The Americas: Largest revenue generating region for FPS market

The FPS market in the Americas was valued at almost $9 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 21% by 2020. The Americas have a plenty of oil and gas reserves making it the leading region in the market. New discoveries made in the recent times, have increased off-shore drilling activities in Latin American countries like Brazil, Mexico, and Venezuela. Moreover, the ultra-deepwater discoveries in Latin America will boost investments in the sector and propel the demand of FPS in the American market.

Liquefied natural gas is one of the most cost-effective fuels in terms of transportation over long distances. The US has large shale gas reserves, and Canada has natural gas reserves making the Americas a popular export-oriented region. Such opportunities in the area is also attracting investments and projects from the top FPS vendors,” says Sayani Roy, a lead analyst at Technavio, specializing in research on oil and gas.

 FPS market in APAC

The FPS market in APAC was valued at around $3 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 13% by 2020. Countries like Japan, China, Taiwan, and India have signed long-term contracts with various countries for the supply of LNG. The largest LNG reserves in APAC is in Australia and its current export capacity is anticipated to increase with more discoveries of natural gas reserves.  Recently, in Queensland, Australia the world’s first coal seam gas plant was converted into an LNG plant. Countries like India and China are striving hard to reduce their coal dependency and have shifted to renewables which has led to the construction of three regasification units. Natural gas-based power plants are the most effective solutions to satisfy the expansive power demands and many coal producing countries in the region are focusing on renewable energy plans. The regasification terminals and new discoveries for the natural gas will propel the growth of the FPS market in this region.
