The global liquefied petroleum gas market size was estimated at USD 117.3 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% from 2023 to 2030. Growing awareness about the benefits correlated to the usage of LPG to substitute fossil fuels and the rising adoption of clean and green energy sources across developed and developing countries are some of the factors likely to boost the LPG market’s growth. Additionally, technological aspects coupled with the growing number of initiatives taken by governments to educate the rural people to substitute LPG with traditional cooking fuels such as kerosene, wood, and coal which is likely to play a vital role in the industry’s growth.

The growing population and increasing demand for liquefied petroleum gas as a vehicle emission gas are likely to boost the growth of the market. Besides, the high cost of installation related to liquefaction process equipment and technology may affect the demand and can confine the growth of the market during the projection timeframe. Rise in government initiatives across countries such as India, Indonesia, and China to inspire liquefied petroleum gas applications on account of its prolonged benefits as a cooking fuel are anticipated to boost the market growth over the upcoming years.

In the United Kingdom., LPG is gradually being considered as a striking option for commercial assets joined with low-carbon and renewable technologies to assimilate a consistent year with round-the-clock electricity supply with carbon savings. The improving R&D in the liquefied petroleum gas industry is projected to propel the market growth in the upcoming years.
