Global Gas Utilities industry profile provides top-line qualitative and quantitative summary information including: industry size (value and volume, and forecast to 2029). The profile also contains descriptions of the leading players including key financial metrics and analysis of competitive pressures within the industry.

Key Highlights

  • The gas utilities market includes the total consumption of natural gas by end-users, excluding any distribution or transmission losses. This market is segmented into industrial, transport, residential, commercial and public services, and others. The scope of others includes agriculture, forestry, electric power, fishing, etc.
  • Market volume represents the consumption of natural gas by end-users in a country in a specific year. The market value is calculated by multiplying the market volume with the average selling price.
  • In the industrial sector, natural gas is used as a raw material and heat source for manufacturing products such as plastics, fertilizers, fabrics, pharmaceuticals, and antifreeze.
  • Compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) are two alternative fuels used in vehicles for transportation. CNG is stored in high-pressure tanks, and its combustion produces fewer emissions than gasoline or diesel fuel. On the other hand, LNG is stored at low temperatures and has a higher energy density than CNG, which means it can provide a more extended driving range.
  • Natural gas is used for residential use to heat spaces and water, cook food, and dry clothes.
  • The commercial and public services sector includes public and private enterprises such as office buildings, schools, churches, hotels, restaurants, and government buildings. The main uses of natural gas in this sector are space heating, water heating, and cooling.
  • In some countries, synthetic gas (syngas, coal gas, city gas, etc.) or biogas (generated from waste materials) may be used similarly to natural gas and are therefore included in the market volume. For companies operating in the gas and power sectors, any self-supply to their gas-fired generation plant is excluded
  • All market data and forecasts are based on nominal prices and all currency conversions used in the creation of this report have been calculated using yearly annual average exchange rates. The USD values may show a declining trend for few countries such as Argentina, Turkey, Nigeria, Egypt, and Russia. This is primarily because of the impact of exchange rates considered.
  • The global gas utilities industry recorded revenues of $2.64 trillion in 2024, representing a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.2% between 2019 and 2024.
  • Industry consumption volume increased with a CAGR of 1% between 2019 and 2024, reaching a total of 104.75 trillion cubic feet in 2024.
  • In 2024, Europe accounted for a share of 65.8% of the global gas utilities industry, making it the largest region in the industry. It was followed by Asia-Pacific and North America with a share of 17.6% and 11.0% respectively.
