GLOBAL MARKET OVERVIEW
LPG PRODUCTION GROWTH IS STRONG IN THE US AND CANADA, BUT
OTHER REGIONS ARE ALSO GROWING QUICKLY
THE US MUST EXPORT LPG BECAUSE DOMESTIC DEMAND CAN’T KEEP
UP WITH SHALE-BASED PRODUCTION – EVEN AT LOWER OIL PRICES
THE US WILL REMAIN THE WORLD’S LARGEST LPG EXPORTING COUNTRY
GLOBAL LPG DEMAND GROWTH WILL CONTINUE TO BE LED BY ASIA
AND THE MIDDLE EAST
RESIDENTIAL/COMMERCIAL LPG DEMAND IS GROWING STEADILY BUT CHEMICALS DEMAND IS GROWING FASTER
WITH LATIN AMERICA SATURATED AND EUROPE VERY COMPETITIVE,
MOST INCREMENTAL US EXPORTS WILL NEED TO MOVE TO ASIA
LPG IS A SUPPLY-DRIVEN MARKET. SOME SUPPLY FORECAST UNCERTAINTIES:
REFINING
ASSOCIATED GAS
NON-ASSOCIATED GAS
BIO-LPG
THE LPG MARKET MUST (EVENTUALLY) CLEAR. SOME DEMAND
FORECAST UNCERTAINTIES:
RESIDENTIAL / COMMERCIAL
CHEMICALS
AUTOGAS
INDUSTRIAL
OTHER THINGS THAT KEEP LPG RESEARCHERS UP AT NIGHT…
WATERBORNE LOGISTICS
GEOPOLITICS
SUPPLY DISTANT FROM DEMAND CENTERS
DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
CRUDE OIL PRICES: A MODEST GLOBAL OIL PRODUCTION DEFICIT WILL
SUPPORT A GRADUAL, BUT RISING PRICE TREND IN 2017-18
CRUDE OIL SUPPLY DISRUPTIONS: GLOBAL SPARE CAPACITY IS NOW
AT ABOUT ONE THIRD OF ITS 2010 LEVEL
“HIGH-GRADING”: US PROPANE PRODUCTION HAS GENERALLY BEEN FOLLOWING CRUDE OIL PRODUCTION WITH AN INFLUENCE BY NATURAL
GAS – UNTIL RECENTLY…
PERMIAN PRODUCTION: WITH HIGHER RESERVES AND PRODUCTIVITY,
HAVE WE UNDERESTIMATED THE PRODUCTION FORECAST?
GLOBAL LPG DEMAND: WILL ASIAN DEMAND BE STRONG ENOUGH TO CONSUME THE GLOBAL LPG SURPLUS?
DEMAND COMPETITION: WILL A GLUT OF LNG DISPLACE LPG DEMAND
IN KEY COUNTRIES?
US LPG EXPORT CAPACITY: CAPACITY COULD BE TIGHT AGAIN IN
THE 20’S UNLESS THERE IS FURTHER EXPANSION
THE VLGC FLEET: CURRENTLY OVERSUPPLIED, BUT HOW DOES
MARPOL IMPACT THE FLEET?
LARGEST WORLD PRODUCERS
USA HAS BECOME ON OF THE LARGEST EXPORTERS OF LPG
IN THE WORLD.
LARGEST WORLD CONSUMERS
ASIAN CONSUMERS REPRESENT THE BIGGEST SHARE OF THE
GLOBAL DEMAND.
WORLD CONSUMERS BY SECTOR – 2015
LPG FINAL CONSUMPTION BY SECTOR
RESIDENTIAL SECTOR IS THE LARGEST COMPONENT OF THE GLOBAL
DEMAND. ADDITIONALLY, CHEMICAL INDUSTRY IS GETTING MORE
RELEVANT.
LARGEST WORLD EXPORTERS AND IMPORTERS
USA LPG SURPLUS GOES MAINLY TO THE ASIAN MARKET.
