Key Highlights

The gas utilities market covers all natural gas consumption, net of distribution or transmission losses, by end-users in the following categories: industrial (including use as a feedstock and autogeneration), commercial and public-sector organizations, residential consumers, electric power generation (including combined heat and power but excluding autogeneration and heat plant), and other (including transport, agriculture, centralized heat plant, and other usage). Values are calculated from segment volumes and the average annual price of gas charged to end-users in each segment net of any applicable taxes.

The Japanese gas utilities industry is expected to generate total revenues of $108,820.1m in 2016, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% between 2012 and 2016.

Industry consumption volume is forecast to decline with a compound annual rate of change (CARC) of -1.3% between 2012 and 2016, to reach a total of 4,420.3 billion cubic feet in 2016.

Demand for natural gas is impacted by many factors. In the residential sector, demand is largely driven by weather conditions. Particularly mild winters can lead to a drop in demand, and vice-versa. Demand is also driven by the desire of many countries to cut carbon emissions. Power generation by natural gas produces approximately 50% less carbon emissions than coal power generation.
