2017-2018 China LNG Market Annual Report

Highlights

With the support of environmental protection policies, the industrial-use LNG market developed with a robust momentum in 2017, which contributed to an over 45% growth of the downstream demand in China's LNG market. Both the LNG market supply volume and market prices showed uptrends. The development of newly -added LNG projects slowed down at China’s LNG plants. However, with the low cost of the imported LNG, the import volume increased 38% from 2016. The imported LNG can be delivered to the markets which are over 600km away from the import terminals.

The small-scaled LNG regasification supply mode may be mature in 2018. Governments gradually issue regulations to guide the development of LNG regasification station. Market regulation will be certain for the LNG industry. In view of the sustaining growth of the market demand, LNG market prices are likely to continue increasing. But whether it can boost the development of LNG production projects is uncertain. The LNG import volume will increase further when new import terminals are put into use. With the low cost and high import volume, the imported LNG may take up about 50% of the total LNG market supply in China.
