Natural Gas Liquids Market To Hit USD32.18 Bn By 2030 Growing At 6.19% CAGR Mordor Intelligence Report

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The global natural gas liquids market growth is fueled by petrochemical demand, shale output, cost edge, PDH expansion, refrigerants, and stranded-gas recovery. North America retained 38.7% of industry revenue in 2024.

Hyderabad, India, Dec. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to Mordor Intelligence, the natural gas liquids market is projected to grow from USD 23.83 billion in 2025 to USD 32.18 billion by 2030. Growth is fueled by rising petrochemical feedstock demand, steady U.S. shale supply, and expanding export infrastructure. Asian PDH projects are boosting propane and ethane trade, while modular fractionation technology is helping reduce costs despite high capital requirements. Although crude-to-gas price spreads create short-term volatility, long-term supply visibility continues to support strong investment momentum.

Upcoming Trends and Developments

Asian PDH Growth Driving Propane Demand

Massive PDH plant expansions across Asia, led by China, are reshaping global propane trade. With increasing reliance on long-haul shipments and new storage facilities, North American suppliers remain well-positioned to serve this expanding demand base.

Expanding Shale and Tight-Oil Production

Advances in drilling and fracturing continue to lift gas output, strengthening NGL supply streams. The Permian Basin plays a dominant role, supported by large-scale midstream investments and export infrastructure that ensure steady flows to international markets.

Rising Petrochemical Needs for Key Building Blocks

Ethylene and propylene remain central to shaping NGL demand, with new cracker projects and flexible feedstock strategies driving growth. Asian investments, particularly in China, are reshaping trade flows and reinforcing reliance on U.S. exports, while consumer and industrial applications keep these molecules embedded in global supply chains.
