London, September 22, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –– Natural gas demand rose globally by 78 billion cubic meters (1.9%) in 2024, reaching 4,122 billion cubic meters (bcm), and is expected to continue growing in 2025 by 71 bcm (1.7%), according to the 2025 Global Gas Report by the International Gas Union (IGU) and Snam
The global Gas market has exhibited regional differences in Gas demand in the first half of 2025: growth was mainly seen in Europe and North America, increasing by 6.1% and 1.5% respectively. Meanwhile, LNG trade continued to expand, boosted by a sharp rise in European imports, which increased by 12 bcm (23.6%) in the first half of 2025, to meet regional demand and storage injection needs.
Observed trends suggest global energy demand is expected to follow an upward trajectory over the next decade, especially leading up to 2030. Power consumption is expected to surge in China and India, thus driving an increase in natural gas demand, positioning Asia as the key driver of global energy demand, supported by growth in North America.
Heatwaves and technological drivers, such as the AI and Cloud steep growth, are straining power systems globally, requiring reliable and flexible sources and more infrastructure. Geopolitical tensions are clouding the outlook for LNG demand and supply, alongside the dynamic rate of energy transition.
If current trends persist, energy demand growth will likely surpass most of the scenario pathways proposed by leading institutions, exceeding projections for 2030. It is therefore essential that investment in Gas and its infrastructure (including adequate supportive policies) continues at the same pace to:
