Global Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Market 2014-2018 with BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Phillips 66 & Royal Dutch Shell Dominating
M2 - Mon Jul 07, 4:27AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ghcjw8/global_liquefied) has announced the addition of the "Global Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global LPG market will grow at a CAGR of 4% to 2018 One of the main drivers in this market is an increase in global energy consumption. The rising demand for energy from various sectors has boosted the demand for different energy products such as LPG. The increasing government support for LPG usage in vehicles is another major trend in the Global LPG market. In order to reduce emissions from local vehicles, many governments have announced incentives and support for LPG-based vehicles. For instance, the US Department of Energy has introduced a federal law and policy for LPG that covers alternative fuel tax exemption. The policy deems alternative fuels to be non-taxable with regard to federal fuel taxes under the Internal Revenue Service. Also, the Government of Hong Kong announced the LPG Vehicle Scheme in its 1999 policy that includes the provision of incentives in 2000 for the replacement of diesel taxis with LPG taxis. Thus, support from governments across the globe drives the demand for LPG globally. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the capital-intensive nature of LPG projects. Many investors are reluctant to invest in LPG projects because of their need for high capital investment and their long gestation period.
