If we scroll down the above Table, the first available data point from the source is for the year 1975, which when converted into Bcf/d unit, translates into world gas demand of 119.4 Bcf/d, Indian and Chinese gas markets had barely developed (0.1 Bcf/d and 0.9 Bcf/d demand respectively), while US demand was 55.1 Bcf/d, 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%
