Hence, in Eurasia, the residential/commercial application of LPG is mostly driven by the use of LPG for heating applications.

The Eurasian LPG market is expected to grow considering the applicability of LPG in various applications. Europe, being a developed region, has people who are conscious about their carbon emission. Hence, the Eurasian LPG market is expected to grow in the auto gas application of LPG.
