Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Procurement Intelligence

The global liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) category is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2023 to 2030. 

It is driven by growing acceptance of green and renewable energy sources in emerging and developed nations, rising understanding of the benefits of switching to LPG from fossil fuels, and efforts and contributions by local governments to promote the usage of LPG in a variety of applications. In addition, rise in the usage of LPG in automotives as an alternate fuel to diesel and regular gasoline, and as a clean-burning fuel for indoor cooking in residential settings (especially as a smokeless fuel) in various regions is also anticipated to fuel the growth of the category. However, Infrastructure constraints, and concerns pertaining to safety during the storage, handling, and transportation of LPG since it is pressurized and flammable, may hinder the growth of the global category during the forecasted timeframe.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Procurement Cost and Supplier Intelligence

Cost of raw materials / feedstock (natural gas and crude oil), labor, equipment & machinery, rent & utilities, and transportation & logistics are the key cost components in this category. Raw materials / feedstock forms the largest cost component in the category. Gas offered in the category is the byproduct of both natural gas and crude oil. In the U.S., though LPG is more directly competitive with the other crude oil byproducts, natural gas processors provide around 69.9% of the propane. 

For this reason, changes in the price of crude oil are reflected in the wholesale price of propane. Since propane is a byproduct, demand and price fluctuations cannot be used to modify the amount of propane made available through the processing of natural gas and crude oil. The majority of propane sold at wholesale in the nation is generated domestically. The average price of LPG in the U.S. during 2023 had been 2.018 USD/US gallon.
