The ability of a larger and more diversifiedsupply chain to mobilise 40% of volumes on a spot basis*has helped to contain the immediate impact of the Strait ofHormuz crisis. Rising liquidity on global Gas benchmarks hasoffered participants the tools to manage risk. I am pleased to present the 17th annual edition of IGU’sWorldLNG Report,which provides an authoritative andcomprehensive review of the industry at a moment of bothgrowing maturity and unprecedented challenge. The Report explores a landmark LNG performance in 2025,including record trade volumes and near-record investmentin supply capacity. It also addresses how these achievementshave shaped the market’s response to the conflict in theMiddle East in 2026. Despite the ongoing uncertainty, theReport confirms the strong fundamentals which enable theLNG industry to strengthen its medium-term expansion pathin the decade to 2035. Looking ahead, the fundamental drivers underpinning thelonger-term outlook for LNG demand through 2035 remainintact. Population growth, urbanisation, digitalisation, risingelectricitydemand and the continued pursuit of cleanerenergysystems will require reliable and flexible energysolutions which LNG is uniquely positioned to support. In 2025, global LNG trade grew by 6.3% to 437 million tonnes,thefastest rate since 2022,as Canada and Mauritania/Senegal joined the ranks of exporters, while the United Statesprovided the bulk of incremental exports. A total of 13 newregasification terminals were added, with one market openingits first ever LNG regasification terminal, while a further eightprospective markets are progressing regasification projects. The challenges of 2026 are significant, but they do not alterthe industry's long-term trajectory. Rather, they reinforcetheimportance of continued investment,innovation andinternational cooperation to ensure that LNG can continuedelivering secure, affordable and lower-emission energy tocommunities around the world. In order to secure these benefits, it is imperative that policymakers act to shield energy infrastructure, secure freedomof navigation and avoid creating unnecessary impediments totrade. Sustainedinvestor confidence was demonstrated by the68.4 Mtpa of liquefaction capacity sanctioned in 2025, onl
