If we scroll down the above Table, the first available data point is for the year 1975, when world gas demand was 1,234 BCM year, Indian and Chinese gas markets had barely developed (1 BCM/year and 8.8 BCM/year demand respectively), while US demand was 569.7 BCM/year, accounting for over 46% of world demand
By 2024, US share is still sizeable, but has fallen to ~22.5%, as gas markets around the world have developed
If we see the trend graphically, there has been no slowdown in the long-term world gas demand trajectory and it continues to grow steadily at a CAGR of ~2.5%
