Factors like high demand in the Asia-Pacific region and large investments will boost the global Liquefied Natural Gas market in near future, says RNCOS.

According to RNCOS latest report entitled “Global LNG Market Analysis”, the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) market has witnessed a sharp rise during the last few years. Major developments have taken place in LNG trade, production, and consumption along with market activities. Factors like, huge investments, burgeoning demand and environmental concerns have contributed to the fast growth of the industry. The market is likely to perform well in future also as countries like, India and China witness high growth patterns in LNG consumption and new production plants start operations.

The country has been a major LNG consumer and importer with 452 Billion Cubic Feet of LNG imports in 2009. However, current developments indicate that the US is likely to reach the stage of self-sufficiency in coming future.
