In 2023, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) consumption in China's wholesale and retail trades, hotels, and catering services stood at an estimated 87.12 ten thousand metric tons. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a negligible increase, with values reaching 87.22 ten thousand metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year growth is minimal, suggesting a stagnant trend with nearly flat CAGR over the forecast period. This indicates a mature and stable market with limited expansion in LPG consumption within these sectors.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in energy efficiency could reduce LPG demand.
Government policies encouraging alternative energy sources may impact LPG usage.
Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards more eco-friendly options could influence the market.
Economic fluctuations and their impact on the hospitality sector may alter consumption patterns.
