Report summary
Demand growth in China's gas market – averaging c. 15% for the past 5 years – slumped to under 3% year-on-year in the first 6 months of 2015, driving uncertainty around the outlook for Asia Pacific gas prices, the ramp up of contracted LNG volumes, and ultimately the scale of China's gas market.
