The LNG terminals market is shaped by the growing demand for cleaner, flexible energy sources, driven by global carbon neutrality goals and heightened energy security concerns. As LNG offers a less carbon-intensive and scalable alternative to coal and oil, it is becoming a key transitional fuel. This shift has accelerated the construction of liquefaction terminals in exporting countries and regasification terminals in importing regions, notably in Asia Pacific, Europe, and South America. Supportive government policies, favorable regulations, and long-term energy strategies are further attracting investment. Additionally, environmental goals encourage the integration of low-carbon technologies, such as operational electrification and emissions reduction systems, into terminal design, spurring innovation and long-term market growth.
Onshore segment to register higher CAGR in LNG terminals market during forecast period
Over the last few decades, onshore LNG terminals remained big global infrastructure players because of their large storage capacities, existing supply chains, and convenient access to utilities and skilled labor. In regions heavily reliant on LNG imports, such as Asia Pacific and Europe, energy security strategies have increasingly prioritized developing and expanding onshore regasification terminals. These facilities, designed for long-term and high-volume operations, typically include extensive infrastructure such as storage tanks, vaporizers, liquefaction units, and berths for loading and unloading. To address environmental concerns and cost efficiency, the onshore segment is adopting modular designs, electrified systems to reduce emissions, and digital technologies to improve process control and safety. Governments and private sector stakeholders are actively investing in the upgrade and expansion of existing terminals to accommodate larger LNG carriers, diversify supply sources, and integrate future-ready infrastructure, including hydrogen and carbon capture systems, in support of broader decarbonization goals.
Floating segment to account for second-largest share of LNG terminals market, by terminal type, during forecast period
The floating segment of the LNG terminals market is undergoing substantial growth, fostered mainly by cheaper costs, faster timelines, and most notably, its ability to serve a broader range of geographies. As of 2024, over 45 floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) are deployed worldwide, with more than 10 units being built or planned. These floating alternatives typically deploy 40 to 50% faster than traditional onshore facilities, with deployment timelines potentially as short as 24 to 36 months. Further, their mobility allows for redeployment based on changing demand, making them suitable and adroit for emerging economies and short-to-mid LNG supply contracts. The trend is projected to continue, particularly in Asia, Europe, and Latin America, as countries search for flexible and low-capex alternatives to expand LNG infrastructure.
North America to be second-largest LNG terminals market during forecast period
The LNG terminals market is growing in North America due to sizeable shale gas reserves, rising demand for LNG globally, and strong exporting capabilities. As of 2024, North America represents about 30% of global LNG export capacity, with the United States operating more than 7 major LNG export terminals, including Sabine Pass, Corpus Christi, and Cameron LNG. Many additional projects and expansions are currently being developed, including Golden Pass LNG and Plaquemines LNG, which will provide over 70 million metric tons per annum (MTPA) by 2027. North America has known pricing and ample pipeline infrastructure and is generating strong interest from investors to play a strategic role in meeting worldwide energy transition needs.
Major players with a wide regional presence dominate the LNG terminals market. Some key players in the market are Technip Energies N.V. (France), Bechtel Corporation (US), SAIPEM SpA (Italy), Samsung C&T Corporation (South Korea), HYUNDAI E&C (South Korea), and JGC HOLDINGS CORPORATION (Japan).
