Global Tight Gas Market Growing At A CAGR Of 4.7% From 2014 To 2020 : Grand View Research, Inc.

Global tight gas market is expected to reach USD 59.40 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2014 to 2020. Depleting conventional natural gas reservoirs around the world has prompted the industry to develop unconventional reserves which is expected to remain a key factor driving the market for tight gas. In addition, government support in the form of financial incentives and tax holidays is also expected drive the market over the forecast period. Favorable regulatory scenario in China, coupled with government initiatives to increase tight gas and CBM production is expected to drive market demand over the next six years. However, high costs associated with drilling and completion of tight gas reserves and environmental concerns caused due to hydraulic fracturing are expected to be a key challenge for market participants in the coming years.

However, government support to push the production of tight gas in China is expected to make Asia Pacific the fastest growing market for tight gas at an estimated CAGR of 13.6% from 2014 to 2020. However, lack of drilling companies operating in Australia and Western Europe to meet the economies of scale has been hampering the production rate.
