Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7jnm8k/liquefied) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Market - Includes Forecast to 2018" report to their offering.

Governments of major emerging economies such as India, Thailand, Turkey, Indonesia and other countries have been taking initiatives to promote the use of LPG in domestic applications such as cooking and space heating. In addition, the increasing number of auto gas vehicles - owing to cost benefits offered by LPG over conventional fuels such as gasoline and diesel - has led to an increase in LPG consumption globally. Various benefits such as low cost, low carbon emission and other operational benefits are expected to push the global demand.

In Asia Pacific major demand is derived from refineries where as in North America it is sourced from non-associated gas. Development in shale gas resources, especially in the U.S. and China, is expected boost the LPG demand from non associated gas source in the near future.

The auto fuel segment is also expected to show substantial growth and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4%, in terms of revenue from 2012 to 2018. Reducing reliance on conventional auto fuels such as gasoline and diesel is expected to boost the demand for auto gas over the forecast period. Growth in petrochemical industries is expected to push the LPG demand in future.
