Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use sectors. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.
Propane, also known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), is a flammable hydrocarbon gas usually compressed and stored in a liquid form. It is primarily obtained as a byproduct of natural gas processing and produced from crude oil refining. It is a colorless, non-toxic, and odorless gas, although an odorant is added for leak detection. It is widely used for cooking, space and water heating, air conditioning, and vehicle fuel. In recent years, propane has rapidly gained traction as a clean-burning alternative fuel across the residential, commercial, transportation, and industrial sectors due to its cost-effectiveness, versatility, easy availability, environment friendliness, and high energy density.
The escalating demand for energy from various end use industries represents the primary factor driving the market growth. Besides this, the growing need for clean-burning fuels due to the rising environmental concerns is augmenting the demand for propane. Additionally, propane is extensively used in industrial applications, such as cutting and brazing, soldering, preheating, shrink-wrapping, and heat treatment. Along with this, the widespread usage of propane as an intermediate for producing propylene and ethylene is accelerating product adoption rates. Furthermore, governments of various countries are implementing stringent regulations due to the depletion of non-renewable resources, such as crude oil. This has led to increased focus of manufacturers on the development of sustainable manufacturing practices that use bio-based raw materials for propane production to enhance efficiency and conserve natural resources. Moreover, the rising adoption of propane in the power and energy sector to generate electricity and the increasing number of autogas or LPG fueled vehicles is propelling the market growth. Other factors, including the growing popularity of propane-based agricultural engines, rapid industrialization, ongoing research and development (R&D) activities, product innovations, and technological advancements, are also creating a positive market outlook.
The publisher provides an analysis of the key trends in each sub-segment of the global propane market, along with forecasts at the global, regional and country level from 2022-2027. Our report has categorized the market based on form, grade and end use industry.
The competitive landscape of the industry has also been examined along with the profiles of the key players being Air Liquide S.A., BP plc, Chevron Corporation, China National Petroleum Corporation, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, ConocoPhillips Company, Eni S.p.A., Evonik Industries AG, Exxon Mobil Corporation, GAIL (India) Limited, Gazprom, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., Royal Dutch Shell plc, Saudi Arabian Oil Co. and TotalEnergies SE.
