Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Infrastructure Market Report 2026

The liquefied natural gas (lng) infrastructure market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $74.2 billion in 2025 to $84.8 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to investment in onshore lng storage tanks, development of liquefaction plants and natural gas processing facilities, expansion of pipeline networks, increasing marine transport of lng, growth in heavy-duty vehicle adoption of lng.

The liquefied natural gas (lng) infrastructure market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $138.43 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in floating storage regasification units (fsrus), expansion of virtual pipeline solutions, rising focus on modular lng plants, increasing electrification and integration with renewable energy, growth in lng distribution stations and delivery networks. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of lng liquefaction capacity, growth in floating lng (flng) projects, increasing adoption of small-scale lng infrastructure, integration of lng supply chain optimization technologies, rising demand for lng fuels in transportation and industry.

The growing demand for electricity generation is expected to drive the expansion of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure market. Electricity generation involves converting various forms of energy into electrical power, and the increasing need for electricity is fueled by the widespread use of electronic devices and appliances, as well as a growing shift towards electric heating systems and air conditioning. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure offers flexibility in natural gas trading and pricing, enabling buyers to adjust to market changes and capitalize on price differences. This flexibility makes natural gas a more attractive energy source compared to others, stimulating demand. For example, in October 2024, the International Energy Agency, a France-based government organization, reported that in July 2024, total net electricity production in the OECD reached 996.1 TWh, reflecting a 2.6% increase from the previous year. Consequently, the rising demand for electricity generation is driving the growth of the LNG infrastructure market.

Key players in the LNG infrastructure sector are actively involved in the development and investment of new LNG projects to support the expansion of the natural gas industry. Projects such as the Port Arthur LNG project represent significant infrastructure developments aimed at bolstering LNG operations, fostering economic growth, and enhancing energy security. For example, in March 2023, Sempra, a US-based energy infrastructure company, initiated the Port Arthur LNG project - a next-generation liquefaction facility poised to supply abundant, clean, and reliable US natural gas to global markets. The project comprises two liquefaction trains, LNG storage tanks, and associated facilities capable of producing approximately 13.5 Mtpa of LNG, enabling the export of around 11 Mtpa of LNG on a long-term basis. Furthermore, the project incorporates design enhancements to reduce overall emissions, including the adoption of electric drives, renewable power sourcing, and other technological advancements.

In January 2024, Nebula Energy LLC, a US-based investment and asset management firm, acquired a majority stake in AG&P LNG for $300 million. This strategic move underscores Nebula Energy's commitment to expediting the deployment of the LNG infrastructure ecosystem for downstream markets. AG&P LNG, headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, specializes in developing and operating LNG terminals and downstream infrastructure, facilitating the distribution of LNG. Nebula Energy aims to bridge the infrastructure/logistics gap and meet burgeoning demand with advanced proprietary LNG technology, alongside the capability to own and operate LNG assets in rapidly expanding markets.
