China will reduce LNG imports in 2026.
Import volumes will decrease by 25% compared to March 2025. In March 2026, China plans to reduce the import volumes of liquefied natural gas (LNG). According to Bloomberg, citing data from Kpler, LNG imports will drop to the level of 2018 — this will be the lowest figure in the last eight years. The reason for the decrease in demand is the rise in LNG prices, which is linked to the conflict in the Middle East. It is projected that in March 2026, import volumes will amount to 3.7 million tons. This is 25 percent less than in March 2025. The conflict with Iran has affected the global LNG market. Due to the war, the world's largest LNG export plant in Qatar has been halted. Access through the Strait of Hormuz, which accounted for up to 20 percent of global LNG trade, has also been severely restricted. As a result, Chinese companies have decided to cut purchases and focus on the domestic gas market or pipeline supplies.
