Global LPG demand stood at 280 million tonnes in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at around CAGR 7.15% during the forecast period.

H1 2023: In H1 2023, the Asia Pacific region saw a drop in LPG prices as the economy slowed and financial market volatility dampened the LPG demand. Furthermore, the volatility of crude oil prices has weighed on LPG pricing, affecting regional costs. In June, Saudi Aramco reduced Propane pricing. The reason of low LPG prices was due to abundant supplies in the Middle East and the United States, as well as low Chinese petrochemical demand. The Saudi propane contract price fell due to plentiful supplies from the Middle East and the United States, as well as weak petrochemical demand in Asia. Because of China’s persistently cheap propane prices, Chinese LPG prices were low. On the other hand, LPG prices depicted variations in H1 2023 in the US, with prices continuously declining till April 2023. LPG prices in the American market were low as there was ample of supply to meet the demand of the local market as well as the international demand. Butanol and Propane prices in the US market had decreased which supported the poor pricing trend. Prices rose in the mid-May 2023 as demand from downstream industries increased. However, prices declined by the end of H1 2023 due to adequate product availability and low to moderate demand from importing European and Asian countries. Further fluctuations in crude oil prices in Asia Pacific region resulted in changes in LPG prices in the region.
