Summary

The market research report "New Projects lead to a Boom in the Global LNG Market: Industry Analysis (2005-2010)", gives an in-depth analysis of the world LNG market. The market for LNG has been growing at a tremendous pace spanning all the continents, ranging between one to 40 projects in a country. The sooner the projects complete, the better will be the capacity of LNG.

According to the report, the delays in most of the liquefaction projects might lead to a reduction in the market share, as the prices for LNG will reduce. A compression of the gestation gap might help in maintaining the LNG market economics. The LNG market has grown in 2005 and shows signs of continuous growth. In 2004, the global liquefaction capacity was 150MTPA in 13 countries with a total number or 18 plants. At present, there are 14 importers of LNG. It is expected that by 2010, the LNG market will expand with more than 35 countries raring to join the race.

The LNG market will soon become twice its size with a major share of Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and other Asian countries. The basic reason for the increase in the demand and supply of LNG is because of increasing demand for electricity. Another driving factor for LNG's growth is attributed to the demand for domestic natural gas resources. Most of the gas consuming countries stress on commercialization of their resources.

The report presents an analysis where the world consumption and demand for LNG is done. The international trade and business outlook including the financial and geopolitical factors is included. The volume, prices, contractual agreements are analyzed along with a discussion on ongoing projects in the sector. Projections for 2005, 2010 and 2015, are made assuming alternative economic growth rates. The overall dynamics for Global LNG market (2005-2010) are presented in the report
