Asia will likely import record volumes of LPG in 2020 as firms snap up the fuel to make petrochemicals used in protective gear against the coronavirus, while households under lockdown ramped up purchases for cooking. The region will buy some 67-69.5mt million tonnes of the gas from abroad this year, surpassing last year’s record. Strong Asian demand could weigh on supplies in coming months just as Europe is likely to step up purchases of the fuel for heating in winter.
