What Happened?
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.
