications, such as defense and transport, are among the major factors holding potential opportunity for the growth of the C-type LNG carrier market. Thus, the increase in demand for clean energy sources across various applications is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market growth in the coming years.
Market Overview
The Middle East's gas production is soaring, and the region surpassed Russia's output in 2019, making it the world's second-largest gas producer after North America. According to public energy estimates, the region produced about 730-billion-meter cube of LNG in 2020, which is expected to rise to almost 920 billion m3 by 2030. In 2018, the Middle East surpassed Asia in gas production, with 665 billion m3 produced, up from 465 billion m3 in 2010. In addition, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are predicted to increase their combined gas production from 115 billion m3 in 2010 to 225 billion m3 in 2030, with Saudi Arabia accounting for 70% of the total; however, Qatar continues to dominate global output. Hence, the growing LNG production in the region is set to create an immense opportunity for the C type LNG carrier market vendors. Furthermore, due to rising production and export rates, the region is one of the major procurers of LNG carriers. For instance, in 2018, Nakilat and Maran Ventures Inc. signed a four-vessel agreement with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME). The 174,000 cubic meter Global Sea Spirit was the first X-DF vessel to join the Nakilat fleet. The first two ME-GI devices were delivered in May 2020 and January 2021 and are now operational. The fourth carrier with X-DF engine technology is planned for 2022. Hence, the region provides the main customer base for the C Type LNG carrier market vendors.
