Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The rising global oil and gas consumption is notably driving the floating liquefied natural gas market growth, although factors such as fluctuations in oil and gas prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the floating liquefied natural gas industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Market Driver
Rising global oil and gas consumption is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global floating liquefied natural gas market. Liquid fuel consumption across the globe, especially in emerging economies such as India, China, and Brazil, is expected to grow, owing to the increasing demand for vehicles and a rise in the consumption of petrochemicals. For instance, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2019, the production of petroleum and other liquid fuels in Brazil averaged 3.7 million barrels per day (b/d). Similarly, natural gas consumption has also seen a rise in the last ten years. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), global natural gas consumption increased significantly in 2019. Natural gas has witnessed a higher rise in consumption than oil due to the increasing adoption of natural gas as a fuel. Also, with the increased consumption of fuel from developing economies such as India and China, the demand for LNG is likely to propel during the forecast period, thereby increasing the demand for FLNG projects during the forecast period.
Key Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Market Trend
The rise in the number of deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling projects will fuel the global floating liquefied natural gas market growth. As per the US Energy Information Administration, the oil shock resulted in the decline of crude oil prices in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was one of the lowest since 2003. Also, the prices of the rigs were reduced due to the fewer number of ongoing projects in the oil and gas industry. Sensing profit through low rig rates, some companies are resuming their offshore projects. FLNG vessels provide the advantages of reduced investments and earlier cash flow compared with fixed platforms. The advantages of FLNG vessels make them ideal for offshore activities. Deepwater and ultra-deepwater projects are also far from the mainland; hence, laying an extensive oil and gas pipeline network to transfer the produced hydrocarbons to onshore facilities is too costly. Therefore, FLNG vessels are economical for deepwater and ultra-deepwater projects, as these vessels can treat, liquefy, and store the natural gas extracted from offshore fields. Operators sell the LNG directly from the vessel and generate revenues. Advances in technology allowed exploring gas reserves that were initially uneconomical. This is likely to drive the global FLNG market during the forecast period.
Key Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Market Challenge
Fluctuations in oil and gas prices are major challenges for the global floating liquefied natural gas market growth. The continued trend of low crude oil prices has put additional pressure on the oil and gas service providers. Low-profit margins for a continued period result in reduced revenues, which directly influence the financial aspect of a company. The market potential for oil and gas service businesses has declined due to the low investments in oil and gas projects. As the business for the integrated oil companies is diverse, they were still able to absorb the market pressure, but core upstream companies were affected drastically. For the drilling and production of crude oil to be commercially viable, the crude oil price needs to be sufficiently high from a financial standpoint, which helps the firms to sustain themselves in the market. The cascading effects of the low crude oil prices have been witnessed in companies whose operations require the consumption of petroleum products. The oil and gas equipment manufacturers also have declining sales due to the reduced number of oil and gas exploration and production projects.
This floating liquefied natural gas market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
