Global LNG Boom: How a Surge in Production Will Reshape Gas Markets by 2030

According to the International Energy Agency’s Gas 2025 report, global liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity is set to expand by an unprecedented 300 billion cubic meters per year by 2030, fueled largely by new projects in the U.S. and Qatar.

This surge is projected to boost net LNG supply by about 250 bcm annually by 2030, which could exert significant downward pressure on gas prices, easing tight market conditions and increasing demand—especially in price-sensitive regions. The outlook projects roughly 1.5% annual growth in global gas demand through 2030, with the Asia-Pacific and Middle East leading this rise.

However, while lower prices may drive up consumption, there’s a risk: sustained low prices could deter future LNG investments, introducing long-term supply uncertainties.
