Asian Markets and Petrochem Demand Propel LPG into the Spotlight
Global demand for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is experiencing a notable upswing in Q2 2025, driven primarily by robust consumption across Asia and increased use in petrochemical industries. According to recent trade data, countries like India, China, and South Korea have significantly ramped up imports, fuelled by seasonal demand, economic recovery, and a shift toward cleaner-burning fuels.
In addition to household and transport applications, the petrochemical sector has emerged as a key growth driver, with LPG being a critical feedstock for producing plastics and other derivatives. This sustained demand has contributed to tighter supply balances and modest price increases across major benchmarks.
For brokers and traders, this trend highlights a window of opportunity to secure supply contracts and optimise logistics in key export hubs such as the U.S. Gulf Coast, the Middle East, and West Africa. Strategic positioning and strong supplier relationships are proving essential as competition intensifies.
