About the ProjectKAPSARC is analyzing the shifting dynamics of the global gas markets. Global gas markets have turned upside down during the past five years: North America has emerged as a large potential future LNG exporter while gas demand growth has been slowing down as natural gas gets squeezed between coal and renewables. While the coming years will witness the fastest LNG export capacity expansion ever seen, many questions are raised on the next generation of LNG supply, the impact of low oil and gas prices on supply and demand patterns and how pricing and contractual structure may be affected by both the arrival of U.S. LNG on global gas markets and the desire of Asian buyers for cheaper gas.Key PointsIn the past year, global gas prices have dropped significantly, albeit at unequal paces depending on the region. All else being equal, economists would suggest that this should have generated a positive demand response. However, “all else” was not equal. Prices of other commodities also declined while economic growth forecasts were downgraded. Prices at benchmark points such as the U.K. National Balancing Point (NBP), U.S. Henry Hub (HH) and Japan/Korea Marker (JKM) slumped due to lower oil prices, liquefied natural gas (LNG) oversupply and unseasonal weather. Yet, the prices of natural gas in local currencies have increased in a number of developing countries in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, former Soviet Union (FSU) and Asia. North America experienced demand growth while gas in Europe and Asia faced rising competition from cheaper coal, renewables and, in some instances, nuclear. Gains to European demand were mostly weather related while increases in Africa and Latin America were not significant. For LNG, Europe became the market of last resort as Asian consumption declined. Moreover, an anticipated surge in LNG supply, brought on by several new projects, may lead to a confrontation with Russian or other pipeline gas suppliers to Europe. At the same time, Asian buyers are seeking concessions on pricing and flexibility in their long-term contracts. Looking ahead, natural gas has to prove itself a credible and affordable alternative to coal, notably in Asia, if the world is to reach its climate change targets. The future of the gas industry will also depend on oil prices, evolution of Chinese energy demand and impact of COP21 on national energy policies. Current low prices mean there is likely to be a pause in final investment decisions (FIDs) on LNG projects in the coming years.

Countries in Europe have some of the highest natural gas prices for the industry in the world. In the first quarter of 2025, industrial customers in Switzerland paid approximately 0.17 U.S. dollars per kilowatt hour worth of natural gas. This was considerably higher than the price of gas in natural gas producing countries such as Russia. Determining natural gas prices Like other commodities, natural gas prices are driven by supply and demand trends. In some instances, they may also reflect developments within the oil market, as both commodities are often produced together. Natural gas prices are volatile. Seeing as the consumption of natural gas is often without alternative (e.g. within power plants), short-term changes to supply and demand have huge repercussions for the market. Weather is also a common determinant of natural gas prices. Unprecedented heat waves in the U.S. have driven up electricity demand for air conditioning and affected weekly Henry Hub natural gas prices in the hotter summer months. Natural gas demand Primary energy demand generated by natural gas worldwide is highest in North America. Nevertheless, forecasts suggest that the Asia Pacific region will experience a doubling in such demand by 2050 and overtake consumers in North America. The United States is still leading a ranking of world natural gas consumption by country. However, China has increased its LNG and gas pipeline investment portfolio, which could see it becoming an even greater consumer in the future.

The oil and natural gas price index is calculated using price data from both resources, weighted according to their share of energy consumption in the United States. The year 1982 is used as the base year for this index. Data sources include the International Monetary Fund and the Energy Information Administration.

Understanding the factors that influence natural gas and crude oil prices is crucial for energy sector companies, investors, and governments. This article explores the various factors, including supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical events, weather patterns, and global economic conditions, that impact the prices of these important energy sources. It also highlights the role of commodity markets in trading natural gas and crude oil futures contracts. By understanding these factors and monitoring market tr

In 2024, the price of natural gas in Europe reached 11 constant U.S. dollars per million British thermal units, compared with 2.2 U.S. dollars in the U.S. This was a notable decrease compared to the previous year, which had seen a steep increase in prices due to an energy supply shortage exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine war. Since 1980, natural gas prices have typically been higher in Europe than in the United States and are expected to remain so for the coming two years. This is due to the U.S. being a significantly larger natural gas producer than Europe. What is natural gas and why is it gaining ground in the energy market? Natural gas is commonly burned in power plants with combustion turbines that generate electricity or used as a heating fuel. Given the fact that the world’s energy demand continues to grow, natural gas was seen by some industry leaders as an acceptable "bridge-fuel" to overcome the use of more emission-intensive energy sources such as coal. Subsequently, natural gas has become the main fuel for electricity generation in the U.S., while the global gas power generation share has reached over 22 percent. How domestic production shapes U.S. natural gas prices The combination of hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) and horizontal drilling can be regarded as one of the oil and gas industry’s biggest breakthroughs in decades, with the U.S. being the largest beneficiary. This technology has helped the industry release unprecedented quantities of gas from deposits, mainly shale and tar sands that were previously thought either inaccessible or uneconomic. It is forecast that U.S. shale gas production could reach 36 trillion cubic feet in 2050, up from 1.77 trillion cubic feet in 2000.

Market Dynamics of Natural Gas Liquids Market

Key Drivers for Natural Gas Liquids Market

Increasing Petrochemical Industry to Boost Market Growth

The market for natural gas liquids (NGL) is mostly driven by the expanding petrochemical sector. Natural gas liquids (NGLs) like ethane, propane, and butane are vital raw materials for the synthesis of petrochemicals like ethylene and propylene, which are extensively utilized in the creation of synthetic materials, chemicals, and plastics. The need for NGLs is rising due to the petrochemical industry's explosive growth, particularly in North America and Asia. The utilization of NGLs in a variety of applications is growing as a result of growing industrialization and technological developments in chemical processing. The global need for consumer goods, packaging, and industrial materials is driving the petrochemical industry's growth, which in turn will fuel the NGL market's long-term growth.

The Surge in Shale Gas Production to Drive Market Growth

The market for natural gas liquids (NGL) is growing as a result of increased shale gas output. Production of NGLs, including ethane, propane, and butane, has expanded because of the spike in shale gas extraction, especially in North America, through horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology. These liquids are frequently left over after natural gas from shale formations is extracted. In order to fulfill growing global demand, the U.S. shale boom has improved export prospects and supported local NGL supplies. The supply of NGLs is directly increased by the ongoing expansion of shale gas production, which fosters the long-term growth of the NGL market by meeting the increasing demand from sectors such as transportation, energy, and petrochemicals.

Restraint Factor for the Natural Gas Liquids Market

Price Volatility for Crude Oil Will Limit Market Growth

The volatility of crude oil prices severely constrains

The natural gas liquids (NGL) market. Because NGLs are frequently extracted in conjunction with crude oil and natural gas, changes in oil prices have an immediate effect on how profitable it is to produce NGLs. Oil and gas companies may cut back on drilling when crude oil prices drop, which lowers the output of NGLs. Furthermore, a decline in oil prices may increase the appeal of alternative energy sources, which would lessen the market for NGLs. On the other hand, sudden spikes in oil prices can cause market instability and increase the operational expenses for NGL producers. It is difficult for NGL market participants to sustain consistent growth because of this price volatility, which also makes long-term planning more difficult and causes investor concern.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Natural Gas Liquids Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial effect on the natural gas liquids (NGL) market because it caused supply chain disruptions on a worldwide scale, decreased energy consumption, and a steep reduction in industrial activity. Lockdowns and limitations reduced the demand for NGLs, especially in the transportation and petrochemical sectors, which are big users of butane, propane, and ethane. The demand for NGLs as alternati...
