Liquefied Petroleum Gas Storage Market Size

Liquefied Petroleum Gas Storage Market was valued USD 81.25 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to excel at a CAGR of 1.2% by 2032. LPG, is a combustible blend of hydrocarbon gases, mainly composed of propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10). It originates from the refining of crude oil and the processing of natural gas. LPG is stored and moved in liquid state with moderate pressure, enabling its efficient storage, high energy content, and convenient manipulation. Increasing energy demand in line with rapid population growth in emerging economies will drive the adoption of LPG as a clean fuel source.

The government and respective authorities across the globe are continuously implementing initiatives to provide LPG access to its customer, which has contributed to market trends. The industry is poised to grow on account of its utilization across various industrial processes including refining, manufacturing, and petrochemical production. This fuel is also used in automotive fuel, either in its pure form or as a component of compressed natural gas blends, which will contribute the market dynamics. Increasing urbanization growth along with the need for clean and efficient fuel source to limit the environment impact, which in turn will influence the industry size. Introduction of various subsidies or incentives programs to promote the adoption of LPG gas, particularly in the geographies where biomass is still use for cooking, thereby boost the business outlook.
 

COVID-19 Impact

The pandemic led to disruptions in supply chains across the globe due to lockdowns, restrictions on movement, and reduced industrial activities. This affected the transportation and distribution of LPG, potentially causing delays in deliveries and affecting storage levels. The lockdowns and restrictions on travel and business activities affected the demand for LPG. While there was a surge in residential usage as more people stayed at home, the industrial and commercial sectors experienced decreased demand due to closures and reduced operations. Furthermore, economic uncertainty coupled with changes in supply and demand dynamics have led to price volatility. Imposed restrictions also affected regulatory processes and inspections, which could have impacted the operation and maintenance of LPG storage facilities.
 

LPG Storage Market Trends

The market is experiencing significant growth owing to stringent regulation and safety standards. Continuous investments by the public and private players in advanced storage technologies including emergency response protocols and leak detection system to ensure safe storage and transportation will complement the business scenario. Increasing LPG consumption in line with expansion of storage infrastructure development will proliferate the industry dynamics. Growing demand for larger tank and underground storage in conjunction with advanced material, monitoring systems, and digitalization technology systems will augment the industry outlook.
