Transforming Bangladesh's Energy Landscape

The Bangladesh LPG Market

Fueling national growth with reliable deep-sea access

Explosive Growth

Bangladesh’s LPG demand is expanding faster than existing infrastructure can support. AEI-KDM JV adds the scale required for the next decade.

  • Annual Demand (2024): 1.9 million metric tons
  • Market Value: US$ 4 billion
  • Growth Rate: 10–12% annually
  • Import Dependency: 98%

AEI-KDM JV’s deep-sea terminal becomes the backbone of national supply, matching growth with uninterrupted VLGC access.

Explosive growth in the Bangladesh LPG market

Future Demand & Projections

The country’s reliance on LPG imports will continue to surge. Our terminal is positioned to handle the ramp-up efficiently.

  • 2030: 3.0 million metric tons
  • 2035: 4.5 million metric tons

Current national storage is only 100,000 tons—less than one month’s supply. AEI-KDM JV adds 500,000 tons of strategic storage for zero interruptions, price stability, and a secure reserve.
