Natural Gas Liquids Market: Global Industry Analysis, Trends, Market Size and Forecasts to 2023

Natural Gas Liquids Market: Global Industry Analysis, Trends, Market Size and Forecasts to 2023

Report Code: EIM0118 Category: Energy, Mining and Infrastructure Published: November, 2017

Natural gas is a fossil fuel that forms when animal or plant remains are exposed for thousands of years to extremely high pressure and heat. Natural gas liquids are hydrocarbons that have condensed from the natural gas gaseous state into a liquid state. Natural gas liquids include ethane, propane, butane, ISO-butane and pentane. Furthermore, natural gas liquids (NGL’S) are used for a wide range of commercial and industrial purposes such as petrochemical feedstock, heating, cooking and vehicle fuel. NGL’S can also be produced in oil refineries alongside diesel and other fuels.

Market Insights

The global natural gas liquids market is projected to grow with a CAGR between 6.5% and 7.0% during 2017-2023. Increasing demand for ethane, butane and propane with their application in petrochemical industry is the key factor driving the growth of global natural gas liquid market. Furthermore, rising demand for natural gas liquid products in refineries such as to convert ethane into ethylene by steam cracking, propane used for cracking petroleum into gasoline and ISO-butane to increase the octane number of motor gasoline to improve its quality will drive this market globally. Moreover, increasing population with changing lifestyle and high residential usage of propane and butane products for burning, heating and cooking which in turn will drive the global natural gas liquid market over the forecast period. However, decline in crude oil prices and tough competition from other energy by products such as bio gas and methane gas are the key restraining factors for the growth of this market over the forecast period. Hence, development in the infrastructure for natural gas liquid and recent discoveries as well as innovations will bring more opportunities to the global natural gas liquid market for the next six years.
