India unconventional gas market is expected to grow at a steady CAGR during the forecast period. Unconventional gas refers to natural gas that requires advanced production methods. These gas resources are found in unusual geological locations hence special extraction technologies are needed for their production. Unconventional gas is produced from coal-seams, shale rocks and rocks with low permeability.

Declining natural gas prices, improvement in drilling technologies for unconventional gas exploration, improving supply and distribution infrastructure, among others are some of the major factors driving India unconventional gas market during forecast period. Additionally, the shortage of conventional fossil fuels and degradation of the environment is further increasing the demand for unconventional gases, thereby propelling the market during forecast period.

India unconventional gas market is segmented based on type, application, company and region. Based on type, the market can be categorized into shale gas, tight gas, coalbed methane and others. Shale gas is expected to dominate the market during forecast period since shale gas is a cleaner burning fuel than coal and crude oil. The combustion of shale gas emits significantly lower levels of pollutants, including carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur dioxide than the combustion of coal and oil. Based on application, the market can be fragmented into industrial, residential, commercial, power generation, transportation, fuel industry and others. The industrial segment is expected to dominate the market as low-cost unconventional gases are replacing conventional energy sources like coal, nuclear, hydro in many industries like chemical, fertilizer, hydrogel production, among others.

The major players operating in the unconventional gas market are Oil & Natural Gas Corporation, Chevron Petroleum India Private Limited, Exxon Mobil India Private Ltd., Royal Dutch Shell, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), Gujarat State Petronet Limited, Reliance Industries Limited, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, Oil India Limited and others. Major companies are developing advanced technologies and launching new products in order to stay competitive in the market. Other competitive strategies include mergers & acquisitions and new product developments.
