UAE LPG Market – A Growing Strategic Opportunity
The UAE’s position in the global energy landscape is developing rapidly, especially the sector of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). As production capacities continue to grow and internal consumption stays relatively stable, the UAE is cementing its role as a key supplier in the global LPG trade.
For companies in the energy sector, looking for new business opportunities in the UAE, KSA, and GCC region, understanding the market potential and dynamics of LPG is no longer an option — it’s a necessity. If you’re an investor, manufacturer, trader, or logistics company, getting accurate data on LPG and energy market size, export potential, and competitive environment could help your business to succeed.
At Accurate Middle East Research and Consulting, we provide tailored UAE and KSA reports, including industrial market reports, feasibility studies, and comprehensive strategic analysis to help companies like yours make key business decisions based on facts.
UAE LPG Market Size, Composition & Growth Outlook to 2035
Understanding the UAE (and wider GCC) LPG market usually starts with an understanding of its segments and composition. Production is primarily split between propane (63%) and butane (37%). Propane is considered to be the backbone of the petrochemical industry in the UAE, while butane finds its way into household use and as a fuel additive.
However, internal demand is heavily skewed. More than 85% of all LPG consumed locally is absorbed by the petrochemical sector, leaving a small fraction for household and transport uses. This concentration means that the health of just a few significant industrial players significantly influences domestic consumption, making the market both predictable and, at times, inflexible.
In upcoming years, the internal demand of LPG in GCC isn’t expected to change much. But the production is expected to grow significantly. The UAE’s contribution is forecasted to increase rapidly, widening the gap between what the country produces and what it consumes. By 2035, the UAE is projected to have a surplus of over 9.1 million tonnes of LPG ready for export.
Key Projections:
- UAE LPG market size: Expected to reach USD 8 billion by 2025.
- Growth driver: Industrial output, not local consumption.
- Long-term outlook: UAE maintains its position as a leading global LPG exporter.
