Global 2025 LNG Exports Had Biggest Jump in Three Years
Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports in 2025 are estimated to have increased 4% from last year to 429 million tons, according to Kpler, which tracks shipping data.
Kpler’s estimate would mark the largest annual increase since 2022, when exports climbed 4.5% compared with the year before.
For trucking, LNG export volume is worth watching because it reflects overall movement in the energy supply chain, from production through ports and onward to end-use markets. When export levels change, it can affect how much energy product is moving through key corridors and industrial regions tied to energy activity.
In context, the 2025 increase stands out because year-over-year growth in exports has been smaller since 2022, making this the biggest jump in three years based on the shipping data Kpler compiles.
