Natural Gas Storage Market Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2023


Transparency Market Research has released a new market research report titled Natural Gas Storage Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth Trends and Forecast, 2015 - 2023. According to the report, the global natural gas storage market stood at 392,831.22 mcm in 2014 and is likely to reach 548,798.39 mcm by 2023, expanding at a CAGR of 3.7% between 2015 and 2023.

The global natural gas storage market was dominated by Europe in 2014. Demand for natural gas storage facilities is anticipated to be high in the region due to increasing concerns of energy security (uninterrupted supply of natural gas at affordable rates). A natural gas storage facility is vital as it balances the seasonal peak load demands and provides sustained supply of natural gas. Countries such as Germany, Italy, and France are increasing their natural gas storage capacity to reduce dependence on natural gas imports and to improve local natural gas inventory for applications such as district energy and combined heat and power (CHP) generation.

Factors such as increasing natural gas demand, growing energy security concerns, and favorable government regulations and incentives are anticipated to boost the natural gas storage market in Europe in the near future. However, higher capital costs and installation costs have hampered the growth of the natural gas storage market in the region. Russia is the market leader in terms of natural gas storage capacity in Europe.

North America was the second-largest market globally in terms of storage volume of natural gas in 2014. Underground storage facilities accounted for the major share of the market in North America in 2014. The U.S. was the leading player in terms of natural gas storage capacity in North America. Increasing production of natural gas, owing to shale gas and hydraulic fracturing technologies, has boosted the construction of natural gas storage facilities in North America.


Natural gas storage capacity in Asia Pacific is increasing due to rising awareness about benefits of natural gas storage and energy security. China is expected to be the leading player in the natural gas storage market in Asia Pacific in the near future. Growth in natural gas storage capacity in Asia Pacific is primarily driven by increasing demand for natural gas and rising concerns of energy security. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing market for natural gas storage during the forecast period. Rest of the World (RoW) accounted for the least share of the global natural gas storage market in 2014.

Key participants in the global natural gas storage market include Spectra Energy Corporation, Gazprom, Niska Gas Storage Partners LLC, Chiyoda Corporation, Centrica Storage Ltd., NAFTA A.S., TransCanada Corporation, Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., Cardinal Gas Storage Partners LLC, and Engie S.A. The report provides an overview, financial revenues (on availability), business strategies, and recent developments of these companies. The global natural gas storage market has been segmented as follows:

Global Natural Gas Storage Market: Growing Energy Security Concerns to Boost Market at 3.7% CAGR during 2015-2023


Chemically, natural gas is a colourless, odourless, and gaseous hydrocarbon. The exploration, production, and transportation of natural gas take time and hence, the storage of natural gas in underground storage facilities and in above-ground tanks is much needed. The global natural gas storage market has gained impetus from the growing demand for natural gas. In 2014, the overall market stood at 392,831.22 mcm and is estimated to reach 548,798.39 mcm by 2023, expanding at a CAGR of 3.7% during the period from 2015 to 2023.

Hydraulic Fracking and Shale Gas Boom to Create New Opportunities for Global Natural Gas Storage Market

Growing energy security concerns and favourable government regulations are bolstering the global natural gas storage market. However, the high capital-intensive nature of the market will restrain its growth in the coming years. Hydraulic fracking and shale gas boom has led to increased natural gas production. This will create new opportunity for the growth of the global natural gas storage market.

Among Underground Storage Facilities, Depleted Reservoirs are the Cheapest

On the basis of storage type, the global natural gas storage market has been broadly segmented into underground storage and above-ground storage. Underground storage has been further categorized into salt caverns, depleted reservoirs, and aquifers. The global natural gas storage market has been dominated by underground storage facilities that account for more than 95% market share.

In 2014, depleted reservoirs were the largest number of underground storage facilities constructed across the globe. Depleted reservoirs are those structures where the recoverable natural gas has been already tapped and the underground formation is geologically capable to store natural gas. In terms of development, maintenance, and operations, depleted reservoirs are the cheapest. On the other hand, salt caverns are formed out of existing salt deposits and offer very high deliverability. Aquifers are underground porous rock formations that act as natural water reservoirs and can be also used as natural gas storage facilities. However, both salt caverns and aquifers are quite expensive. Further, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set certain regulations regarding the usage of aquifers as natural gas storage facilities to restrict the contamination of fresh water resources.


Europe Dominated Global Natural Gas Storage Market in 2014

The global natural gas storage market has been segmented into four key regions: Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, and Rest of the World. In 2014, Europe accounted for more than 50% of the global market in terms of storage volume. Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Italy, and France are the key markets for natural gas storage in the European region. North America emerged as the second-largest natural gas storage market in 2014, followed by Asia Pacific.
Key Players in Global Natural Gas Storage Market

Some of the key players in the global natural gas storage market are Gazprom, Spectra Energy Corporation, Niska Gas Storage Partners LLC, Centrica Storage Ltd., Chiyoda Corporation, TransCanada Corporation, NAFTA A.S., Cardinal Gas Storage Partners LLC, Engie S.A., and Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc.
