Asia-Pacific LPG Market is anticipated to grow at a steady pace in the forecast period, 2023-2028, The increase in demand for LPG from various operations is what is driving the liquefied petroleum gas industry. Additionally, one of the major factors driving the market’s expansion is the implementation of strict government rules against environmental pollution.
Propane, usually referred to as liquefied petroleum gas, is a flammable hydrocarbon gas that is frequently utilized as a non-toxic and sulfur-free fuel. Along with butane (C4H10) and propane (C3H8), it also contains minor amounts of other hydrocarbons. Owing to its easy storage, LPG is a very adaptable source of energy for businesses located in places without access to piped gas supply. It is favored over a number of other energy fuels because it emits less carbon and sulphur during combustion, protecting the environment. In process industries, LP gas is frequently used to power the boilers that produce steam and boiled water. Due to its high flash point and clean fuel with little GHG emission, it is also employed as a residential cooking gas.
Increasing Demand for Autogas is Augmenting the LPG Market Growth
Over the past 20 years, auto gas consumption has significantly expanded and in 2019 reached a record high of 27.1 million tonnes. The COVID-19 crisis upheaval led to a considerable decline in auto gas use in 2020 as compared to other transportation fuels. With around 27.8 million operational auto gas vehicles worldwide, the auto gas fleet is still expanding rapidly. The proportion of gas in the overall amount of vehicle fuel consumed varies greatly between nations, from 0.03% in the United States to over 25% in the Ukraine. The vast discrepancy in auto gas’ ability to compete successfully with gasoline, diesel, and other conventional car fuels is primarily accounted for by variations in government incentive schemes. The environment is the main justification for the government’s aggressive promotion of auto gas and other alternative fuels in many nations. In the majority of comparative examinations of environmental performance carried out globally, auto gas outperforms gasoline, diesel, and certain other alternative fuels. The Asia Pacific market is expected to grow as a result of these factors.
Increasing Government Initiatives and Support for LPG Adoption to Aid Market Dynamics
The use of LPG has been expanding in Asia Pacific, across several sectors as GHG emissions reduction and guaranteeing sustainable energy for everyone have come under more and more scrutiny. The government has made major contributions in the form of programs and subsidies to accelerate the adoption of LPG. The "PAHAL" scheme, which deposits subsidies directly into the bank accounts of consumers who are entitled to them, is one of the governments of India’s efforts that more effectively targets subsidies. The "give it up" campaign that supports this program encourages consumers who can afford to buy LPG at market rates to voluntarily stop purchasing products that are subsidized. The market is expected to grow throughout the forecast period as a result of LPG potentially becoming an appealing alternative fuel for more applications.
Increasing Utilization of LPG in Transportation as an Alternative Fuel to Augment Growth
Autogas is another term for automotive liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG, which is used as a fuel for automobiles. In terms of fleet size, auto gas is the non-blended alternative to conventional oil-based transport fuels such as gasoline and diesel that is most widely used. The auto gas market is well established in several nations. Over the past two decades, auto gas consumption has continuously climbed, hitting a record high of 27.1 million tonnes in 2019 with an increase of 1% over the previous year. Despite this, demand has declined recently, in part due to increased fuel efficiency and a decrease in the autogas fleet in some key regions. Countries’ trends vary significantly, with some experiencing high market growth in 2019 while others had declines. In 2020, global pandemic brought due to which demand for Autogas and other transportation fuels is reduced.
In 2020, the demand for Autogas and other transportation fuels was reduced due to global pandemic.
.During the period of market forecasting, all of these factors are anticipated to increase the demand for this gas.
