Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports grew significantly in 2025, with total shipments rising by an estimated about 4 % from 2024 to roughly 429 million tons — the biggest annual increase in three years.

This growth was driven primarily by new supply capacity coming online in North America, including major projects like LNG Canada and the Plaquemines export terminal in the U.S. ramping up output.

Why It Matters?

A 4 % jump in LNG export volumes marks the largest increase since 2022, when exports grew about 4.5 %. That shows renewed momentum in global gas trade after slower growth in recent years.

Higher export volumes are expected to increase LNG availability, potentially helping to lower prices and improve energy security in importing markets, especially in Europe and parts of Asia.
