LNG LIQUEFACTION EQUIPMENT MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global LNG Liquefaction Equipment Market size was USD 0.87 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1.33 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 4.8% during forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

LNG liquefaction equipments help in the transformation of natural gas into liquefied natural gas (LNG). The main purpose of using these devices is that they cool and condense natural gas to very low temperatures, usually below -162 degrees Celsius, so that it can be converted into a liquid condition for simpler storage and transit. With the help of these devices natural gas can be liquefied effectively and reliably. These devices have applications in various industries.

New liquefaction techniques are being introduced into the market. These help in improving the efficiency of the equipments. Natural gas is affordable and is found in abundance. These factors contribute in the growth and development of LNG liquefaction equipment market share.

COVID-19 IMPACT
