Abstract
In 2018, the volume of global LNG trade reached 320 million tons, which was a new level in history with salient feature of regional characteristic. Global LNG supply capacity continued to grow, and most of the additional exports were from Australia, the United States, and Russia. Asia continued to lead global LNG demand growth, and China contributed more than 50％ of global growth. Spot LNG prices in the United States were steady with a slight increase, while prices in Europe and Asia were seasonal. Along with the acceleration of the world's LNG market, some new characteristics and trends of the trade structure have emerged during the rapid changes. In the future, the world's record number of new LNG projects will make the world's LNG enough supply. Asia will still be the main source of demand growth, but the growth rate of demand may slow down, the multi-source competition pattern in the European natural gas market will intensify, and the global natural gas price is expected to fall further under the market conditions of loose supply and demand.关键词
