Natural gas demand in Emerging Asia, 2019-2025

Notes

Our forecast anticipates the addition of new LNG import infrastructure in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Thailand and Viet Nam in the 2019-25 period, which is necessary to meet projected demand in these countries. The analysis compares our gas demand forecast for emerging Asia, which incorporates some new regasification facilities, with a downside case where only existing regasification infrastructure is available to meet projected demand. The growth that still occurs in the downside case is due only to increased utilisation of existing infrastructure. The analysis assumes that the proportion of demand that cannot be met with existing regasification capacity in a given country will be lost, and not be met by other supply sources, such as domestic production or pipeline imports.
