Global natural gas industry - statistics & facts
Nearly one fourth of all energy consumed in the world comes from natural gas. The fossil fuel, which is often produced alongside oil, slowly grew in importance to the world’s energy market before supply constraints in 2022 coupled with diversification measures saw its shares of the energy mix decrease to around 23 percent in recent years. State-owned companies such as PetroChina, Gazprom, and Saudi Aramco are the world’s leading natural gas producing companies.
