At 4.8% CAGR, the North America C-Type LNG Carrier market is projected to be worth US$ 595.78 Million by 2028, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the North America C-type LNG carrier market was valued at US$ 449.71 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 595.78 million by 2028, registering a CAGR of 4.8% from 2022 to 2028. Surge in new shipbuilding contracts and new fleet expansion and rising demand for natural gas from several industries are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.

Natural gas is widely used in various industrial applications. For instance, it is used as a fuel for process heating in combined heat and power systems, it is also used as a raw material (feedstock) to produce fertilizer, chemicals, and hydrogen, and as lease and plant fuel. Natural gas is also used for waste treatment and incineration applications, metals preheating in the metal & mining industry, drying and dehumidification, glass melting, food processing, and fueling industrial boilers. Ethane, butane, propane, and a few gases may also be extracted from natural gas, which is used as a feedstock for fertilizers and pharmaceutical products. As per the US Energy Information Administration data, the consumption of natural gas in the US is led by the electrical power, industrial, residential, commercial, and transportation sectors, which accounted for 37%. 33%, 15%, 11%, and 3%, respectively. The growth of the industrial sector is expected to increase the consumption of LNG across industrial applications. As per the IEA Report, in January 2022, natural gas consumption rebounded by 4.6% in 2021, more than double the decline experienced in 2020. Thus, the rising consumption of LNG is likely to propel the regional C-type LNG carrier market growth over the forecast period.
