Visiongain has published a new report entitled Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) Market Report 2024-2034: Forecasts by Vessel Type (Converted LNG Carriers, Newbuild (Purpose-built) FLNG Vessels), by Capacity (Small-Scale FLNG (Up to 1 MTPA), Mid-Scale FLNG (1-3 MTPA), Large-Scale FLNG (Above 3 MTPA)), by Storage (Onboard Storage Tanks, Membrane-type Storage Systems, Moss-type Storage Systems, Other), by Technology (Nitrogen-based Liquefaction, Mixed Refrigerant Liquefaction, Shell's Prelude FLNG Technology, Petronas PFLNG Technology, Other) AND Regional and Leading National Market Analysis PLUS Analysis of Leading Companies AND COVID-19 Impact and Recovery Pattern Analysis.
The global floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) market was valued at US$20.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period 2024-2034.
Rapid Deployment and Time-to-Market Advantage
The rapid deployment and shorter time-to-market advantage offered by FLNG projects is a critical factor influencing the global market. Traditional onshore liquefaction facilities often entail lengthy construction periods, regulatory approvals, and associated delays. In contrast, FLNG facilities can be constructed in shipyards, facilitating parallel work streams and reducing construction timelines. The Coral South FLNG project in Mozambique, led by Eni, exemplifies the time efficiency of FLNG. The ability to bring new liquefaction capacity online swiftly enables operators to respond quickly to market dynamics, changing demand patterns, and emerging opportunities.
Flexibility in Project Scale
The flexibility in project scale is a driving factor for the FLNG market, allowing operators to tailor projects to specific gas reserves and market conditions. FLNG vessels come in various sizes, providing scalability and adaptability to different gas fields. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for operators looking to develop smaller or phased gas projects economically. Examples include the Petronas FLNG Satu project offshore Malaysia, demonstrating the adaptability of FLNG to smaller-scale developments. The ability to right-size projects based on resource availability and market demand enhances the overall economic viability of FLNG ventures.

How has COVID-19 had a significant negative impact on the Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) Market?
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted various industries worldwide, and the floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) market is no exception. The energy sector, including FLNG projects, has faced a myriad of challenges stemming from disruptions in supply chains, reduced demand for energy, and delays in project timelines. Here is a comprehensive analysis of the COVID-19 impact on the FLNG market:
The global economic downturn resulting from the pandemic led to a decline in energy demand, affecting the overall liquefied natural gas (LNG) market. As countries implemented lockdowns and travel restrictions, industrial activities slowed down, leading to a decrease in the consumption of natural gas. This reduced demand had a cascading effect on FLNG projects, delaying investment decisions and hindering the progress of ongoing developments.
Supply chain disruptions emerged as a critical factor affecting the FLNG market. The lockdowns and restrictions on international trade impeded the timely delivery of critical components and equipment required for the construction and operation of FLNG facilities. Delays in the transportation of materials, engineering challenges, and labour shortages further contributed to project setbacks, impacting the overall timeline and increasing costs.

What are the Current Market Drivers?
Reduced Land-Based Infrastructure Requirements
The reduced land-based infrastructure requirements of FLNG projects contribute to their attractiveness and market growth. Traditional onshore liquefaction plants necessitate extensive infrastructure, including pipelines, storage tanks, and processing facilities. FLNG eliminates the need for such land-based infrastructure, streamlining project development. The Coral South FLNG project, located offshore Mozambique, showcases how FLNG minimizes the environmental footprint and land disturbance associated with onshore developments. The streamlined infrastructure requirements enhance the overall sustainability and social acceptance of FLNG initiatives.
Global LNG Trade Expansion
The expansion of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade acts as a driving force for the FLNG market. As LNG becomes an increasingly traded commodity on the global market, the ability to liquefy natural gas offshore facilitates access to new markets and trading routes. FLNG projects, such as the Prelude FLNG in Australia, are strategically positioned to support LNG exports to diverse regions. The global reach of FLNG vessels aligns with the growing demand for LNG and enhances the resilience of supply chains, contributing to the market's sustained growth.
