Currently, LPG in Vietnam is mainly used for civil or industrial purposes (food processing, paper making, plastic granules, explosives, refrigerants, etc.), other applications from LPG products are still low such as using LPG in petrochemical technology. This leads to the scale of the LPG port warehouse system being mainly small ports, the capacity to import goods from large tonnage ships is still limited.

Regarding domestic LPG production: Dinh Co GPP Factory and Dung Quat Oil Refinery with an output of about 750,000 tons/year, accounting for about 45% of Vietnam's LPG demand.

According to the Vietnam Gas Association, the domestic gas supply is decreasing (to 7 billion m3 in 2025), while demand is increasing to more than 20 billion m3 in 2030. Therefore, importing LNG is an inevitable trend to serve market demand. According to the assessment, after nearly 20 years of exploitation (from 2018), domestic gas sources will gradually decrease, while additional gas sources from new mines in areas with declining gas sources will not be much.

It is expected that, to meet domestic LPG consumption demand, the storage infrastructure of LPG warehouses must reach a scale of about 3.5 - 4 million tons/year by 2025 and about 4.5 - 5 million tons/year by 2035, ensuring to meet the minimum reserve requirement of over 15 days of supply.

In July, domestic retail gas prices remained stable at the same level as in June, following the trend of world gas prices. Specifically, the retail price of Petrolimex gas cylinders (including VAT) in July 2024 in the Hanoi market was VND 445,500/12 kg household cylinder; VND 1,782,000/48 kg industrial cylinder, unchanged from the price in June. Thus, since the beginning of the year, domestic gas prices have increased 3 times, decreased 3 times and remained unchanged once.
