Report summary
2023 will be remembered as a pivotal year for the LNG industry. While the market eases up, volatility remains. New supply growth was limited, with record levels of planned maintenance.

In this report, we examine the changed LNG landscape, recap the year’s most significant developments, review trends and share our outlook for the industry.
