The majority of gas traffic in the APAC region is in the form of LNG, and Asia leads the global LNG industry. However, in the APAC region, the international natural gas trading via pipelines is small. A short pipeline connects Malaysia and Singapore, and a pipeline off the coast of China's Hainan Island transports gas to Hong Kong. A recently built pipeline connecting Myanmar and Thailand is not completely operating, owing to a drop in demand caused by the Asian economic crisis. As a result of the pipelines' restricted availability, demand for LNG storage tanks for transportation has increased. Further, substantial developments in the LNG market have occurred in recent years, including the growth of traders, aggregators, and portfolio players, as well as an increase in the number of shorter-term and spot sales. As a result of this tendency, the market is demanding more flexibility in the parameters of LNG storage and containers, particularly in terms of pricing, tenor, volume, and destination. Companies in the region are partnering with global storage tank manufacturers to ensure that LNG is installed and transported efficiently. For instance, McDermott International's CB&I Storage Solutions division has won a contract to build an LNG import plant in Batangas, Philippines. Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Company was awarded the contract (AG&P). It is for the design, procurement, and building of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank for AG&P's LNG import and regasification terminal in the Philippines. The facility will have a capacity of up to 3 million tonnes per annum of regasified LNG at first. It will also have a scalable onshore regasification capability of 420 mmscfd and a storage capacity of about 200,000 cbm.
The APAC region is greatly affected by COVID-19, the country also homes the largest population across the world, thereby imposing greater risk on many individuals; it is also a world leader of many global brands. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the pandemic has also affected other major economies outside China, such as the large India, Australia, and Japan, and is experiencing downward inflation. The sudden closedown of all economic activities across all countries in the region has highly impacted the marine and oil & gas industry. The APAC region constitutes the world’s two most populated countries as well as prominent oil & gas producing countries across the Asian region. China virtually imposed strict lockdown and social isolation, which stopped manufacturing activities, thus the oil & gas construction activities across the Chinese region plummeted significantly and resulted in weak demand for LNG Storage tank. Similarly, India also imposed a nationwide lockdown to control the growing number of COVID-19 cases. Subsequently, the lockdown and disruption of various manufacturing activities contributed significantly to reduced activities in oil & gas sector. The shutdown of various plants and halts in the onshore projects disrupted various major projects in the region. Thus, the overall decline of manufacturing and transportation activities in oil & gas industries collectively reduced the demand for LNG storage tanks across the Asian countries during the early months of the 2020 due to the outbreak of virus in respective countries.

The LNG storage tank market in APAC is expected to grow from US$ 2,883.11 million in 2021 to US$ 5,456.70 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2021 to 2028. A large volume of LNG is transported through the sea route, where LNG is loaded onto double-hulled ships and the gas is off-loaded to well-insulated storage tanks. Later it is re-gasified for admission into the pipeline distribution network. Moreover, LNG is also shipped in smaller quantities, generally for shorter ocean distances. The growing LNG trade in small-scale shipments is commonly transported in the same containers used on trucks for international trade, particularly outfitted with cryogenic tanks. As per the Royal Dutch Shell PLC's latest annual LNG outlook, published on February 25, 2021, the LNG trade across the world is expected to rise by about 10 million tonnes in 2021, or increase by 2.8% compared to the record of 2020, to bring total trade to 370 Mt. According to outlook, the LNG trade growth would reach around 12 Mt in 2022 and ~15 Mt in 2023.
