The global market for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is undergoing a profound restructuring. While the Asia-Pacific region remains the main buyer, with China, India and the Southeast Asian states as key players, demand in Europe is changing significantly. Europe's LNG imports are expected to increase from 24% in 2022 to 46% in 2030, mainly due to the replacement of pipeline gas and energy security.

At the same time, the USA and Qatar are consolidating their position as leading exporters of LNG. However, Africa is becoming increasingly important, especially with Mozambique as a new emerging player in the market. The country has significant gas reserves and is continuing to expand its export capacities.

One of the biggest challenges for this growing market remains the expansion of infrastructure. New terminals, transport capacities and liquefaction plants are required to meet the increasing demand and ensure security of supply. Countries and companies are faced with the task of investing in sustainable and efficient solutions to make the global LNG trade fit for the future.
