Dubai LPG Market, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2018-2028F

The Residential Segment is Experiencing the Fastest Growth, with Deira Emerging as the Largest Regional Market

The Dubai LPG market overall volume was 216.79 thousand tons in 2022 and is anticipated to project robust growth during the forecast period, with a CAGR of 5.95% owing to government initiatives and energy efficiency considerations.

LPG, an acronym for "liquefied petroleum gas," is a flammable hydrocarbon gas commonly utilized as a fuel for heating, cooking, and powering vehicles. It primarily consists of propane and butane, which are obtained through crude oil refining or natural gas extraction. LPG is stored under pressure in liquid form and vaporizes upon release from a pressurized container. LPG is renowned for its efficiency, versatility, and comparatively clean-burning nature in comparison to other fossil fuels. It finds widespread usage as a cooking fuel in households, particularly in areas lacking natural gas pipelines.

The significant expansion of Dubai's LPG market can be attributed to factors such as economic development, infrastructure investment, government initiatives, energy efficiency considerations, a thriving tourism sector, environmental concerns, and the city's regional commercial prominence. These elements have fostered a conducive environment for the increased adoption and utilization of LPG across diverse sectors, thereby propelling the growth of Dubai's market.

Government Initiatives

The Dubai government is actively promoting the usage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which is expected to drive a significant increase in demand. For instance, HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, announced that the city successfully reduced its carbon emissions by 33% in 2020, surpassing the targets set in the Dubai Carbon Abatement Strategy 2021. This noteworthy achievement highlights Dubai's commitment to reducing carbon emissions and embracing the adoption of LPG. As a result, the market is witnessing rapid growth.

Acceptance of LPG as a Cooking Fuel

Moreover, the population of Dubai is experiencing rapid growth, resulting in an escalating demand for LPG for cooking purposes. Anticipated growth in the Dubai LPG market can be attributed to the fact that LPG emits fewer emissions compared to gasoline and diesel, making it a more environmentally friendly choice for cooking. Additionally, LPG is a cost-effective fuel, rendering it an economical option for consumers. Recognizing this, the government of Dubai offers subsidies for LPG cylinders, enhancing affordability for consumers, while also providing tax incentives for LPG-powered vehicles. These factors are driving the growth of the market.
