The LPG tanker market is being driven by growing trade relations and increased shale gas extraction. Because of increased trading of liquefied petroleum gas across various countries, the global market for liquefied petroleum gas tankers is expected to grow significantly. Due to volatile crude oil prices and the advancement of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling processes, key participants have shifted their focus to oil and gas production from shale rock. As a result of the shift in focus, the market is expected to grow during the forecast period, as augmented shale gas production has boosted LPG trade globally.

The top three trends driving the global LPG tanker market are increased shale gas production from previously untapped reserves, increase in international gas trade and continued use of LPG as a cooking fuel.

In 2021, Europe dominated the liquified petroleum gas tanker market, accounting for over 29.30% of revenue. The market in Europe is primarily driven by increased demand for LPG as a result of government initiatives and low domestic LPG production, which leads to increased demand for LPG tankers to facilitate import. Because of the growing exports of liquefied petroleum gas to regions such as Europe and Asia Pacific, North America, the Middle East, and Western Africa are the key regional markets contributor for LPG tankers. After Qatar and Australia, North America is one of the world's top LPG exporters. The presence of abundant validated that shale gas reserves in the region drives the market.
