Asia Pacific
The Asia Pacific gas market has been traditionally strongly dominated by Japan followed by South Korea, with minor consumptions in Taiwan. Despite the significant increase (14% in 2011 and 11% in 2012) in Japanese LNG imports following the nuclear accident in Fukushima, the weight of the country in the region was reduced down to 50%. This was the result of the maturity of Japanese demand along with the sustained growth in the South Korean and Taiwanese consumption (8% yearly growth on average) and the expansion of new markets particularly China and India.
