3.3.2.2 LNG imports
The next figures show the clear dominance of Asia Pacific in the evolution of the
breakdown by geographical area of LNG imports for the period 2001–2015. In this
period the share of Asia Pacific in the LNG market has oscillated between 62% and
74%. Far from these shares, the second main LNG market has been Europe (in-
cluding Eurasia). Their maximum share of the global LNG imports was reached in
2009 with 29% before dropping down to 17% in 2015. Since 2010 the American
markets have compensated each other with a simultaneous decrease of North
American imports and an increase of South American imports.
