According to a S&P Global Energy study, liquefied natural gas is expected to become the second-largest net export industry in the US within five years, contributing nearly $1.4 trillion to US GDP by 2040. As new liquefied natural gas plants drive production capacity growth, the US became the first country in the world to export more than 100 million metric tons of LNG in a single year in 2025. According to S&P research, the overall investment scale of the US LNG supply chain will exceed 1 trillion US dollars by 2040. Following the lifting of the “moratorium” on LNG exports last year, related capital investment is expected to increase dramatically. Research estimates that LNG exports will generate $2.9 trillion in revenue, $206 billion in taxes, and nearly $630 billion in labor income. Average domestic gas costs in the US are expected to rise 1.6% between 2026 and 2031. Export growth will double the demand for gas supply to reach 36 billion cubic feet per day by 2031.
