Growing natural gas supply and its environmental benefits are shifting capital equipment purchasing from coal. Countries with cheaper gas are reducing emissions, and gas market reforms in places like the UK and China are expected to boost private investment in gas infrastructure.

Global natural gas supply grew 1.6% annually from 2011-2016 and is projected to continue growing. The US is expected to account for 40% of this growth, followed by China (40%) and the Middle East (20%).

Global natural gas supply saw a slight recovery in 2021, but the Russia-Ukraine War caused a further drop, especially in Europe, leading to record-high prices. North America and the Middle East are anticipated to significantly increase production and exports to compensate for restricted Russian supply.
