Shaping the future of the global LNG market growth through rising global demand

As global energy dynamics continue to evolve, LNG is poised to play a pivotal role in meeting rising demand - particularly in fast-growing economies across Asia. Driven by rapid electrification, rising per capita incomes, and the urgent need to transition away from coal, the LNG market is entering a new phase of opportunity and complexity.

Sustaining long-term LNG demand growth requires a range of enablers, including supportive policies, strategic infrastructure investment and the rollout of effective carbon pricing mechanisms. These factors are critical to ensuring that governments can provide the right platforms for secure, scalable, and sustainable energy demand growth.

With affordability remaining a key concern in emerging markets, collaboration across the value chain is essential for demand to materialise at scale. Additionally, greater flexibility in LNG contracting structures plays a vital role - but are current models adaptive enough to support buyer commitments amid uncertainty around future consumption patterns? And how can the industry innovate on pricing, financing, and regulatory frameworks to unlock new markets and build long-term resilience?

Attendee insights:

Understand how ensuring diversified supply and demand portfolios, both geographically and structurally, will be key to enhancing global energy security and maintaining market resilience, creating further market demand.
